| 1 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Dawn. She's either [[TheWoobie a straight up woobie]], a JerkassWoobie or even suffering from a lot of DeusAngstMachina. It helps that the film suffers a lot from TooBleakStoppedCaring. |
| 2 | * DesignatedHero: If Dawn made more of an effort to actually improve her life, this would be a different film entirely. Though it seems like it was already too late by the ''beginning'' of the film. |
| 3 | * JerkassWoobie: |
| 4 | ** Again, Dawn herself. This is according to cynical interpretations and point of view. |
| 5 | ** Brandon also comes across as a jerkass woobie as the film goes on. |
| 6 | * HilariousInHindsight: Throughout the film, Dawn is taunted with being a lesbian. Years later, Creator/HeatherMatarazzo (who played Dawn) came out as a lesbian. Even better. In interviews, she points out she didn't know what "lesbo" meant, so she asked someone on the set. That is when she figured out she was a lesbian. |
| 7 | * HollywoodHomely: If not for her demeanor, Dawn could pass as pretty cute in an {{adorkable}} way. |
| 8 | * MisaimedFandom: Brandon has some female fans. |
| 9 | * ValuesDissonance: Dawn being bullied for allegedly being a lesbian. Not only would this be considered hate speech today (which is typically a big no-no at schools), but most junior-highschool kids today would probably react to the knowledge that a girl was a lesbian with a "yeah, so?" |
| 10 | %%* TheWoobie: Dawn. |
