You won't believe this mum's extreme contract her son had to sign to watch Pitch Perfect 2
Blogger posts the measures her son must undertake to be permitted to see the film
All parents know the power of conditions, but one mum's taken it all a bit far with a contract for her kid - in return for a cinema trip.
Mum blogger Glennon Doyle Melton posted on Facebook the measures which her son Chase must undertake in order to be allowed to see Pitch Perfect 2.
She explained that she was out of town when he asked to see the film, sequel to the massively popular 2012 box office hit, and decided that he was allowed to see it but as long as it was "as a critic, not as a blind consumer".
She wrote on the post: "I texted him a picture of this contract I wrote up and made him agree to it before he went to the movie.
"I could feel his eyes rolling all the way across the country."
In full, the contract Chase was sent to reads: "Chase,
"You may see Pitch Perfect 2 under these conditions: By Wednesday you will deliver to me a 2 page essay which will be your response to the movie. Your response will answer the following questions:
1. What is this movie's message about sex? 2. What is this movie's message about women's bodies? (In particular about being overweight? Are any of these messages sexist?) 3. Is there any racism in this movie? What scenes? 4. Are there any messages in this movie about love, friendships, or careers that are positive? 5. Would you recommend this movie to your sisters? Why or why not?
So, you can see this movie- but only as a critic, not as a blind consumer. You in? Love, Mama
For Chase, We Pray."
Although Chase's response is not recorded, his mum seems to think it was a success.
"He agreed, and he wrote his critique — and it started some cool family conversations."
