5!!This film provides examples of:

12* FreeTheFrogs: Poor little Normal.
13* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Jacob gets out of [[spoiler:stabbing his friend with a compass]] by claiming the other kid, and indeed his entire school, is rabidly anti-Semetic. His parents respond by pulling him out of school and putting him in a Jewish school.

15* JewishAndNerdy: Esther and her brother are more Jewish and ''weird''
16* OhCrap: Esther, when she realizes that Jacob isn't joking about [[spoiler:stabbing his friend in the head with a compass]]
17* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Slug, the overweight girl with the umbrella (which she uses to fend off being splashed by juice at lunch time) [[spoiler:whom Esther essentially mugs for her raincoat]]
