Little Evil

Has anyone seen the movie Little Evil on Netflix? If you haven't you might like it. The movie is about a man who married a woman with a child from another man. The step dad and the step son do not get along as the child keeps trying to get rid of him and mom is a disney mom. It is basically a horror comedy, more on the comedy side. Bf and I watched this a few nights ago and we liked it. Well I liked it until the end because WARNING SPOILER ALERT the movie ends with after spending time with his step son that the step dad ends up loving him. AKA hinting towards all a step parent needs to do is spend time with their step children and they will love them. This is after the child buried him alive in their backyard, so not realistic at all that after an attempted murder by the step child that the step parent will love the child after quality time.

I mean luckily for me I do love my SD and there are no negative feelings towards her, etc. but for those who really do have "little evil" step children at home who are just trying to get rid of their step parent, time together is not going to fix it. In the beginning though does highlight well how the bio parent can be blinded by their child's attempts to get in the way of their marriage, etc. but think the child can do no wrong.

Anyone else seen the movie?

I haven't seen that one but the movie "Cyrus" with Marisa Tomei is pretty realistic. Jonah Hill plays her enmeshed, coddled adult son.

It's very realistic in terms of manipulative skids. It does sort of buy into the hollywood stereotype of exes being BFFs though.
