* HarsherInHindsight: At one point, Gwen states a throwaway line about how much society hates someone who would leave a child in a car all day to get drunk. Given the rise of hot car deaths in the years since this film came out (the majority of which happened out of forgetfulness instead of spite or selfishness), it puts a sad, cruel irony to her comment.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Despite this movie coming out first, watching Creator/DominicWest being stupidly drunk is nothing new to fans of his better known work ''Series/TheWire''.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: There's a shot of the Twin Towers, making it clear that the movie was released one year before 9/11.
