Steve Jones, who plays the role of father, falls in love with Kate who plays the role of mother. Although he is a subordinate, he still pursues Kate who is a superior, and Kate's wish is to become an idol in the sales team— - This seems to be the highest honor a company can bestow! So Kate doesn't pay much attention to Steve and doesn't care about her love life.
Daughter Jenny is a flirtatious young woman with an attitude of playing life. In the end, she seduces "Hammer", a married man who is also wealthy in the community. After marrying her, she found her wife to come forward to clean up the mess, and she disappeared and never saw her again. The sad Jenny finally realized that she still needed a normal relationship and a man's sincerity, not the other's "big hammer"!
Son Mike is actually a homosexual, and he dated a girlfriend in name only, but he actually fell in love with his brother. At a PARTY, he sold products with alcohol content to minors, and even lent his car to his girlfriend and brother to go for a ride together (the two of them), when his girlfriend saw that he was driving drunk and wanted to catch up with them, but Unexpectedly, there was a car accident, but luckily only minor injuries. And his girlfriend's brother, after learning his gay status, responded by punching Mike and insulting Mike! This incident attracted the attention of the police, and the intervention of the police made Kate's "idol dream" a little farther away...
The Larry and his wife, the newly-acquainted friends of the Jones and his wife, became financially stressed because of their crazy consumption of high-end products. When the credit card and mortgage were not paid, the bank had to repossess the house. He threw himself into a swimming pool and committed suicide by tying himself to something heavy. Although Steve rescued Larry in the first place, it still cannot change the fact that Larry died. After the police came, the body was carried away on a stretcher, and the onlookers were all people who had contact with the Steve family and bought products because of Steve's influence. At this time, Steve couldn't sit still any longer, and he still explained his situation to everyone with self-blame and guilt in his heart - pretending to be someone else and making a fortune by showing off his wealth. Got a slap in the face from Mrs. Larry! The remaining three members of the Jones family fled, and under the arrangement of the company's top management, they found a new father to form a family to continue their sales work...
But fortunately, it is an American movie, which usually has a happy ending—— In the end Steve found Kate and convinced her to live his new, real life with him! And "son" Mike also announced that he is gay and found a boyfriend; "daughter" Jenny has not entered a new relationship for the time being.
The story is over, the plot is not very exciting, but some things are worth thinking about.
First of all, Steve and Kate are both unsatisfactory people in real life, so they rely on playing the role of others to satisfy themselves and make up for their previous frustrations before they find their own place. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a very pitiful thing for a person to rely on the interpretation of other people's lives to obtain satisfaction. Although there is no explanation in the movie, I believe that Mike and Jenny came to this family for the same reason... Although they can live a rich life without spending money, only they know the taste of it!
Secondly, if your friend is so overwhelmed and committed suicide because of you, will you reveal your true identity in public? ! I have to admit that Steve is very courageous, because he still has at least a conscience! The first reaction of the other three Jones's was to go back to "home" to pack things and move away from the scene, leaving Steve alone, which must be said to be chilling, but maybe this is the reaction of ordinary people...
Third, I want to talk about Steve's dedication to love. A 45-year-old single old man who has never been married does not know why he has not entered the palace of marriage for a long time, but after meeting the "right person" he thinks, even if the other party rejects him on the excuse of work. Again, he still didn't give up. It can be seen that in his heart, love is precious and worth fighting for and possessing. The unhappy 45 years before did not kill a man's fighting spirit to try his best to shuffle his destiny. Che Che thinks it is worthy of praise!
Fourth, talk about Larry's death. In fact, in the beginning, Mrs. Larry also made money by doing sales, and Larry himself can make money. Life was not bad, but because a super rich Jones family came to the community, and he seemed to have everything in material and affection, which made him jealous. Under Steve's suggestion, he also began to buy some expensive gifts to please his wife and improve the relationship between husband and wife, but he did not expect to cause a financial crisis! In fact, the night before the suicide, Steve learned about Larry's financial situation and persuaded Larry to return some of the goods to repay the money, but Larry mistakenly thought that Steve was a central figure who had to do everything and was jealous of Larry , and thought Steve was a soft-boiled man supported by his wife! Hey, the tragedy happened in the end! It can only be said that there is really no comparison between people - think of a point: the happiness index is determined by your friends, neighbors, colleagues, relatives, if you live better than them, you will feel happy; otherwise You will consider yourself unfortunate! - It really is!
Not to mention the rest, in fact, life is our own. Even if there are detours and ups and downs, as long as we do not give up our beliefs, God will always prepare an unexpected surprise for everyone!
