** In the 'expectations vs reality' sequence, Summer's dress has a similar blue pattern to the wallpaper. She also wears a lot of blue throughout the film. This is because of Zooey Deschanel's memorably vivid blue eyes, and the wardrobe was designed to make them pop.

* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: Co-writer Scott Neustadter was inspired to first start writing while going through a bad break-up, and there was more emphasis on the drama and sadness. The other writer Michael H Weber was in a long-term relationship, and he described the different perspectives helped bring out more comedy to the material.
* TheRedStapler: Angel's Knoll, which was used for Tom's favourite spot in the film, became a popular tourist attraction afterwards.

* FandomNod: Joseph Gordon Levitt has given his approval of the fan theory that [[spoiler: Tom and Summer's final conversation on the bench didn't happen]], feeling it reflected more a moment of inner realisation for Tom than actual reality.
* OrphanedReference: Special attention is given to the teenage Summer cutting her hair in the prologue. This made a little more sense when the original plan for her was to have a pixie haircut (providing a VisualPun to the type of character she was). But since Zooey Deschanel wears her hair long, it just seems like an aspect of Summer's impulsive personality.

* PlayingWithCharacterType: Zooey Deschanel is often known for playing the ManicPixieDreamGirl. She does here - and deconstructs the whole relationship with one.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Summer was originally envisioned as a blonde to have a more obvious 'summer like' persona.
** The studio never intended to include the love documentary in the film - even telling Marc Webb not to film it. This changed when test audiences reacted positively to it. The documentary also originally ran longer - with opinions from Rachel, Summer, Millie and Tom's mother.
** The first draft had the film set in San Francisco, rather than Los Angeles.
