I felt more sympathy for Chet than I did for Roman

Roman. Neither men are great, but Roman was smarmy.

Roman got on my nerves a lot more than Chet did.

What exactly did Chet do that would merit this question?

[–] csweetleaf2 (3718) 4 years ago

He was overbearing and tried to take control on everything when it came to their vacation.

You do realize that John Candy was the Chet character right?

[–] csweetleaf2 (3718) 4 years ago

I was actually talking about Roman, I liked Chet and found him to be the more likable, sympathetic character of the two.

Chet was a jerk?

[–] sslssg (34565) 4 years ago

I don't really see how Chet was a jerk

[–] csweetleaf2 (3718) 3 years ago

Neither did I, I was curious to know from everyone's perspective on who they thought was a bigger jerk.

That’s not how you ask a question then. It makes it sound like it’s debatable when it’s not. Everyone will think you’re crazy or soft

Both were dicks to each other, but Roman did succeed in conning Chet out of a bunch of $$$ until his guilt took over. By the end, Roman is living in Chet's house so Roman was certainly a much bigger creep.
