* NeverMyFault: Near the end of the movie, Corrine blames Olivia for turning her kids against her and exposing her, since she was the one who forced her to lock them in the attic in the first place. Apparently she forgot that ''she'' was the one who abandoned them after attempting to ''poison'' them.

* AdaptationExpansion: In the book, Cathy is far more central, with Chris and Carrie in supporting roles. This makes sense given the framing device of this being Cathy's memoir. In the movie that framing device is cut, and the Dollanganger siblings are on much more equal footing. This is accomplished by having Cathy's plotlines trimmed down, Carrie's left largely the same, and Chris's plumped up.
