Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Both Lauren and Jim: Jim for treating his girls like most fathers would treat boys, Lauren for being overprotective and overly affectionate. | |

Ironic Echo | |
Blended / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: Hillary getting made up makes Lauren think up "I'm Every Woman", Jake "I'll Make Love to You" and Jim "It's the End of the World As We Know It". Lauren's makeover in turn makes Hillary, Jim, and Brendan think of those same songs in that order (see Parent with New Paramour). | |

Disappeared Dad | |
Blended / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: Mark, Lauren's ex-husband, clearly doesn't give a damn about his sons, and goes out of his way to travel for work rather than spend time with them. Their divorce was also triggered by him cheating on Lauren. | |

Missing Mom: Jim's wife passed away some time prior to the start of the film; this particularly still effects his middle child, Espn, who isn’t quite ready to let go of her mother. | |

Tampon Run: Jim and Lauren run into each other at the pharmacy trying to buy tampons and magazines, respectively, for their children. They help each other pick out the right items and swap them at the checkout to avoid the awkwardness, but Jim blabs about the swap, defeating the purpose. | |

Blended / int_b8ad38 | comment |
Blended Family Drama: The film is about single parents Jim and Lauren who wind up taking a "familymoon" together along with all their kids. During the trip, Jim and Lauren grow closer and bond with the others' children, who also begin to get along despite initial awkwardness. The film ends with the parents affirming their desire to be with each other (to the delight of their kids). | |

It Makes Sense in Context | |
Blended / int_ba236071 | comment |
It Makes Sense in Context: Lauren is rather annoyed that Jim chose to bring her to Hooters for their blind date. And considers him rather disgusting that he's apparently there enough for the waitresses to know him by name and for him to know theirs. She changes her mind when Hillary mentions offhand that her mother managed that particular restaurant before she died, realizing that it's someplace that both reminds him of his wife and feels comfortable. | |

Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: Inverted. Jim's wife was a tomboy, so he expects his daughters to also be tomboys and treats them as such. He's surprised when Lauren gives Larry a feminine makeover, and she's a lot happier about how she looks. | |
