Plot twist: Stan is actually so emotionally unstable because he is worried that the police will find out that he intentionally pushed his son into oncoming traffic where Sam ran him over.
It’s adorable that Danny cries everytime the little girl gets adopted and is so mad about crying about it, but not because he thinks it makes him look weak, but because he thinks the movie isn’t worth crying over
Danny is unironically more strong than any “alpha male” CZcams channel… because he doesn’t even have to try. He doesn’t have to put on a front of strength and confidence, he just naturally is confident and unafraid to be goofy or cry or care if people think he’s not masculine for it. He’s just himself and chill and it speaks volumes about his confidence, unlike alphas who are obsessed with how they’re being perceived.
Stan is THE writing mood tho. Typing two words and saying “screw it, I’m outta here?” That is the most relatable thing about writing I’ve ever seen in a movie tbh
Every time I sit down to write and then give up without getting much done I can hear Danny say “Stan’s not writing shit today”. Stan is a little too relatable at times 😅
"The night was..." is my favorite movie example, from _Throw Mama From The Train_ "The night was hot, wait no, the night, the night was humid. The night was humid, no wait, hot, hot. The night was hot. The night was hot and wet, wet and hot." & it goes on from there, eventually ending up with -spoiler- sultry lol
This movie actually didn’t seem that bad compared to other ones he’s reacted to on this channel. I didn’t find the plot holes or writing to be too awful. Again, watching bad movie commentary from him and Drew and Kurtis probably set the bar low lol
@@KillerQueenDopamine depends on how you take it, I think most of the top comments being heavily annoyed with Stan just getting a redemption arc after 2 years of being an asshole paints the picture.
What a twisted prick! Killing a boy and just watching the couple in pain. He even has the balls to ask “which one is yours?” To a middle aged man watching a baseball game.
The rest of the movie absolutely should have been Stan’s ever-increasing rage at his continued failed attempts to destroy the lamp. It should have been like a Warner bros cartoon and he gets bigger tools each time like a jackhammer and then a steamroller and industrial shredders, like he has to literally drive to these locations, and each time the wife just slaps her forehead, riding along with him in the car, saying “Stan no stop it”
I'm pretty sure it's the plot of one of the episodes of Amazing World Of Gumball Spoiler It ends with them trying to destroy the thing with whatever machinery is used to destroy cars And it fails
tearfully begging him "Stan no, Stan wait, stop it, Stan-" and like, just kind of half-heartedly jogging behind his car as he's driving (in my head, he is driving so slowly that she is actually kind of keeping pace with him, if not just like, 15 feet behind the car)
“See? It’s just a lamp! Nothing magical about it!” Stan says as he chucks the lamp into an active volcano, only to walk back to his car and see it buckled up in the backseat.
Stan’s an abusive douche and I feel really bad for Lisa but there’s one moment in the movie that really gets under my skin. Why didn’t Lisa tell Stan she was giving away their sons stuff? Like I totally get why she would want to do that on her own, she wants to heal, but there is no way she was thinking in her head “You know what would make my grieving and unstable husband get better? Giving away the last outlets he has to his son. Surely this will fix our marriage and he’ll say ‘you’re right Lisa. I’ve been too attached to my dead son and you giving away his stuff without consulting me really changed me for the better.” Obviously not on Stans side, but Lisa should’ve thought that decision through a little more
tbh she didn't have to get rid of all of his shirts like his special jersey. i mean yeah move on but man that was his jersey you can still remember him some what
imagine if the janitor was the guy who did a hit-and-run that killed the kid. so he was at the funeral knowing what he did and checked up on him through the movie, and hired the genie to help the dad
imagine the dead child in the beginning just hated baseball and his dad forced him to play, and when he told his had he didnt want to play anymore his dad took off his training wheels and shoved him directly into oncoming traffic
That scene where Charles is making toast is probably the most realistic scene in the movie. I feel like any old person with a really cheery mood would compliment their own toast to themself.
so THIS is part three in drews sequels that arent sequels series. you can tell because the actor is completely different and the plot has nothing to do with the other entries.
I think they are all great, I just hope they release a DVD of all of them in one. That would be great! Especially if it's on BLURAY. It would bring my family together for many laughs at our Valentine's dinner, maybe they will finally stay to. I just wish the free candy here actually tasted good, they say I'm not even supposed to taste it and just swallow it, what boring candy.
When Stan is standing up after giving away the glove, holding his chest, like a bunch of scenarios went through my head including but not limited to; "fuck my heartburn is back" and "his heart grew three sizes that day-"
Feel like if you're stuck in writer's block because of unbearable grief, jumping in with "Happiness is..." is just deliberately setting yourself up to fail.
24:30 At this point I'm not even sure whether Charles even has magic or not. I'm convinced he just broke into their house and has convinced them he has magic.
Plot twist: Charles is just Ester's husband that she sent to help the family, and whenever he "disappears" he just crouches behind the nearest object and hides.
Just a friendly reminder, throwing something at a wall in front of you is an act of abuse and psychological violence, doesn’t matter if they didn’t touch you. I used to believe otherwise while flinching and getting anxious whenever I hear something break throughout my entire life
@@edanrice9798 I mean there’s a difference between children who don’t know any better and a full-grown man who should have learned self-restraint by now, and is in a position of physical power over his wife
okay but why is nobody talking about the part at 20:20 where josh mentions him hitting her when he didn’t? Is that ever explained in the movie or is it just a very weird moment?
@@silly_.rabbit2 Miss Esther’s totally in on it- she probably tips him off about what house to go to, and he just spies on them until they rub the lamp. And then he just hoofs it over there as fast as possible
Okay this movie definitely is weird, but that scene of Charles smiling at the door was adorable and made me instantly love him. Also Danny's reenactment of that cracked me up lol ALSO also, I like to think those two Danny's went on to play the RE2 remake together as zombies.
This movie is so close to being good. The acting is good, there's real emotion, and the production isn't half bad. But the plot is just so bizarre that it lessens all of that. This movie is on the cusp of being good, but just can't quite make it.
There is one good thing about this movie. Stan has good character consistency. You know something will happen, and he will get angry, throw something and storm away.
Liz P they could have inherited from Stan or his wife's parents? The real estate prices where they live is not that bad? The wife actually makes good money?
If he's written successful books already he has passive income from the sales of those books. I'm guessing that a publisher wouldn't be bugging him to finish a book if it's his first one.
"At least I'm not a crazy dog guy. I've seen you at our practices talking to your dog" Honey, the man sits at a ball field watching a bunch of little girls. Talking to his dog is the least of his problems.
Ok I know this video is years old but the funeral scene is really crazy to me because deadass that's exactly what my grandpa's funeral was like. He was a quiet guy and I guess he didn't have many things that he was outwardly passionate about and so his wake and funeral were literally baseball themed
Grief is so difficult to process. When my boyfriend died… me, his mother and father, and brothers all handled it very differently. It’s been a year and half, and while I see his father occasionally he’s told me it hurts to be around me because it reminds me to much of his son. His mother and I grab coffee and catch up at least once a month. There were times in the first few months after he died that there was short tempers and lashing out, especially from his dad. I know the dad in this movie was an asshole, but having gone through a death myself I can understand it. He knows deep down how cruel he’s being but I know how it feels to be imprisoned in your own grief.
The funniest part of the scene where the dad comes back from the park without the dog is personally hilarious to me, because I know the continuity expert who worked on this movie and if he saw this video he would be mortified 😂
I have a theory that Sam and Charles are the same type of “Messenger” and it was initially Sam’s job to coach Stan and Charles’ job to coach Lisa (the lamp is actually not relevant at all to his appearing), which is why Charles disappeared when Stan came into the room initially. But Sam failed so hard at trying to convince Stan to move on that Charles decided he needed to appear to Stan and help him as well as Lisa
I like how they also gloss over the whole “youre a creepy old guy always watching our baseball games why “ and stan just is like “tHATS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” like how is that.. not their business
The flashback really implies that the dad took off the training wheels for the first time and then immediately just pushed him right into oncoming traffic, like the dad definitely killed the kid and it just doesn't say it outright
@@TheDonutMan3000 LMAO parenting is a learning experience. My dad taught me how to ride a bike in a not so busy street and I went face first into a mailbox.
Personally I don't think that the movie was THAT bad. Also as someone who witnessed a few times how families or a couple can get shattered after the loss of a child, I can say that the dad's attitude was pretty realistic. Especially if he blamed himself for his son's passing. Some people deal with events like this differently from others. And as someone pointed out in the comments, what he really needed was just some therapy to go over all this
Anybody worried that (since 2 years passed) Stan 1. Slept in his son's bed for 2 years 2. Didn't pay his credit card bill for 2 years 3. hasn't done the devil's tango in 2 years so the wife is probably having an affair
with the way Stan was acting, you'd think the son had died *last week*. I get that it's traumatic to see your young child die and that pain doesn't just go away, but I can't imagine how you get by for 2 years without paying your bills or getting any work done, not to mention he's still sleeping in his son's bed
I think it’s supposed to imply that Josh was abused by her parents/foster parents/ other trusted adults when she was younger. It’s a very out of nowhere line but it does make sense
It's so nice to know that they achieved money, a happy family, and rejuvenated their passion for their careers in 30 days without any actual help or therapy, you know just nice words and suddenly believing in themselves.
Danny after Lisa introduces Charles: You can't just introduce someone like that! Stan doesn't know who he is. Also Danny: (introduces Ms. Esther out of the blue as though we've met her before)
I'm SO glad someone said it. All of that is straight up abuse, especially just getting on your wife for trying to connect with you while you've been moping for two years, and actively ruining something she believes in. What a dick.
my personal headcanon abt charles is that he can only exist as a being within the physical realm while someone is like. wishing for something or whatever, so more or less he is summoned by the lamp and is only able to exist while someone needs him there, and that doesn’t happen often, so he doesn’t get too many opportunities to eat food because he doesn’t technically need to eat and where he resides between realities there’s no food or whatever. so he treats himself to a little snack while in the physical realm, it doesn’t have to be extravagant, it’s just a little treat for him. that or it’s just good toast have you ever had a good tasty slice of toasted bread with butter? heavenly.
Compared to many other “low budget” movies I have seen, this one seems relatively decent. It obviously has its weaknesses, however the ending, and the overall moral of this film seem pretty alright.
I legitimately thought the coach was gonna take his shirt off and give it to Stan. Like "well, if you're the coach now you get to wear the oversized blue pollo"
Name: Eddie Gender: Male Favorite color: baseball Favorite animal: baseball Age: baseball I rest my case Edit: thank you all for over 1,000 likes your too kind
red flag- indeed. Throwing something is the first step to abuse. Her flinching means he’s done it before or that she feels at risk of being harmed, absolutely abuse. It’s not okay and it makes me hate this movie.
Swindel I never said or implied that they intended for it to come across that way. In fact, them never addressing his temper tantrums is enabling of abusers whether they intended it or not:
Am I the only one who flinches all the time, just because? Like, I keep going through the comments saying the flinching is a red flag, so I guess I just flinch more than the average person lmao
i actually think this is a pretty interesting exploration of grief when you compare Stan's reaction to Lisa's. the abuse was messed up and i kind of wished they had gotten divorced to show that grief and trauma can really really change people
@@calowenby1654 Checking IMDB, this movie has a lot of folks who have been really good actors. I'm assuming everyone in this thing just needed a quick paycheck. Which I don't begrudge. They're being a lot more responsible with their finances than Stan.

Despite everything else, this is the best acting I’ve seen in a low budget film
And the fact that the movie wasn’t THAT bad it was ok
it really was, the couple argueing was a little too accurate. along with what greif can do to an already fragile person
it wasn't even low budget, they had $1M. They could afford real actors (L. Scott Caldwell was in LOST for Gods sake) but apparently not real writers.

I mean he is talking to a guy who vaguely knows him, but to him it’s just some random janitor who works everywhere for some reason
Ok I know this video is years old but the funeral scene is really crazy to me because deadass that's exactly what my grandpa's funeral was like. He was a quiet guy and I guess he didn't have many things that he was outwardly passionate about and so his wake and funeral were literally baseball themed
ps Love you Danny
that is so sweet

Wonderful Times it’s a promotion!
Oh my god it’s perfect
Grief is so difficult to process. When my boyfriend died… me, his mother and father, and brothers all handled it very differently. It’s been a year and half, and while I see his father occasionally he’s told me it hurts to be around me because it reminds me to much of his son. His mother and I grab coffee and catch up at least once a month. There were times in the first few months after he died that there was short tempers and lashing out, especially from his dad.
I know the dad in this movie was an asshole, but having gone through a death myself I can understand it. He knows deep down how cruel he’s being but I know how it feels to be imprisoned in your own grief.

oh ok, cool. not too long ago
*”8 years ago”*
.......oH okAy.
I swear 2009 was 4 years ago.

Are we sure 2011 was 8 years ago?!
Jeez
Stan is literally the most unlikable protagonist I ever seen
One word, Oscar
School days
Sierra Burgess is atleast the runner up though
I think the protags from loving the bad man and faith like potatoes r both worse :/
This movie sucks
The funniest part of the scene where the dad comes back from the park without the dog is personally hilarious to me, because I know the continuity expert who worked on this movie and if he saw this video he would be mortified 😂
Oh my god that's hilarious 😂
Charles is that one support unit nobody wants just "you guys got this believe in yourself".
He was offended because he wanted people to know that he wasn't a genie
He was a magical therapist
Underrated
he wants people to know he worked hard for that degree
Omg that makes so much sense. I wish I had a threapist that made house calls.
TED X speaker
magical marriage counseller
Stanley is literally the worst protagonist
Or is he?
OR ARE U
He’s literally more like an antagonist
He's that one side character with anger issues
No I am
I have a theory that Sam and Charles are the same type of “Messenger” and it was initially Sam’s job to coach Stan and Charles’ job to coach Lisa (the lamp is actually not relevant at all to his appearing), which is why Charles disappeared when Stan came into the room initially. But Sam failed so hard at trying to convince Stan to move on that Charles decided he needed to appear to Stan and help him as well as Lisa
The moral of the story: You CAN just take things that belong to other people!
I like how they also gloss over the whole “youre a creepy old guy always watching our baseball games why “ and stan just is like “tHATS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” like how is that.. not their business
Because it's still none of their business duh.

@moviemobster23 r/ihavereddit to you too.
Probably a trauma/neurodivergent thing but seeing every other character visibly flinch away when Stan gets angry legit sets off my fight or flight 👁👁
When Danny was like, “I bet you can’t guess how the kid died” I was like “he threw the kid in the street like he threw the training wheels!”
"You cannot just write a book of a thousand questions!"

LMAOOOO THIS IS UNDERRATED THIS GOT ME LOLOL😂😂

yeah, actually
We don’t use Mathbook in my class !!!!
@@eri83 Good job.
The flashback really implies that the dad took off the training wheels for the first time and then immediately just pushed him right into oncoming traffic, like the dad definitely killed the kid and it just doesn't say it outright
Ikr you don’t teach your kid how to ride a bike that close to a street. Go to a park dude...
That's what I thought! If I were teaching a kid to ride without training wheels I would hold onto the handle bars I wouldn't shove them in the road.
@@Whatareyoudoinnhere udbdosm

Hallelujah, not rainin' wheels
@@TheDonutMan3000 LMAO parenting is a learning experience. My dad taught me how to ride a bike in a not so busy street and I went face first into a mailbox.
Personally I don't think that the movie was THAT bad. Also as someone who witnessed a few times how families or a couple can get shattered after the loss of a child, I can say that the dad's attitude was pretty realistic. Especially if he blamed himself for his son's passing.
Some people deal with events like this differently from others. And as someone pointed out in the comments, what he really needed was just some therapy to go over all this
This movie might have been made in 2011, but it FEELS like a 90s movie
Even in the 90s this movie would be considered a retro movie
It's because of the baseball.
Why?
Lama nah this movie doesn’t have that kinda class let’s be honest this movie was made in 2003

14:31 at this point you'd think the lamp killed his kid
Anybody worried that (since 2 years passed) Stan
1. Slept in his son's bed for 2 years
2. Didn't pay his credit card bill for 2 years
3. hasn't done the devil's tango in 2 years so the wife is probably having an affair
THE DEVILSTANGO

The Devil's Tango? *Rawr.*
with the way Stan was acting, you'd think the son had died *last week*. I get that it's traumatic to see your young child die and that pain doesn't just go away, but I can't imagine how you get by for 2 years without paying your bills or getting any work done, not to mention he's still sleeping in his son's bed
that is so creepy, imagine playing baseball as a CHILD, and seeing an old man just staring at you.
That's.... completey normal. Have you ever went to a park as a child? That shit would be a horror movie to you.
@@scanbbb what do you mean..?
What if it was an old woman ?
Once I went to a public pool as a child and there was some dude just staring from outside the gate.
@@sunk1ss376 lol, it doesnt matter the gender, if ur going to a setting exclusive to children.. and u have no kids- instant creep
Hang on why did Josh say “they don’t hit people either”? What was that about? Stan seemed confused and horrified. What did that mean?!
I think it’s supposed to imply that Josh was abused by her parents/foster parents/ other trusted adults when she was younger. It’s a very out of nowhere line but it does make sense
@@bohemiancassidy no
Bro why was the genie actually such a whimsical old man? Like his smile made me happy
Lisa: Hi Stan.
Stanley: “I GOT TO GO!”
*I GOT... TO GO!!*
I GOT 👍👍TO GO!👍👍

The worst thing about this movie is that Stan doesn’t throw the lamp over his shoulder
Xap Ete shoulder
Xap Ete omg 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭 so true
Ahh yes, his soldier
Ikr lol 😂
Juan Melgar yep
It's so nice to know that they achieved money, a happy family, and rejuvenated their passion for their careers in 30 days without any actual help or therapy, you know just nice words and suddenly believing in themselves.
Danny after Lisa introduces Charles: You can't just introduce someone like that! Stan doesn't know who he is.
Also Danny: (introduces Ms. Esther out of the blue as though we've met her before)
Okay, this dude is just abusive. Like, I know that he lost his son, but his wife is okay and he needs to get his stuff together.
I'm SO glad someone said it. All of that is straight up abuse, especially just getting on your wife for trying to connect with you while you've been moping for two years, and actively ruining something she believes in.
What a dick.
I’ll be glad if they actually divorced and he never came back again.
Chill its just acting its a movie
Slasher Nebulous I don’t think anyone was questioning that.
Slasher Nebulous it makes it seem like this Behavior is normal and okay though
Movie*has 3 globes in the background*
Danny: woah so many globes
Danny:*has 15 nutcrackers in the background*
is 4 globes
my personal headcanon abt charles is that he can only exist as a being within the physical realm while someone is like. wishing for something or whatever, so more or less he is summoned by the lamp and is only able to exist while someone needs him there, and that doesn’t happen often, so he doesn’t get too many opportunities to eat food because he doesn’t technically need to eat and where he resides between realities there’s no food or whatever. so he treats himself to a little snack while in the physical realm, it doesn’t have to be extravagant, it’s just a little treat for him. that or it’s just good toast have you ever had a good tasty slice of toasted bread with butter? heavenly.
Compared to many other “low budget” movies I have seen, this one seems relatively decent. It obviously has its weaknesses, however the ending, and the overall moral of this film seem pretty alright.
What moral
@@pap-fryou CAN just take things that belong to other people
I legitimately thought the coach was gonna take his shirt off and give it to Stan. Like "well, if you're the coach now you get to wear the oversized blue pollo"

Sam was 100% written to be a guardian angel but it just ?? went unexplained
23:26 as an author, I can tell you no author is writing, editing and publishing a book in 30 days. 🤦♂️
Stan can throw everything behind him but the loss of his son
I-
And the oil lamp
Ouch.
Oof.
UNDERATED.
*Eddie in heaven:*
I miss my one red cowboy boot.
What about all three of his shirts?
@TearDrop Cipher
hm. Did not think about that!
I bet he cries every night because he uh... doesn’t have his three shirts 👕 ⚾️
Exactly, he probably missed his pants too wait... he doesn’t have any pants
MrPiggy9020
yeah... he didn’t wear pants only three shirts and a one red cowboy boot and a baseball hat and mitt.
*hell
The way Danny said “Stan stop!” Made me laugh way more than it should’ve.
This movie is what the Key and Peele "Magical Negro" sketch was about
Stan is literally checking all the boxes of an abusive husband. When Lisa flinched, that was a red sign.
red flag- indeed. Throwing something is the first step to abuse. Her flinching means he’s done it before or that she feels at risk of being harmed, absolutely abuse. It’s not okay and it makes me hate this movie.
@@jostewart3192 it's a terrible movie with bad actors I highly doubt they've added a domestic abuse undercurrent.
Swindel I never said or implied that they intended for it to come across that way. In fact, them never addressing his temper tantrums is enabling of abusers whether they intended it or not:
That's what death does to ya
Am I the only one who flinches all the time, just because? Like, I keep going through the comments saying the flinching is a red flag, so I guess I just flinch more than the average person lmao
how tf did stan just magically get rid of all of his abusive tendencies like 🧐🧐
I screeched at him
The wife wished he would get rid of them
He isn't alive, he died and is having his last moments in heaven before moving to hell for being abusive. Not true, but a thought to think.
"IDK, Jesus or genie magic or something"
_ the screenwriter
it’s called healing after going through a period of deep depression
22:18 *ATUHSPARGIGNARTA! I HEAR YOUR HEART BEAT!*
i actually think this is a pretty interesting exploration of grief when you compare Stan's reaction to Lisa's. the abuse was messed up and i kind of wished they had gotten divorced to show that grief and trauma can really really change people
To be fair, the man who plays Stan is not a bad actor, he played an abusive husband so well that he managed to make all of us despise him lol.
It still shocks me that he’s played by Pink from Dazed and Confused. I mean, I can see how they’re the same person, but still.
@@calowenby1654 Checking IMDB, this movie has a lot of folks who have been really good actors. I'm assuming everyone in this thing just needed a quick paycheck. Which I don't begrudge. They're being a lot more responsible with their finances than Stan.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, the guy looked quite convincing in almost every scene
Nobody cares but 1k is satisfying to press
@@Hollieanaaa you seem to care if you read the entire comment-
Eddie wouldn't have died if he had power balance bracelets.

Ok but personally I would be so mad if my wife sold our dead sons stuff without asking me
