Merging examples from duplicate page The Night Shift 2007
* CerebusSyndrome: At the start it's a sitcom about some guys working at a gas station with a horrible boss. The second series has [[RapeAsDrama rape]] and [[AccidentalMurder murder]], ''not'' played for laughs. The third takes place in prison. The movie's main plot is a full-blown exploration of how abused children go on to abuse ''their'' children, the lasting consequences of such abuse, and how the characters find themselves in life. It never stops being funny and the characters had depth from the beginning, but the focus shifts considerably towards the drama side.
* CharacterTitle: The movie is called ''Bjarnfreðarson'', referring to Georg's last name. Notably, last names in Icelandic aren't used the way last names in English are, so the use of his last name (a matronym) symbolizes the way that Georg is defined by being the son of his mother.

There is also a feature-length follow-up movie ''Bjarnfreðarson'' which, on its opening weekend, proved more popular in Iceland than ''Film/{{Avatar}}''.
