- Harsher in Hindsight: Kevin Spacey is on the naughty list? You don't say!?
- Jerkass Woobie: Fred. For most of his life, he's had to deal with his parents constantly telling him to be more like his brother, even though he was already kindhearted — he gets told off for getting upset that his brother just gave away the present he'd clearly put a lot of work and thought into, and without so much as a thought towards the effort he put into it.
- Retroactive Recognition: Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the guy getting a parking ticket.
- The Woobie: Nick. He is burdened and stressed by everything throughout the entire movie, and he's just so broken by it all near the end before the happy ending transpires.
