So I get that the mom was on edge, because she's been having a lot of bad things happen in her life.... she was assaulted in college, and more recently was attacked at her salon.
However, this movie drives me bonkers because the mom acts deranged about her daughter's boyfriend for the first half of the movie. I get that it would be off putting to find out your 18 year old daughter is dating a 38 year old man. However, without knowing anything is amiss about the boyfriend, the mom goes crazy stalker - sneaking around at the restaurant, tracking her phone, and then shows up at the guy's house, goes inside and then PHYSICALLY ASSAULTS him. Just because he is 38 and is dating her 18 year old daughter. Listen, I would be concerned if my 18 year old was dating someone twice their age. However, it happens. It is not illegal. Eighteen is an adult. I remember at college, there was always a couple first year students who dated older men. Gross? Absolutely. Worth an intervention? Uh, no.
It was not until hour 1:07 of the movie that the guy went psycho on her - by grabbing her neck and making a crazy threat. Although i note that this was in fact in response to the mom taking a swing at him. So for the first hour of the movie, the mom is acting this deranged solely because her daughter is dating a 38 year old man. Anyhow, rant over...
Separately, the daughter is unbearable in this movie.
