Angry old reactionary man who constantly complains about lattes and hybrid cars makes friends with young hippy idiots whom he berates the entire movie while teaching them how to be a 'real adult' but also they end up bonding because he secretly has a heart of gold or some shit.
If I wanted to hear a self important chud boomer make snide remarks for 2 hours I'd visit my parents.
The fantasy of every liberal is to get the begrudging approval of a reactionary. Even more so if they're an older man.
I can't think of an equivalent of this with an older woman.
They need to believe that chuds are good at heart, especially if they are related.
