I don't see how Grandma's drunken 'boob flashing' fat loser tyrade was


Tammy's fault. even partially. even Lenore's reaction was less than pleased.


why did Lenore have to explain how life is not fair? I don't think people calling anyone names drunk or not is just cause for the 'life isn't fair' after school special.


even Lenore is like 'she's an alcoholic, she's sick.' so why let her drink/let her get that out of hand? and then why blame another person for her crap?? she has a lot of things going on and she doesn't take care of herself, [including not even bringing her diabetic medicine along for the trip], why is that tammy's fault?

not for nothing, tammy kept quiet over Lenore lighting the jetski on fire, that counts for something.




OH THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU SO BLOODY MUCH!!! Basil Fawlty

Yeh Lenore's whole speech there was way off the mark.

She was just publicly humiliated and called a fat, loser and given the 'Who would want that, look at her!?' speech – when she was supposed to be in her post-Ugly Duckling get up – by someone meant to be family...

And the response from Lenore. "You need to toughen up, it's not your grandma's fault she is a drunken, obnoxious old bitch - it's your fault for taking it so personally and not being *beep* perfect like me in my massive mansion. Og and it is way harder being a lesbian so quit whining and lose weight!"

Wow. Real positive message. Thanks Lenore!

I must admit that even though I loved the movie, this whole speech scene did throw me. Tammy had just been made fun of by a supposed loving relative and Lenore turns it around on Tammy to make it seem it was her and for her to grow up, ummm, I don't think so people, if a "loving" relative spoke to me like that they would be thumped, drunk or not. So yeah, this was the only scene that felt forced and didn't feel right, certainly not written properly thats for sure.

I agree, it didnt feel right :(

I thought Lenore's speech was great. No, Pearl's drunken tirade wasn't Tammy's fault, but everything Lenore had to say was true and Tammy needed to hear it.
