Control Freak: Genevieve, the bride of the wedding Ryan is attending, is this to such a degree that, within one minute of talking to her, Kate and Meg decide that being married to her is punishment enough for Ryan's misdeeds.

Big Prick, Big Problems: A peculiar case in that Ryan's penis isn't just big, it is also crooked, which requires a lot of maneuvering around during sex.

Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer for the film leads the audience to think that Kate is outright fired from her teaching job for allowing a kid to read a manga in her class. In the actual film, she's only told to consider quitting her job and ultimately decides to stay.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Kate and Meg are closer than sisters, close enough in fact for the relationship to come off as somewhat co-dependent. Even by the end of the movie, when they decide that they need to stop living together, Meg only manages to move as far away as the next apartment in the hallway.
