Toast: The WEIRDEST Movie EVER

So after I got done watching this really overly dramatic movie called the Breakfast Club, I happened upon a movie called TOAST. Not joking, that's what it was called. Anyway...

THE WEIRDEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN

So I didn't see it from the beginning but this kid's mother had died and she had cooked everything for them. So then this boy's dad, the kid's name is Nigel and they are all British, tries to make food but it's super gross and not even cooked. Nigel really does love his father and tries to make something for him. Later on his father hires a new cleaner. *p.s. this is in like 1960s, 1950s*

This new cleaner gradually becomes more 'present' throughout her time there and eventually starts cooking for the family. The cleaner's name is Mrs. Potter. Nigel can see that his father is getting more, and more attached to this woman who was clearly trying to become his mother and move her way in. She successfully does this when they move out into the country to keep her away from her angry husband. She's still their 'cleaner' in a way. But she continually cooks and cleans and sees this as her only way of staying apart of the family. Nigel's mother was the cooker. So Nigel grows up, (rather rapidly too, and you will get this joke if you've seen the movie) and in school joins home ec, where he learns to cook. Very, very well. When he tries to cook for his father, Mrs. Potter steps in. They have this huge battle over lemon meringue, which is generally hard to make, and he has to make his own recipe, and when he finally completes it, his father won't even try it. Then Nigel's father and Mrs. Potter get married. Mrs. Potter and Nigel's battles slowly grow to the point of getting into Nigel's father's head.

Later on, finally realizing that his father won't ever try is food, he gets a part time job in a restaurant in town. Where he meets someone. They take a walk and then eventually kiss. Cute, despite the fact that I did NOT see it coming since it was a GUY!!!! It was just so surprising....

When he gets home after his little rendezvous, he finds out that his father died of a heart attack. (from all those sweets) Mrs. Potter tries to say it will just be us now, but Nigel thinks nothing of this and starts packing. On his way out Mrs. Potter begs him not to go, and all he says to her is Thank You, leaving her to shout at him 'What do ya mean 'Thank You!?!' He leaves and goes to a city where he gets a job from this guy who happened to be eating toast.

Weirdest. Thing. Ever. And THEN when I was just watching the credits it shows a picture of an ACTUAL GUY and says, 'He then went on to become a national food critic and never saw Mrs. Potter again.'

So it was a documentary....and I didn't have the slightest. Idea. At. All. That was the biggest surprise. That it was ALL. TRUE.

Sope, that was one weird as hez movie! Hope you weren't freaked out too much! BYE!
