* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/KevinSpacey is on the naughty list? You don't say!?
* JerkassWoobie: Fred. For ''most of his life'', he's had to deal with his parents constantly telling him to be more like his brother, even though he was already kindhearted -- he gets told off for getting upset that his brother just gave away the present he'd clearly put a lot of work and thought into, and without so much as a thought towards the effort he put into it.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JeffreyDeanMorgan as the guy getting a parking ticket.
* TheWoobie: Nick. He is burdened and stressed by everything throughout the entire movie, and he's just so ''broken'' by it all near the end before the happy ending transpires.
