* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Are Jonah's shenanigans the attempt of a grieving son to prevent his mother's "replacement" (as his father believes) or sincerely motivated by an affinity with Annie? Basic logic favors the former interpretation, but Jonah is proven ''completely right'' by the end of the movie, and goes to incredible lengths to make Annie/Sam happen.

Basic logic favors the former interpretation, but Jonah is proven ''completely right'' by the end of the movie, and goes to incredible lengths to make Annie/Sam happen. One could also argue he doesn't want to have his father settle for just any replacement but rather a woman who is right for him - after all, he reads Annie's letter and gets a good vibe from her.
* MemeticPsychopath: Due to the stalking and wanting to leave her fiance to pursue a man she barely knows, Annie gets this a lot from viewers.

* RonTheDeathEater: Annie is often imagined as a spiteful, ungrateful harpy who breaks Walter's heart and "dumps" him for a guy she's never met. In fact, Annie goes on about how crazy her feelings for the idea of Sam are, and she's called on her unrealistic expectations by other characters. Her and Walter's breakup is actually a mutual one, where Annie herself is the one who was keen to marry him anyway, and he realised it wasn't going to work.

** Annie and Walter's breakup, for how amicable it is. Walter graciously says "I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for". There's no fight, there's no crying, just honesty about how they aren't in love enough to be married.
