I totally get why Rose wanted to stab her stepmother after she had embarrassed her during the party. That's so gruesome, so I won't even go there. But I love this scene!

Sorry, but there is nothing remotely funny about mental illness ,especially one that results in a suicide.

I would have wanted to kill her if she had said that about my mother, mental illness or not, But the stepmother really was wicked.

It was obviously meant as funny, as you can see Brooke Smith's reaction, and one of the best lines in the movie when she gets dropped off "Hands down the best shower I've ever been to".

But as for lashing out at bitch stepmother, it's later when Toni discovers Ella is still alive "why are you speaking?", I like that even better.

Seriously though, what the hell is the deal with her? I assume that father remarried what, no sooner than 2 years after his wife's death. That makes the girls 11 tops (and Diaz even smaller). That means the girls must have lived with stepmother, in a new house ("our old living room" while looking at pics with Ella).
Sepal Depal whateverthehellhername is talks about that house as if she was the sole owner. Even if it was hers before marriage, it became half his, and the house the two girls grew up in. What right does she have?

The 'wicked stepmother' stereotype didn't come about by accident. Without going into personal details too much, my two children could write a book on the abuses they suffered at the hands of their stepmother. Nothing physical, but heaps of unending emotional stuff. Put me in a shocking position of not wanting them to have to be subjected to it, but not wanting to not allow them to see their Dad either. Ultimately it led to the breakdown of the marriage as their Dad, (my-ex husband), said he just couldn't stop it or take it any more either. As portrayed in this film, their Dad looked helpless to stop it, too.

Sorry to hear about your own experience.

In this movie, the dad doesn't really come off as helpless, more, very nice and well-meaning?
