* UnluckyExtra: The poor old man in the wheelchair. Every time he is on screen, he somehow gets pushed into the water. You think he would put on his parking brake, or have someone park him in a less precarious spot.

!!This film provides examples of:
* BackToBackPoster: Used in the posters, featuring Creator/SteveMartin and Creator/EugeneLevy standing back-to-back. One poster features the two men holding water guns with their respective broods standing behind them, while another features a close-up of the two men holding photos of their children up to the camera. Martin and Levy are playing fathers of rival families at a competition, and the competitiveness of the two fathers is apparent in these posters.
* CallBack: When he gets fed up with Jimmy, Tom asks Sarah if she's still "in touch with [her] dark talents." She sets up the same meat trick she pulled in the first movie.
* DemotedToExtra: Mark. He was ''the'' main character, aside from the parents, in the first movie, but is barely in this one.
* DisasterDominoes: The destruction of the clam bake. It all starts when Mark absentmindedly sets his backpack full of fireworks next to an open flame.
* EmptyNest: Tom is hit with a bit of this at the beginning. Lorraine has graduated high school about to join Charlie and Nora in moving out. Meanwhile, most of younger kids have aged to the point they can be more independent and want to socialize with their peers instead of the family.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Mark never even mentions his frog.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Lorraine and Sarah have entered this even deeper than in the first film.
* HiddenDepths: Sarina is initially presented as Jimmy's DumbBlonde trophy wife, but she truly wants to be a good mother to her stepkids. When she sees the wedge that Jimmy's pressuring and obsession with upping Tom is driving between himself and his kids, she sets him straight.
* LotsOfLuggage: When Lorraine shows up at the cabin, Sarah keeps jabbing at her for her huge suitcase. "So is this one just for your makeup?"
%%* NauticalKnockout: This happens to Tom.
%%* PutOnABus: All the supporting cast.
* StealthPun: Nora has her baby on ''Labor'' Day.
%%* TrophyWife: Sarina, Jimmy's new wife of "six wonderful months."
%%* UglyGuyHotWife: Jimmy Murtaugh and his new trophy wife, Sarina.
* UnluckyExtra: The poor old man in the wheelchair. Every time he is on screen, he somehow gets pushed into the water. You think he would put on his parking brake, or have someone park him in a less precarious spot.
