* HilariousInHindsight: When Melanie meets up with Bobby Ray for the first time in the film, she inquires about his high school girlfriend, claiming they were "hot and heavy" back in the day. Bobby Ray makes a reference to her [[GayEuphemism "coaching softball"]] out of state, and seems to imply that she's a LesbianJock. This is, of course, hilarious after TheReveal that Bobby Ray ''himself'' is gay, and you realize he and his "hot and heavy" girlfriend were likely overcompensating as TheBeard for each other.

* FanPreferredCutContent: Fans tend to like most (although not all) of the deleted scenes that introduce Erin (a character who plays a notable role in the ending montage) and show Melanie interacting with Jake's mother and expressing more regret for her AlcoholInducedIdiocy. The consensus is that they aren't quite great, but could have added a little to the movie.

Don't go out and find your own place and way of life - it will just make you sad and the only place you can be happy is your good old home anyway. That goes especially for you ladies - you only want a career because your stupid husband can't provide. Once he becomes a reliable source of income and security, you will be totally happy to ditch your own life and career and be a nice housewife and mother for his brats. Yuck."
** They obviously failed to pay attention to the mid-credits sequence in which it's shown that Melanie is still a successful designer in NYC in addition to having a family.

This is especially obvious with the implication of Melanie's fiance being a Democrat and not to her southern parents' liking (Republicans being the dominant party in most of the South) and a more positive/sympathetic portrayal of Rebel culture down to a ''Confederate flag'' pillow being seen in Melanie's parents' home, the flag itself having become controversial due to recent violent events and it's historical implications. Surprisingly, it manages to be a bit progressive with the appearance of a gay character everyone is comfortable with, something that is still looked down upon in most Southern communities.
