Not to be confused with the [[Rihanna]] song.

=== This film has examples of the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Sometimes averted and sometimes played straight. The police are actually willing to search Turner's garage at Kale's frantic behest. Kale's mother plays this straight until the last ten minutes of the movie. However, Kale's mom has some reasoning as she is more worried that Kale is going nuts and going to do something that will result in him being taken away from her by the police. That, and his evidence isn't the strongest.
Line 16:
* [[Berserk Button]]: NEVER ask Kale about his father.
* [[Binocular Shot]]: Used extensively.
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Happens to both Kale and his mother. In a rare case in suspense films, this actually doesn't prevent them from retaliating -- Kaleretaliating—Kale's mother is ironically [[Adults Are Useless|at her most useful by far]] while duct taped up in Turner's basement.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: The little kids, though [[Laser-Guided Karma]] hits them in a bulls-eye when Kale is freed from house arrest and he tells their mom that they've been watching porn. From what we can see in the end, she ''loses'' it.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: 28-year old Aaron Yoo as Ronnie is the worst offender. Also, Sarah Roehmer, 23, and [[Shia LaBeouf]], 21.
