Is it just me or was the father kind of an idiot


He seems to act a bit stupid and i found him very annoying in the end scenes

I thought he was a lot like his wife. Not stupid, but not very realistic about things.

They were both living in a fantasy world. I guess that's why a fantasy happened to them.

Yeah, never liked him.

We all live in suspense from day to day; you are the hero of your own story.

Love him, he's awesome.

What if a squirrel wants a sausage?

reply

I love him to, he is awesome!

He wasn't an idiot, he loved his family and life, he just wasn't being realistic.

I thought the father was the only tolerable character in the movie.

Its just you, I thought the dad was pretty good character

i agree with you- he acts a bit daft throughout the movie- and when edward runs off near the end and everyone is telling him to go find him he acts almost stoned!

I recently re-watched this and I thought he was the chillest character, I can understand why you'd find him annoying towards the end, I suppose most people would expect him to go ballistic over Edward running away but I think he took Edward as just another teen and being an adult he didn't think it was that big of a deal to see him walking away. Just a good example of how sometimes adults underestimate certain events.
