Where did I say once that the storyline was cliche? I'm simply saying that these "jokes" are simply rehashed filler. I'm not being anal, I'm simply saying that THAT SCENE has been done before countless times. I'm not bitching about "oh boy, another coming of age story about a boy buying his first car". In fact I think that was the better done, more interesting part of the whole movie. It's now what they did that annoyed me, it's how they did it.
Plus, I didn't say it ruined the movie for me, the lack of character development in the later half of the film did that and they could have used this recycled scene as time to do that. It's like a comedian doing a joke about how bad food is on airplanes....how many times do we really need to hear what is essentially the same fucking joke?
