To Catch a Yeti / int_2cb9b1a9	comment	Cool, but Inefficient: A literal example. To keep the yeti cool, the Bristows stash him in their open refrigerator all night long. In real life, this would probably burn out the fridge motor or result in a huge electricity bill.

To Catch a Yeti / int_43b154c9	comment	Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Most obviously the British actress playing Mrs. Bristow, but also apparent when characters meant to be New Yorkers are heard using non-American terms like 'mum'. Canadian pronunciations are also abundant throughout the film. Mountains having a soft "oh" sound in place of the "ow".

To Catch a Yeti / int_a939d96a	type	Adults Are Useless
To Catch a Yeti / int_a939d96a	comment	Adults Are Useless: Downplayed. For the most part, the Bristows are constantly losing track of their daughter and being generally ineffectual, with just about all the heroic action is initiated by Amy. Despite this, Dave does get a few moments to shine when he gets his family into the Sturgeon house to get Hank back and utilizes his ally in the police. The hunters (well, Grizzly) are also highly competent, but they're the main antagonists of the movie. The law enforcement of the film also zig-zag this, being aware of the threat Grizzly poses, with airport security even arresting him at the end of the film. But the local police refuse to do anything at first because the Bristows smuggled in an illegal animal, not caring that Grizzly endangered their child in the process of taking it.
