Idiot Daughter

I agree, she was incredibly annoying. I keep telling myself that it 'has' to happen in a lot of these movies, otherwise everything would go 'too perfect'; and then we wouldn't have a movie!

However, she drove me freakin' crazy.

We all deserve to die. Even you! Mrs. Lovett, even I!

She's a confused and frightened teenager, who doesn't know what's going on, and doesn't know much of anything about her own father.

A lot of kids would act the same way in a life or death situation. So would a lot of adults.

I think some Hollywood films have skewed your understanding of life and death situations. Fear can be crippling.

You know what annoys me more than the girl in this movie?

The idea that any of us know what we would do - or what someone else should do - in a situation we've never been in and have only seen played out on our TV screens. Honestly, you have no idea how you would react in any given situation until it actually happens to you...and even then, there's no telling how you would react in another similar situation. The simple fact of the matter is that our reactions to any set of circumstances are based on so many factors that it's impossible to say how we would (or should) react ahead of time.

I know how we think we would react...and how we think we should react, but that's no promise that we would behave in that way.

As an example, look at how we judge people who have lost a loved one to violence/murder. Aren't we always critical of how their loved ones behave...even going so far as to say their behavior indicates guilt (or lack thereof). And aren't we (or the police) sometimes incorrect?

Haven't any of you ever had someone really shock you with their behavior after you've broken up? Or done something yourself that you would never have imagined you would have done after a break up?

I just think it's pretty naive to assume that in times of high stress or serious mental anguish that any of us know, without a shadow of a doubt, how we would behave. I think we've all done things (or had things done to us) that were quite shocking in times like these.

To be honest I found the dad more annoying

...she murdered this movie.

A trained chihuahua would have made the experience more enjoyable.

I'm totally with you on this one.

She's already been in a car accident where someone tried to kill her, the someone else trying to kill her actually wings her. There are people after them, she runs upstairs to warn dad, they get to the garage and people are shooting at them, then driving n a stolen car,she goes speeding through town and slams into a fence. So instead of being scared or sober minded, trying to preserve her own life -- she decides to draw as much attention to herself and dad as possible and then decides she is going to run off in a foreign city she has only been in for 6-8 weeks, She's an idiot. Very poor writing. It's a movie, it's fake, it's acting, but it should be believable. This character was unbelievable there was no "genuiness" to her.

Ha! I would have wanted to see you in that situation!

She was a genius, a few examples I can think of at the top of my head:
1. the way she arranged that house-visitation.
2. set of cars in the garage to distract father's opponent and then arranging an escape car for her and her father driving up to them and escaping from them herself.
2. Get in the elavator with suspicious looking people (talk about heroic) to see if they were getting to the floor her father was on, then getting out, setting the hotelalarm of to both cause a delay on their part and warn her father.

With that last deed she almost literally saved his live, 'nough said.

If I were CIA-head officer or something I would recruit her as soon as she would come out of college or university. She obviously takes after her father: both in intelligence and courage.
