Tropes for the film:

  • Goo Goo Getup: When asked to be put in a commercial with her siblings, Jamie was put in an oversized diaper and bonnet, leaving her to quit as there wasn't another part for her.
  • Massive Numbered Siblings: Jamie has to adjust to no longer being an only child after her mom gives birth to quintuplets.
  • One-Word Title: Quints.
  • Practically Different Generations: Jamie is fourteen years old when her mother gives birth to her five siblings.
  • Tagline: "As if life at 14 isn't twisted enough!".
  • Too Many Babies: Jamie gets five younger siblings at one shot and has to help take care of them.
  • Unreliable Narrator: Jamie often tells the viewer such lies as her living close to the Statue of Liberty and winning a shower of money, but she immediately retracts each one.
