Line 14:
* [[Cutting the Electronic Leash]]: In this case, throwing the computer out the door and beating it with a baseball bat. It needed to be done.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Caleb has to actually work and follow the instructions in "The Love Dare" in order to achieve this.
* [[Father, I Want to Marry My Brother]] : Done very sweetly by the daughter in the opening of the film.
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: It's a mixture of people forgetting lines, goofs onstage, and a '''lot''' of pranks that got filmed.
* [[Hollywood Fire]]: Largely averted. Not that much of the house is on fire and it clearly shows the amount of smoke involved. Still, the fact that the section underneath the house is completely intact except for dramatic falling rubble...
Line 29:
* [[Tomato Surprise]]: When Caleb first confides to his father that Catherine wants to leave him, Dad Holt challenges him to fulfill the conditions of "The Love Dare," pointing out that it aided greatly in his own marriage to Caleb's mother when they had hit a rough patch. {{spoiler|Near the end, we learn that it was ''Dad Holt'' who had wanted to leave Mom Holt and not the other way around as Caleb had initially assumed; this prompts Caleb to go and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|apologize]] to his mother for having been a [[Jerkass]] to her throughout the movie.}}
* [[The Unfair Sex]]: One of the greatest problems of the movie. While Caleb was kind of a Jerkass and had problems, both personal and in the marriage, he's shown as the ''only'' one who had to fight for the marriage, even when its shown that Catherine was equally wrong in many of her arguments and she's not shown to have changed. [[Broken Aesop|When in marriage, one and only one of the spouses is wrong and must do whatever it takes to heal the marriage, since it's their responsibility]].
** But they do imply that she had a [[What Have I Done]] moment when she found out that it was her husband who paid for the wheelchair. And one of her coworkers did give her a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] about entertaining a suitor while she was still married.
** [[Broken Aesop|A husband must give up his goal to please his wife and, in exchange, she'll feel bad about trying to cheat on him.]]
