* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Both Teri and Miles' arguments about his career are correct. On the one hand, Teri is already stressed out working hellish hours and being the financial support for the majority of the family's needs, so Miles wanting to drop being an attorney to pursue something that is far less lucrative and is risky comes across as selfish and irresponsible. However, Miles is clearly unhappy being an attorney and wants to do the thing he loves with all his heart, and that's not an unreasonabel thing to want at all, especially since we see is a talented piano player and singer. The problem is that their already cold marriage gets even icier when he decides to quit his job and become a musician and singer full time against Teri's wishes. This puts an even bigger strain on Teri's pocketbook and on the marriage in general, and then [[ToxicFriendInfluence along comes Faith...]]

* BigScrewedUpFamily: It's certainly not as toxic as some other fictional families, but there are definitely big problems. Teri and Maxine do ''not'' get along since Maxine stole Kenny from Teri when they were teens, so the resentment between them only grew over time, especially since Kenny and Maxine, of the three daughters, have the most healthy and happy relationship. Teri and Miles' marriage is extremely unhappy due to Teri being a workaholic and cold to her husband's dreams of becoming a singer slash musician. It comes to a head when their cousin Faith returns to town and after she and Miles bond over music (she's a dancer), they [[spoiler: sleep together and Teri sees them, opting not to confront them since Ahmaud was with her at the time.]] Bird and Lem start off with issues when his slutty ex shows up to his ''wedding'' and proceeds to hike up her already too-short dress and ''grind'' on him ''in front of his entire new family'' and Lem doesn't see a problem with it, grinding on her right back. It almost causes Teri, Bird, and Teri to go out there and whup the ex's ass, but lucky for her, Big Mama is implied to have sent her away and is dancing with Lem when the girls return for a confrontation. Their Uncle Pete is senile and never leaves his room [[spoiler: until the end of the movie after Big Mama Jo has died.]] All in all, they love each other, but there are problems everywhere.
