| 1 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Made just $4.4 million against a $10 million budget. |
| 2 | * TheCastShowoff: Creator/MaddieZiegler is a well-known dancer and her character Christina dances for the school talent show. |
| 3 | * PlayingWithCharacterType: Naomi Watts often plays a lot of MamaBear types or else competent, independent women. Here she starts out as a ditzy slacker who eventually matures into her usual type. |

| 5 | * StarDerailingRole: The film's huge failure incredibly derailed Naomi Watts's film career, who has now since then did low budget direct-to-DVD flicks and television roles after her film career start going down the drain in the early 2010s, with ''Film/DreamHouse'', ''Diana'', ''The Prodigies'', ''WesternAnimation/TopCatTheMovie'', ''Film/Movie43'', ''Film/TheSeaOfTrees'', ''Film/TheDivergentSeriesInsurgent'', its sequel ''[[Film/TheDivergentSeriesAllegiant Allegiant]]'', and ''Film/ShutIn'' becoming huge critical and commercial failures for Watts's film career during the 2010s, despite her acclaimed performances in ''Film/BirdmanOrTheUnexpectedVirtueOfIgnorance'', ''Film/JEdgar'' and ''Film/TheImpossible'' were both critical and commercial successes, making her in recent years one of the 2000s actors who flopped in the 2010s as a laughing stock. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: An earlier version of the script was a straight BlackComedy, which Trevorrow did not wish to make. |
