Sydney said:
Besides the two leading male characters, Gilbert and Arnie, there are three sisters, a mother, and a love interest. The three sisters often discuss Arnie's condition. Gilbert's love interest and his mother never have an actual conversation and they were more important characters than his sisters.

Becky and her grandma talk about their trip, but grandma doesn't have a name.

Karto disagreed with the rating and said:
This is not a dubious pass. Momma (Bonnie), Amy and Ellen have multiple conversations planning the party and what food they'll serve. They also argue about whether Momma will come out of the house during the party.
