    Sucked. They didn't really do anything that was a family dynamic thing aside from comedy elements, so when they were thretened by Rampage there was no real emotional attachment. They're constantly portrayed as the jokes themselves and meant to be ridiculed, so having scenes with pathos don't really work for them.

    The way to make an audience care for joke characters is to make them endearing, but Sam's parents were never that.

    the movie does not earn that moment at all but that actor is so great that that scene gets me teary eyed every time. I genuinely feel like he’s about to lose his son

    In small doses, and when not going overboard with 'wacky hijinks'.

    They're annoying but they actually have moments that I found amusing.

    I like them more than their son honestly. :lol

    I had no problem with Ron, but Judy was annoying. I wonder if the movies would have been better off it was just Sam and Ron, with Judy being out of the picture for whatever reason.

    Yeah man. My favorite scene was that prolonged and in no way agonizing "Sam's happy time" bit. Way better than Sparkplug.

    I think it's more that Bay thinks they're hilarious and therefore thinks the audience thinks they're hilarious (among all the other useless comic relief humans in this franchise) so he keeps putting them/more in.

    The desert scene always puzzled me because whoever brought the parents into a warzone... WHY DID YOU BRING THEM TO A WARZONE? There was literally anywhere else you could've left them before joining the battle but you bring them here? This conversation should've happened before Sam had to go to the desert so at least the parents would be safe.

    Because a decepticon kidnapped them in paris and took them to egypt. Rampage dumped them out there to use as bait in a trap for sam. That's why thry were in the desert. Notice how they quickly dissapeared to safety?

    Did...did you watch the movie? They were kidnapped...to blackmail Sam. Sorta a major "plot" point.
