* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Despite the young cast, the film is clearly not intended for a young audience in mind as is obvious by the R-rating, frequent profanity and in general family-unfriendly behavior. Despite all this, reports are that it managed to get shown in quite a few high school and even religion classes.

** For those who're used to Josh Peck's performance in Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} TV series ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'', it's impossible to see George without overlapping him with Josh's character in that one. This leads to many, many bits of unintentional hilarity, such as regarding this film as the grand finale of ''Drake & Josh'', or chattering quotes like "Only one person to blame... MEGAN!".

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: George's death]] doesn't cross it, that was just an accident. However Marty crosses it when he makes them [[spoiler: bury the body and pretend it never happened]] as well as threatening them not to come clean. Granted, it was because Marty was scared he and the others would be thrown in prison and that no one would believe them, but still.

* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler:George's death]] is likely to haunt the viewer(s) for a long time, especially with the high levels of natural fears.
** [[spoiler:Seeing him struggling to stay afloat and screaming for help is really jarring to watch, especially since the rest of the kids on the boat just stand there and watch in horror...]]
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JoshPeck, very soon to become the funnyman on kids' show ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'', stars as George. His performance, especially his ClusterFBomb rant, can be incredibly jarring to teenagers nowadays.
