* NotMeThisTime: It seems that the only real reason that Dave is considered to blame for Jeannie's wedding falling apart is because he's one of the usual suspects and is always with his brother. Nothing that went wrong, at the wedding at least, was directly and actively his fault: [[spoiler: The ATV thing was the girls, and Mike hit Jeannie; Dave had absolutely no part in the spa scene; Dave was trying to stop Mike from being a dick and only got into a fight because Mike wouldn't stop running at him; Alice was obviously the one who gave Jeannie the pills. The ONLY destructive thing he did the whole movie (outside of the other family events) was throw his suitcase at a TV after everything was already ruined.]] If anything, Dave came off as the InnocentBystander in this scenario.

The brothers are honestly thrown, asking where are "the epic tracking shots of smiling faces" they remember.
