In order to fulfill the single date of his mother who raised him alone, Noah, the big boy who has done nothing, goes to help Pedulla's family as a nanny. There are three weird children in their family that make Noah burn out. He has to deal with the work of a babysitter and try his best to please his girlfriend (at least he thinks it is), and the various demons and monsters hidden in the city also come out to make things difficult for him. Finally, there is a regular counterattack of hanging silk!
Hollywood’s usual routine is to first portray a terrible loser, and then the whole plot is reversed. The loser becomes the true love object of the "three good" women (good looks, good body, and good character), and all must be resolved. The problems of positive characters, and the negative factors in their characteristics are effectively improved or alleviated. So as to release as much drama as possible, and become an inspirational movie that is exciting enough.
The protagonist Noah usually looks fat, does not work properly, and is a little bit self-deprecating about his personal life (we later learned that this may be caused by witnessing his father’s cheating and lack of father’s love when he was a child), but he was not completely numb, at least in his mother. When he needed help, he reluctantly acted as a babysitter for her. This gives us a glimmer of expectation. His life has changed due to an adventure. The characters of the three children in the play are also bright and full, the little girl who is mischievous, wears heavy makeup, and is too precocious; the timid, shy, and full-fledged boy Stella (in the end it is indeed gay, Sla In the first shot that appeared, he was watching men’s gymnastics, which had already hinted at his homosexuality); the adopted Latin boy who likes to disrupt. They are all typical representatives of small victims in wealthy middle-class families. If they are put in a more serious feature film, these will become scandals, and the film will be just right to criticize, and in many cases it will be comedicized. In addition, the sissy drug dealer inside has uncertain behaviors and weird performances, which should be referred to Gary Oldman in "This Killer Is Not So Cold"
One aspect of Hollywood's narrative technique that always makes me uncomfortable is that in order to achieve the final happy ending, a lot of pretense will be made. For example, there is something wrong with some parts in this movie: in order to make up for the emotional hurt of the male protagonist, a black beauty should be forced into the play. She still has a crush on the male protagonist who is very sad in all aspects, which also coincides. The black and white reconciliation, in fact, many good screenwriters have realized the proliferation of this kind of plot, and the persuasiveness of the audience is not as good as before and it seems far-fetched; in addition, when Noah comforted the little girl Bryce, she did it. A few facial expressions and performances are incredible mature. Maybe the director's grooming is a little better, and we won't notice it. The crux of the problem is that we should not exclude the defects of the characters themselves, which makes them more authentic and full of flesh and blood.
