1* FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler: Of course the Hospital Wedding would work! It [[{{Symbolism}} symbolizes]] what helped Joanna redeem herself over the years: her career as a nurse.]]
2* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Say what you will about [[spoiler: Joanna being EasilyForgiven, but there's [[FridgeBrilliance something meaningful]] about her second wedding to Will, a [[{{Foil}} juxtaposition]] between this wedding and the first. The first wedding was your typical wedding with all the usual fanfare, but doomed by bad blood from her highschool days (and then there was [[CringeComedy Todd]]). Here, Joana and Will are injured from the fall, but unbothered now that she's apologized for her past and they've rekindled their love. And she certainly wasn't expecting to have a wedding at the hospital, and thrown by [[{{Forgiveness}} Marnie]] no less. If anything, Joanna is much happier having her impromptu hospital wedding with a clear conscience, than she was when she had the "perfect" wedding haunted by unfinished business.]]
3* TearJerker: One particular scene with [[spoiler: Joanna's time capsule video being broadcast at the reception proves pretty gut-wrenching. It's a bitter blow for ''everyone'': Joanna is tearfully forced to face her [[IHatePastMe past as a cruel high school shrew ]], Marni's [[DarkAndTroubledPast old wounds]] are re-opened, her parents are shocked that their daughter was bullied under their noses, and Aunt Mona must watch her niece be humiliated. And if Will lividly unplugging the screen is any indication, he's not happy that the love of his life, the woman he almost welcomed into his family, ''bullied'' his [[BigBrotherInstinct beloved sister]] without him knowing.]]
4* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Many have noted that the plot of this movie was a gender flipped version of ''Film/MrWoodcock''. Both are about a former school loser finding out that a family member is marrying someone who tormented them during their childhood, so they try to sabotage the relationship and get the marriage called off.
5* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
6** Ramona. Unlike Joanna, Gail wasn't a bully and never did anything to intentionally hurt Ramona. All Gail ever did was put her best effort into everything she tried and came out on top. Ramona's resentment was just petty jealousy that she had no right to blame Gail for, and she had no reason to push her into the pool.
7** Likewise, her niece Joanna isn't exactly sympathized by the audience either. Although she [[IHatePastMe regrets]] her past, it feels a bit artificial that she's suddenly sorry for something she [[EvilFeelsGood took pleasure in]] at the time. The fact that Joanna makes several remarks specifically to remind Marnie of the past bullying makes this "regret" seem even more suspect. Some even voice the film shouldn't have ended with her marrying into the family if she and Marnie have [[DarkAndTroubledPast so much bad blood]] between them, or if Marnie's brother [[BigBrotherInstinct couldn't stand]] to marry someone who picked on his younger sister.
