* ADateWithRosiePalms: The theme. Alice is just beginning to explore her body, and ends up using a variety of implements, including her cell phone set to vibrate, a broom handle, and finally her family's neck-massager, to arouse herself. Her school, and particularly Fr. Murphy, are adamant that this is a Hell-worthy sin, but Alice later catches Fr. Murphy engaging in it himself, to internet porn.

It is based on the 2017 short film of the same name, also starring Dyer and written/directed by Maine. The film costars Creator/TimothySimons, Creator/WolfgangNovogratz, Creator/FrancescaReale, and Creator/DonnaLynneChamplin.

* TurnOfTheMillennium: The film is set [[PeriodPiece during the fall of the early 00's]]. Titanic is still a relatively recent film. Boxy cellphones are becoming more popular, but are not yet ubiquitous. Internet chat rooms are also all the rage, and nobody seems to password-lock their computers or know how to delete their browser history.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Alice's friend Laura initially comes off as a shallow, but not unsupportive friend. However, she quickly latches onto the tossed-salad rumor, despite Alice's honest denial, and then accuses her of using Fr. Murphy's computer for cybersex (which Alice ''did'' do). She ends their friendship and calls Alice a "pervy psycho" in front of the whole retreat, despite Alice doing nothing to her and harmed nobody. Then, she has the audacity to try and act as if nothing happened when Wade is publicly accused of the cybersex, revealing both her homophobia (she insults him by calling him gay) and saying he ''probably'' made up the rumor about him and Alice, meaning she still has zero trust in her ''friend''. By the end of the movie, it's clear Alice is done with her, and just going through the motions.

* {{Epigraph}}: The film opens with [[Literature/TheBible a quote from Revelation]] about sexual deviance, followed by [[DictionaryOpening a pair of dictionary definitions]] for both the literal "tossed salad" and the slang "salad tossing."

* ThePeepingTom: Alice doesn't intentionally go searching for these situations, but twice stumbles upon viewing people doing naughty things and decides to watch. It contributes heavily with her disillusionment of the church, as everyone breaking the rules while shaming her for doing just that.

* SlutShaming: The school administration heavily indoctrinate this behavior into its students. Father Murphy is especially bad, emphasizing it in his "Ethics" class. Subsequently, the school is rife with bullying behavior based on the concept, which the administration ignores. The retreat is even worse.

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: Type 3. When Alice realizes Wade has no intention of denying the mean rumors about their supposed dalliance, and finds that his "Promise" bracelet has accidentally fallen off, she decides to get back at him. She ends up hiding the bracelet under Fr. Murphy's computer keyboard, after he discovered that someone (Alice) had used his computer to go log-onto an explicit chatroom. Murphy subsequently accuses Wade of the act, and Wade can do nothing but splutter denials, which makes the campers begin to doubt the validity of the original rumor.
* GossipEvolution: Alice and her classmate Wade attended the same house party together. Somehow a rumor spread that they spent time in the house's sauna. This quickly spirals into a rumor that they hooked-up in said sauna, to the point that Alice "tossed his salad" (Anilingus). Within a few days, Alice is considered the school slut, as Wade, despite having an irate girlfriend, has done nothing to deny it.
* {{Hypocrite}}: The Kirkos retreat is full of them. The priest is watching internet porn while preaching God's zero-tolerance for masturbation, the counselors are having sex with the campers while spouting the wonders of abstinence, and malicious rumors are spread in a retreat the talks about trust and friendship. However, it's emphasized that this isn't wholly the fault of those involved, but partially a bi-product of an environment that shames people them for their natural sexual urges.

* PoorMansPorn: Alice likes watching the famous sex scene from ''Film/Titanic1997'' over and over again. The movie ends with her realizing she can combine the experience with her family's back-massager.

Cellphones are becoming more popular, but are not yet ubiquitous, and are still boxy.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: The "Kirkos" retreat is a thinly-veiled version of the real Catholic practice of Kairos Retreats, which are nominally designed to help the participants find their own personal relationships with God.
