Holly can't date herself


* BlitheSpirit: Chill, uninhibited, cheerfully promiscuous Holly visits Audra and Noel, shaking up their straitlaced suburban life. She is a black bisexual Englishwoman who's there in an all white area of the US and definitely stands out. A carefree marijuana edibles baker, she casually agrees to Noel's idea they have a threesome when he learns she once dated Holly. Despite the initial mixed feelings the two have, both seem much happier in the wake of her visit as her free-spiritedness has rubbed off on them at least somewhat.

* DoYouWantToCopulate: Instead of easing Audra into the idea, Holly just bluntly asks if she'd like to have a threesome with Noel. Audra leaves in shock at first, but agrees later.
* EthicalSlut: Holly is unashamedly promiscuous, but she also makes sure her partners are on board and entirely comfortable with whatever happens.

* LawOfInverseFertility: Audra and Noel have been trying to get pregnant for a year without success. It turns out Audra got pregnant easily in high school though, but didn't want to tell Noel as she worried he would blame himself. He'd gotten his sperm tested however, with them being fine, so he concludes neither is infertile they just didn't manage to conceive yet.



* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: Pete tells Noel he's taken to masturbating as his wife Marnie always turns down his overtures for sex. He's masturbated on her when she's sleeping out of bitterness, which disgusts Noel. Later, she woke up and was outraged while he did this. She was so mad she'd hit Pete and demanded a divorce. [[spoiler:They get into marriage counseling though and save their relationship.]]



* NoBisexuals: After she's admitted her feelings for Holly, Noel objects that Audra can't just go become a lesbian, in spite of them both having a clear attraction for men as well. The word “bisexual” never occurs in the film.



* QuirkyCurls: Holly's free-spirited nature is partly shown by her hair being in a loose afro when she comes to visit her more straitlaced white ex-girlfriend Audra.



* SexlessMarriage: Pete complains repeatedly to Noel about his wife Marnie no longer having sex with him since they had kids. [[spoiler:By the end, they're in marriage counseling, having started to be sexual together as well again.]]



* ThreewaySex: Noel proposes this between Audra, Holly and himself after Pete suggests the idea. They agree, having sex offscreen with him and each other. He gets jealous though after they start kissing when he's not involved.

* SlutShaming: Audra says Holly is a tramp negatively while complaining about her to Noel when they're talking early on.
* TeenPregnancy: Audra tells Marnie she became pregnant at 17 by her boyfriend. Marnie assumes that she had an abortion, though Audra actually [[ConvenientMiscarriage miscarried]], sparing her any tough decisions (plus having to tell her parents).
* ThreewaySex: Noel proposes this between Audra, Holly and himself after Pete suggests the idea. They agree, having sex offscreen with him and each other. He gets jealous though after they start kissing when he's not involved. Holly's been in them already more than once and says they did great when it's over.


Added DiffLines:

* UptightLovesWild: Everyone is pretty surprised that Audra had been involved with Holly in college, as she's quite sexually straitlaced at present with her husband Noel. Holly though is a free-spirited, very beautiful bisexual who Noel is immediately attracted to, with Audra shown as still having a strong attraction for her as well. It's easy to see how Holly would have had this dynamic with Audra in college as well.

* LipstickLesbian: {{Downplayed}}, but Holly is a demure, long-haired woman who always dresses in clothes which show off her good looks. She's bisexual however, having a threesome with Audra, her ex-girlfriend, and Audra's husband Noel. Audra herself is more average than anything, and doesn't use labels.

* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: Noel says Audra's expression looks like the reaction someone would have after they learned someone they've not seen for years suddenly died, assuming this was what happened with Holly at first. She's incredulous that such a specific look can exist.
