* 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.

Fan Myopia. And if it's in a dark and twisted way, it would be considered Harsher, not Hilarious.

** In a dark and sick way, this movie plays out in pretty much the same way Meg Griffin's life would on the later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

* 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?"

* DesignatedVillain: Missy, who's only crime is being TheAce and making Dawn jealous. The only mean thing she does in the movie is pushing dawn into a wading pool.

There doesn't seem to be any real explanation for how she's a Villain Protagonist or on the way to becoming one. Not to mention Palindromes and Wiener Dog depict two different futures for Dawn, neither of which imply she turned to villainy.


* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain[=/=]VillainProtagonist: ''Dawn'' herself could be interpreted to be on her way to becoming a bad girl herself, depending on how you see it.
