Maybe someone can help me with a question about this movie.......

Okay, I checked this movie out from the library because the description on the back of the DVD case described it as a "family comedy" and indicated it was a "road trip movie" Now Family Comedy has ALWAYS been used to describe a movie that is fit for little kids and adults--something a whole family can watch together-some idiot got it wrong here though and used the wrong phrase. This is obviously not a movie little kids can see what with all the sex and slight nudity in it.

Anyway back to my question.

I got so irritated with the bitchy piece of crap "party girl" sister stealing shoes,clothes,car, money from "rose" as well as stealing money from her parents that I ended up turning off the movie a few moments after they show the worthless blonde drunk sister (who seems determined to force her family support her and bail her out of trouble and just generally make everyone miserable)finds the cards with the money inside.

Anyhoo I have been wondering since--that seemed to indicate that the stepmom had been stealing the girls birthday money since they were kids. Whatever became of that? Did they ever confront her or was it ever explained why the girls "birthday money" had seemingly been stolen or even hidden for no apparent reason?

If anyone can answer this I'd appreciate it-thanks.

maybe if you read the book it would make sense

no one was stealing money the grandmother was estranged following the sisters Mums suicide as their farther was angry (guilt, blame grief etc) so she would send cards for birthdays etc and instead of throwing them away sored them in a box,

When Maggie finds the birthday cards, they are unopened. She opens them and takes the money.

The father was keeping the b-day cards from the sisters because he wanted them to have nothing to do with the controlling grandmother. No one was stealing as the money was still in the cards from years ago.

Yes, and she says "thanks for the cash" when she's talking to her newly found grandmother.

Sedagive?!!!

The first one she opens is quite easy to open, you would not be able to open a sealed envelope that way. And those letters, with those kinds of birtday cards for small kids, must have been there for at least , at least ten years...
