- Frequently uses upbeat light rock songs
- Films often contain flashback scenes that show how a character was affected by a traumatic event.
- Often in his films, the main male character has a female romantic interest, gets foiled by the comical stalker (jealous party, another man) of the said female. For example; 'There's Something About Mary', 'Hall Pass', 'Stuck on You', 'Heartbreak Kid'. Most of the time the stalker has a crush on the woman the protagonist wants.

- It's not just putting people with disabilities in the movies - it's putting them in and letting them be a wide range of characters. Some of them are funny, some of them are not, some of them are nice, some of them are jerks. They're just like everybody else. If a guy came up to us and he was physically disabled or something and he was mad at us for something we did, it would kill us. Me or Pete - it would kill us.
