It was frustrating to watch. There were a number of unlikeable characters. I know Spielberg adored his mother, but her portrayal in the film made her seem too over the top silly and unstable. I thought for sure the film would reveal she had deep mental problems, but no. Also, there were a number of times a character 's actions/reactions seemed unrealistic, (like the bully who is upset because a film made him look good- really?!)
