History YMMV / LakeviewTerrace

* HilariousInHindsight: [[Film/DjangoUnchained This won't be the last time]] Creator/KerryWashington is terrorized by a racist Creator/SamuelLJackson.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was Abel only an authoritarian individual after his wife cheated on him and died in a car accident, or was he always authoritarian even before that aforementioned incident, the incident making him even worse than he already was?

* BrokenBase: Over the ending. [[spoiler:Some consider Abel's turn into being an attempted murderer to be unrealistic, making him into an easy villain and just overall being there for a climax, whilst others think that it makes sense given his growing antagonistic attitude towards Chris and Lisa]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Although this is the first time a racist Creator/SamuelLJackson terrorized Creator/KerryWashington and her husband, [[Film/DjangoUnchained it certainly wasn't the last]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** You don't need to be white to be a racist.
** You can be a racial harassment victim no matter what your skin color is.
** Some racists are not necessarily hateful towards skin color. Some racists hate interracial couples, which is just as BAD as any other sort of racism.
** Some racists will make hypocritical exceptions, such as Abel Turner, a racist against the idea of people having interracial sexual desires, enjoying the company of white strippers.
** Women can grope men, as shown by a female stripper groping the male protagonist.
** Abuse of a position of power is a thing.

* TooDumbToLive: The criminal Abel hired to trash the couple's house. Shall we recap? He's over six feet tall and weighs about 300 lbs and he was wearing a ski mask and yet thought it would be a good idea to grab Lisa and tell her "calm down" instead of hightailing it out of the house before anyone showed up? [[SarcasmMode Brilliant, sir.]]
** YourMileageMayVary, but Abel might count. It would make more sense if he tried to frame Chris or Lisa for something using his resources as a cop than simply convince a crook to break in and mess up their house. It's not very effective and, as the movie showed, it could backfire easily. All he had to do was wait until they left, plant some drugs, call in an anonymous tip, and they'd be sent to jail.
