Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.
Deleted line(s) 6 (click to see context) :
* AmbiguousDisorder: Barry does not seem to have a formal diagnosis, but shows poor social skills, acute anxiety and aggressive outbursts. Normally he's shy and reserved, but he sometimes gets extremely upset at certain emotional stimuli. He has tremendous difficulty staying calm whenever his sisters go too far in teasing him and wears the same blue suit throughout the entire film, which spans roughly a week.

A sweet-natured but socially inept man. He deals with a lot of anxiety caused by his sisters but that all changes when he means Lena.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: Barry does not seem to have a formal diagnosis, but shows poor social skills, acute anxiety and aggressive outbursts. Normally he's shy and reserved, but he sometimes gets extremely upset at certain emotional stimuli. He has tremendous difficulty staying calm whenever his sisters go too far in teasing him and wears the same blue suit throughout the entire film, which spans roughly a week.
* ApologisesALot: Barry, and frequently when he's not even done anything wrong.
* BadLiar: Barry. And he tells a lot of them (specifically when he has done something embarrassing).
* BerserkButton:
** Barry goes into a rage whenever anyone, usually his sisters, bring up the time he threw the hammer through the door.
** It gets pushed again when Lena is injured in a car accident by Dean's thugs—[[TookALevelInBadass only this time Barry channels his anger into fending them off]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Barry is fundamentally a really sweet-natured and caring person but he is capable of some truly frightening displays of rage and aggression.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Barry is lonely, socially awkward, plagued with self-doubt, and gets horribly upset at the drop of a hat. Through the events of the film, he works towards overcoming these issues while fending off a gang of con artists.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: A borderline-PsychopathicManchild as played by Adam Sandler for most of his career isn't a cool fratboy to be friends with InUniverse, or even someone that is funny to behold -- he's outright terrifying and at best still [[WhatTheHellHero makes one bellow out a "what the FUCK is wrong with you?!?"]]
* NiceGuy: All his mental issues aside, Barry is a sweet-natured and caring person.
* ThePowerOfLove: Enables Barry to become a total badass.
* PsychopathicManchild: Barry is far from a bad person but it is clear that he has unresolved emotional problems that cause him to lose his temper. One of the movie's primary themes is demonstrating that in real life, this kind of typical early Adam Sandler character would make you fear for your life.
* TookALevelInBadass: Barry in his second run-in with the Mattress Man's gang. [[ThePowerOfLove Lena getting injured might have something to do with it]].

[[folder: Lena Leonard]]
A kind-hearted woman turns Barry's life around.
----
* CannotSpitItOut: Lena has to take the initiative. A lot.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: Part of why Lena seems so besotted with Barry is that he's so helpless. Lampshaded by the soundtrack with the song "He Needs Me."
* NiceGirl: Lena is extremely kind, nice, and loving.

[[folder: Dean]]
Also known as The Mattress Man. He is the BigBad of the film.
----
* BigBad: Dean "The Mattress Man" Trumbell arguably acts as one for Barry, with his threats and attempted extortion of Barry jeopardizing his relationship with Lena and providing much of the tension in the movie.
* BullyingADragon:
** The Mattress Man threatens Barry over the phone, [[spoiler:AFTER knowing Barry has dealt with the brothers single-handedly]], clearly not expecting to ever have to confront him in person. [[OhCrap He does.]]
* DirtyCoward: Dean, the Mattress Man, is very full of himself over the phone and when he has his mooks around. When Barry has him cornered, he reveals himself to be a slimy, pathetic coward.
* EvilCounterpart: He has serious anger issues just like Barry.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He calls Barry a "pervert" which is hypocritical for a guy who runs a call-girl service, the one that ''Barry'' called in the first place.
* {{Jerkass))
* PaperTiger: Dean, the Mattress Man. He's tough and threatening when surrounded by and working through his mooks, and even keeps his smirk as he's acceding to Barry's demands to leave him alone. But when he decides to get the last word in, and Barry doesn't react well, he basically folds:
-->'''Dean:''' Now get the fuck outta here, pervert!\\
'''Barry:''' ''(starts to walk towards Dean, pointing at him)'' ''Didn't I warn you?!''\\
* SmugSnake: The Mattress Man. Likewise, the Four Blonde Brothers have insufferable smirks whenever they deal with Barry, and even when assaulting him it's clear they don't take him seriously. [[spoiler: They [[CurbStompBattle painfully]] learn what a mistake this is.]]
