  • Esoteric Happy Ending: Cristina is able to affirm to herself (and the Princeton advising committee) that she is her mother's daughter. All well and good, but... what about the Claskys' marriage? What about Cristina's immediate academic future and her relationship with her mother? Does Bernie ever come to terms, one way or another, with her weight? Will Evelyn stay on the wagon? What about Cristina and Flor's undocumented status?And, will Georgie stop having nightmares?
    • The shooting script removes the affirmation and reveals that John did indeed sleep with Flor (he did not in the theatrical version), making the story aim towards more of a Downer Ending.
  • He Really Can Act: Adam Sandler (rightly) gets a lot of shit for the choices he's made. This is a good movie and he does a good job in it.
