It's been a long time since I saw this movie but I remember a scene where Stevie and his Dad are in a restaurant talking about school and Stevie basically tells him how he cheated his way through school BUT the Dad basically said "if you didn't care about school why did you make the effort into cheating" and to this day that scene still sticks w/ me to this day.

[@zach4627]

Love it too. It shows his dad truly knows his son. He doesn’t get mad that he cheated he reminds him u must care about your future if u wanted to pass.

[@MrWhateverfits]

That scene was one of the pivotal moments were Steveo is starting to really question being a punk and what its was all for.

Honestly his father comes across. As a super reasonable parent.

[@roblangada4516]

Yeah, his son is an entitled, spoiled piece of shit. His dad worked his ass off so he can live a life of luxury and have plenty of financial freedom to live out his phony "rebellion".

[@maxtew6521]

@@roblangada4516 This has been my major problem with the whole punk ethos that ate up my high school and college years -- a problem I only later recognized the weight of. The society I hated provided the stability for my father to work hard and provide for us. Nearing 40, I've learned personal responsibility accounts for the vast majority of the injustices I used to gripe about. Still they've got some dang good music.

[@willyk-fv6ok]

He also "bought in" at the end of the movie

[@septickittens2040]

My son just turned 18 and I gave him a kind of reverse version of this speech. Youthful rebellion is a pipe dream. I was a rebellious SLC rivethead in my youth, and even I saw the irony in the movie when it came out. HIs parents were way cooler than my conservative LDS parents too

[@mjaada]

Matthew Lillard could totally play the dad now

[@septickittens2040]

I thought he did play the dad in the sequel

[@furukawastudios]

He basically did!! In a very tongue-planted-(firmly)-in-cheek "nod" in film he directed called: "Fat Kid Rules the World" (based off the book of the same name) which has a similar tone

[@georgewilliamson5667]

I love that no matter how much of a sellout/dork/whatever you want to call him he is, Stevo's dad is actually really supportive of whatever it is that Stevo does. Even if he doesnt fully understand how Stevo thinks of things, its clear that he actually loves and cares about his son, and both wants his son to do what's best for himself and also do something that will better his life.

[@andrewcook1246]

Thats why when Bob and Trish told him the girl they were gonna introduce him to at her party was a rich girl, he very self-awarely says he's a rich boy too. With a little disdain but fully aware that his parents gave him plenty of love support and freedom to prove them right in the end.

[@georgewilliamson5667]

@@andrewcook1246 Yeah. Things like that are what makes this such an awesome movie, with this being a really big part of it. It doesnt diminish the plight of the many poor friends who Stevo has, shows that rich people can have very real and meaningful solidarity with their poor friends, while also not demonizing rich people either by showing that Stevos parents actually love and support him, even if they dont quite get what he is doing. It does a great job of humanizing all of its characters, regardless of what their background is, and especially making a point about how all of us regardless of background can make a difference. This is especially true because Stevo is our protagonist. By having him be a rich kid from a rich family, it makes a great point how everyone can see the same issues, and also how oppression is not jus the plight of the poor, we just have different resources in how we fight against that oppression, with Stevo eventually recognizing what his position in society is and being able to take his experiences hanging out with the marginalized members of society and be able to translate that understanding into him using his law degree to fight the system from the inside.

[@bjarczyk]

I think it’s arguable that he actually does understand how Steve o thinks of things. It’s been 24 years since I first saw this film and I love the writing even more at this age! Brilliant.

[@JazzyUte]

"They're not going to get this in New York..." It's such a good line considering how significant the punk scene was in New York, especially compared to 1980s UTAH lmao

[@dr.loomis4221]

[@e.paradigm7415]

Haha, same!

[@Jaybodian]

I wish someone would upload the car scene he had with his dad. This scene and the car scene really shows even with their disagreements Stevo and his dad have a great relationship. Like his father is happy that Stevo has all these opinions but feels like he's doing nothing with it. Yeah he's not a fan of how he's dress or the fact he rejected Harvard, but he's super supportive of Stevo, and Stevo doesn't even act out that much either. The one moment I loved is as they're talking, his dad brings up how well Stevo did in school, and Stevo says he "cheated" through school, his did sees through that bullshit and goes "ok why cheat if you didn't care about your grades"

[@AlwaysAC]

I suppose that’s part of the point. Because at the end of the film he ‘buys in’ and turns out he was kinda a poser all along without knowing, the real punks wouldn’t have the option to buy in like he does

This scene out of context doesn't really represent the movie. Stevo in the movie is 4 years after this, he's toned down. His dad is a lot more relaxed about his son's personality. they have a relaxed relationship with easy banter. Also, Stevo somehow never turned into a burnout he graduated from college with a money earning degree.

[@ilciairi]

Hi English speakers! I'm quite good at English but sometimes is difficult for me to understand all the words (I'm from Cagliari, Sardinia and in my island, and more in general in Italy, English is not taken in consideration a lot... Also, I can't speak to anyone and my ears are not well trained) ... Subtitles are often wrong... And people speak terribly fast! At the beginning, the movie subtitles say "My father was hell-bent on getting me to go to Harvard Law School, like he did"... but I hear something a bit different at the end of the sentence, and not "like he did"... It would seem "... like he'd when he was a kid..." but I'm not sure of the sound and this expression, "he'd", is odd (I don't think I can contract "did" with "'d")... Can you help me, please? :)

[@alexisnaranjo]

he'd is an abbreviation of He Had/Did. It's improper English but is used in speech rather than it would be used in text. example I'd've never used its' drugs had i'da known the cop stuffed it'd up it's asshole......... All that would be something said phonetically rather than written as such. Unless.... I use " " quotation marks to imply that is EXACTLY what was said.

[@ilciairi666]

Shooter McGavin is an awesome dad. I was totally Steve and Bob as a teenager but now as an adult I feel like those views were totally ridiculous and finally grew up and the only way to beat and bring down the system is by being educated and in it, like Steve-o at the end of the movie.

You know...I just had an interesting thought about the sequel. They could've had Stevo return. Imagine if you will if Ross (aka Heroine Bob and Trish's son) towards the end of the movie was arrested for attempted murder or something. They had to do something, so Sean and Trish reached out and got a hold of Stevo who is not a hotshot attorney in New York. Ross doesn't know who his attorney is until he comes in and introduces himself. At the end when he gets the kid cleared of his crimes, maybe have him pass on his razorblade necklace or something.
