Added DiffLines:

* FaceDoodling: When Sam and Kat fall asleep on the couch one year, they wake up to find that their family has done this to them. Faint imprints of the writing as present in the following scene as evidently it didn't wash off sufficiently.
* FakeHigh: Sam and Kat get "drunk" on stolen rum cake as teenagers... which has no actual alcohol in it.

Other notables in the cast are Creator/LeaThompson as E.B., host to the annual Christmas parties, and Creator/ScottPatterson as Kat's father, Tom.

!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* TheAce: Rebekah speaks 11 different languages, is a translator at the United Nations, is beautiful, and still immediately puts the entire family at ease when they meet her.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When Kat tries to tell Rebekah that she's had people interested her in the past, it somehow segues into her describing it as having guys lined up one after another, coming in to land before she stops and admits that she's digging herself deeper.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Sam's full name is [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Samwise]], something he tries to downplay.
* PuppyLove: Kat and Sam meet at the age of 4, although falling in love takes longer.
* SpontaneousChoreography: At one point, to cheer up a recently jilted Kat, Sam starts dancing with her in what becomes an elaborately choreographed number. Amusingly, as other couples join in, they're more obviously dancing normally.
* UnusualEuphemism: A recurring joke involves reference to Ashley Kalb having "showed Sam her tractor" in high school.
* WithThisRing: A minor case. Sam drops the box under the table when he arrives. While searching for it, he overhears one of the kids using it to propose to one of the girls, and has to ask for it back.
