* {{Hypocrite}}: Ned winds up becoming this over the course of the movie. When he first finds out about his mother's relationship with Ron, one of his reasons for objecting is because Cary initially says she wants to move out of the house, and Ned fires back that he doesn't want to lose his childhood home. But later on, when he gets a promotion at his job, he winds up selling the house out from underneath his mother without her consent, which makes one wonder where his priorities really are.
