Go To

  • Award Snub: The film failed to receive a Best Picture nomination or a Best Director nomination for Marielle Heller, even though it did receive Oscar nominations for Actress, Supporting Actor, and Screenplay. Additionally, several viewers have said that Richard E. Grant should have won the Oscar. The fact that the actual winner is widely agreed to be a leading actor didn't help.
  • She Can Really Act: For her role in the film, Melissa McCarthy has received some of the best reviews of her career and was nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars.
  • Squick: Jack discovering all the turds that Lee's cat has been leaving under her bed, some of which are visibly mouldering.
  • Tear Jerker: Lee returning home from Yale only to find Jersey dead.
