Who Do You Root For In Movies?

I was watching a Netflix movie the other day called Tallulah. 

The bare bones description is a girl steals a kid from a mother in NYC.

I'm not sure if I was supposed to be rooting for kidnapper, or the mother...

but I was rooting for the kidnapper!

Even in the end when the mother comes to her senses and truly misses her kid,

I was rooting for the kidnapper to be able to legally keep the kid. 

It makes me think about the How I Met Your Mother Episode, 

where Barney explains why he roots for the bad guys in every movie. 

Here are the quotes if you need to jog your memory :)

Director's Commentary ;)

When I watch an amazing movie, I love to re-watch it with director's commentary. I find that there is so much insight that you can reflect on when you hear what went into making the film.

Have you seen Bad Words? It just came out on Red Box and it's amazing. Sooooooo funny :) Not a lot of movies still have great bonus features but this one does :) I highly recommend watching it first without commentary, then again with it. Jason Bateman is hilarious ;)

Another great director's commentary is You've Got Mail.
