* NoAntagonist: Nobody in the story is acting from malice or trying to hurt anyone else, they're all just making, as the title suggests, crazy and/or stupid decisions due to love. Even David Lindhagen, the man Emily slept with, is shown to not be a bad person per se and genuinely falling for her.

Reverted back to Token Minority: 'woman' is not a minority within the context of the film. ATT for reference


* TwoferTokenMinority: The only racial minority with more than a couple of lines is Liz (played by the Filipino-American Creator/LizaLapira), Hannah's best friend whose role amounts to verbally supporting Hannah and Jacob together.

Added DiffLines:

* OneHourWorkWeek: Cal spends only one scene at his desk job, with the rest of his screentime spent shopping, schmoozing, or interacting with his family. Lampshaded when Jacob finds him day drinking and comments that he should be at work; Cal comments that he has a lot of vacation time.


Added DiffLines:

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Though it seems like Cal will be more of a "man" if he follows in Jacob's womanizing ways, the characters eventually realize that in genuine relationships women value kindness and honesty over charm and swagger.

** Emily cheats on Cal and tells him she wants a divorce (although she's not specifically leaving him for the other man) and their friends take ''her'' side -- but all are incensed at the rumors of Cal's womanizing.
** Jessica calls out Robbie on his crush, but it's clear that she's into his dad Cal. The difference is actually way more extreme in her case.


Added DiffLines:

* TheTopicOfCancer: PlayedForLaughs. Cal shows up to work miserable and his coworkers all assume it's cancer. When they learn it's a divorce, they applaud that it's ''not'' cancer.
