History YMMV / VeryBadThings

* AccidentalAesop: Don't obbsess over perfection.

** [[spoiler: The ending. While it's played for BlackComedy, the final absolute rock bottom moment of the film has almost everyone still alive having ended up totally miserable and/or crippled. And while [[AssholeVictim she may have had it coming]], seeing Laura DrivenToMadness over taking in how horribly her life has crumbled apart (basically the total opposite of the married suburban life she'd been dreaming of) to the point of wandering out into the street and collapsing while wailing and screaming like a toddler is not a pleasant sight to end things on at all.]]

** Laura, if not for her bridezilla tendencies then definitely for her casually telling Kyle to [[spoiler: kill Charles for being a loose end, and the dog for no particular reason. Her being confined to having to deal with her now handicapped husband, the now handicapped Charles, [[RuleOfThree the now handicapped dog]], and Adam's two bratty children (one of whom is ''[[OverlyLongGag also]]'' [[OverlyLongGag handicapped]]) at the end of the film, which drives her into a [[DrivenToMadness total psychotic meltdown]], almost comes off like a case of TakeThatScrappy rather than tragic]].
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: The Security Guard]] was a nice guy who was just doing his job, he dies begging for his life with a corkscrew in his chest and gets buried in the desert. We later find out (via a newspaper article on his disappearance) that he left behind a wife and kids.

** For what minor role she has, Laura manages to pass this when she demands Kyle to [[spoiler:kill Charles for being a loose end, and the dog for no particular reason.]] There's also the fact that she puts her wedding as a priority above all else, even when things go for the worse.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: It can be really hard to sympathize with any of the characters involved since none of them have any likable traits.

* MoralEventHorizon: Arguably many different moments for many different characters, but one notable 'Point of No Return' for Boyd is sometime between [[spoiler:killing Lois despite being told not to, and framing her death on Michael whom he shoots off screen.]] From that point on, he is no longer the temperamental yet kooky friend who knows a little too much about Murder, and is now a full blown Sociopath and a threat to any of the other characters.

* TheScrappy: No one likes those bratty kids, in universe or out.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The results of the accidental murder of the prostitute have caused Boyd to snap into an AxCrazy frenzy.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: It can be really hard to sympathize with any of the characters involved since none of them have any likable traits. The only sympathetic characters in question would be the victims that the main characters killed.

* DudeNotFunny: It may be a BlackComedy, but the sheer amount of handicap humor, as well as [[spoiler: the ultimate fates of Kyle, Charles and the dog]] is a bit uncomfortable.

* TheScrappy: No one likes those bratty kids, in universe or out.
