* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: When Amy and Kim visit their Dad in a care home to tell him that Kim is pregnant. He's happy about the news and says he's excited to finally have a grandkid. Kim gets offended and says he's forgetting her step-son, Alistair. He explains that while he does cares about the boy, he's not a blood-relative of his so the feeling is different. Kim gets so offended she yells at him and storms out, and because he was an AlcoholicParent to Amy and Kim when they were kids, we're obviously meant to sympathise with her. But the thing is, the Dad is right in this situation and considering Kim wanted to put him in the worst care home she could find and throws out his possessions when she's sorting through them with Amy, it makes her look incredibly petty and looking for an excuse to be pissed off at him.

** Wrestling/JohnCena also proved himself, like contemporaries Wrestling/DwayneJohnson and Wrestling/{{Batista}} before him, as more than a novelty act by stealing the movie as a less-than-ambiguously gay boyfriend. Whereas Cena had languished in poorly-received, low-budget WWE films prior to this film, his success from ''Trainwreck'' led him into an established acting career that eventually moved him away from wrestling.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of the subplots involves sports physician Dr. Connors finding a breakthrough surgery to help then-Knicks star Amar'e Stoudamire with his chronic knee problems. Sadly for Stoudamire, life did not imitate art and Stoudamire's knee issues continued to fell his career; he was released by the Knicks a few months before the film was released and retired from the NBA the following year.

** This also occurred with lead actress Creator/AmySchumer. After becoming an A-lister through this film, Schumer started to get hit with an enormous backlash, with the biggest criticisms being her over reliance on dirty humor, and allegations of her stealing other comedians' jokes.
