* AdaptationalComicRelief: While Carl is a terrible, abusive boyfriend/stepfather in both the book and the movie, he is a very serious and relatively realistic portrayal of an abusive spouse in the book. The movie makes him more of a comical jerk. Notably, his cruelest action in the book ([[spoiler:hitting Rafe's mom in a fit of rage]]) is omitted from the movie.

The movie makes him more of a comical jerk. He's still an egotistical bully, but most of his actions are PlayedForLaughs.
