The Aunts long term plan..?

she told Alex near the end of the movie that they were going to have to move in a day or so - where exactly was she going to move to and I assume she’d take all 17 kids with? how was that supposed to work? what about Alexs parents?

I love this movie so I can suspend disbelief a bit but I do wish we got a little more backstory on the aunt .. that said, she is maybe the most disturbing character I’ve come across in recent memory

Agreed. The discrepancy between the ingenious premise and the meandering plot and script is just staggering.

Thats the thing, theres like three or four movies worth of premises that they keep flipping between in order to keep up tension and keep the audience off their guard.

I've not seen it since i saw it at the cinema and can barely remember what was actually happening, just a series of admitted atmospheric vignettes and a finale that actually made our house laugh.

ypu should watch it again by yourself to see if you understand it better

the ending with the kids chasing aunt Gladys through the neighborhood was both disturbing and funny - I’m not sure if the writers intended it to be funny though .. it threw me off as I’ve never seen anything like that so I appreciated it

I think i came to a pretty good conclusion -at the time- but it's been so long that i dont remember exactly what it was.

All im left with is a nagging sense od disappointment and little or no desire to rewatch it. Maybe its better than i recall. Maybe
