{{tropelist}}

* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]

* [[Birth-Death Juxtaposition]]: {{spoiler|It's no coincidence that Martha ends up announcing her pregnancy during the funeral.}}

* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Between Daniel, [[The Unfavorite]] of nearly everyone in the family, and Robert, whom everyone loves because of his successful writing career.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Justin is this towards Martha, so much so he's a borderline male [[Abhorrent Admirer]]. Justin constantly follows Martha around and hits on her no matter how many times she tells him she's in love with Simon. {{spoiler|Justin immediately loses interest after finding out Martha is pregnant.}}

* [[Actor Allusion]]: "[[Lethal Weapon|I'm too old for this shit.]]"

* [[Amazing Freaking Grace]]: James Marsden bursts into song while tripping.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: The lead character's wife (Keeley Hawes in the original and Regina Hall in the remake) gets a somewhat bigger role and a subplot about trying to get pregnant.
