Disappeared Dad: Jamie's father skipped out on him and Dorothea, and he never got to know him.

Bittersweet Ending: While the main characters are still shown as supportive and caring towards one another, they all eventually drift away from one another save Jamie and Dorothea, while the latter dies 20 years later.

The Generation Gap

comment
The Generation Gap: Dorothea, who was born just before the Great Depression and came of age during WWII, has a hard time understanding her son, Julie and Abbie, who are Baby Boomers. So conflicts arise when she requests Julie and Abbie's help in raising Jamie, who all find the whole arrangement weird and credit it to Dorothea being from the Great Depression.

comment
The Alleged Car: The film opens with Dorothea's very old car spontaneously combusting. Dorothea speaks fondly of it despite Jamie saying it had been showing signs of its age for a while.

Cool Big Sis: This seems to be how Jamie views Abbie, most notably in the enthusiasm with which he takes up feminist literature after she recommends it to him.
