* In ''Film/ASimpleFavor'', [[spoiler:Stephanie reveals she has a half-brother that she never knew about until their father died and he turned up at the funeral when they were both young adults. The two sat up and talked all night... and then just slipped into a HeldGaze that wasn't very sibling-like. She then admits to having kissed him, but Emily correctly guesses that they had sex. Possibly more than once -- the two had a relationship that was heated enough that Stephanie's husband figures out that the two are not just siblings. When he asks her, point-blank, who their son's father is, Stephanie's reaction implies she's not sure, herself. We never find out for certain.]]

* ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1090749/ Consent]]'': A dysfunctional family is plagued with grief after the suicide of the eldest daughter. The parents go about relieving their grief in all the wrong ways. Mostly by disconnecting from their own feelings, and ultimately, their own children. The younger sister Amanda looks for love in all the wrong places. Her emotional handicap creates a particularly awkward situation for her older brother Josh who finds himself on the receiving end of his sister’s misguided search for love. Josh, being the older brother, knows his sister's love for him is misguided and at one point rejects her advance, which upset her.

Since Ivy has had a complete hysterectomy (due to cervical cancer) and can't have children, it's implied that she and Charles still follow through on their plan to go to New York together.]]

* In ''Film/JoeDirt'', Joe realizes that a woman who is intensely attracted to him may be his long-lost sister, but because he's normally such a loser romantically, he doesn't tell her until ''after'' they have sex. Fortunately, it turns out her brother wasn't ''long''-lost, they found him again almost immediately, meaning she's not related to Joe. This means they can have sex again, but Joe can't get it up anymore - until they role play being brother and sister. In the present day setting of the movie, Joe then admits he made that last part up to gross out his listeners.
