* ValuesDissonance: A few jokes are made about characters “being gay” when they don’t express their feelings in a traditionally masculine way. By the year 2020, as the LGBT community has gained more mainstream visibility and many of these “masculine” ways of expressing feelings been called into question after the “Me Too” movement, the dissonance becomes two-fold. Both calling someone “gay” as an insult and the presented reasons for doing so have become less acceptable in the present day. Additionally, Tom gives an AsideGlance when Summer mentions dating a woman in the past, which would probably not cause such a reaction today with open bisexuality considered more acceptable. However, this is at least partially intentional, to play up Tom and his friends’ immaturity.

** With regards to Summer's character, did she enter into the relationship thinking it was only a casual fling and hoping that Tom saw it that way (and the break-up brought on by the realization that he didn't)? Or on some level did she feel sorry for Tom and kept things going on longer to spare his feelings? For that matter, dancing with him at the wedding after they'd broken up - is it because she assumed they were BetterAsFriends and he wouldn't interpret anything romantic from it, or did she [[spoiler: not mention her fiance]] again to spare his feelings?

Interestingly, younger viewers tend to fall into the latter category, and many people say they empathized with Tom when they were teenagers and switched sides upon rewatching as an adult.

* BrokenAesop: Summer getting increasingly more intimate with Tom (telling him things she never told anyone else, hand-holding, etc.) makes it hard to sympathise with the movie's perspective that Tom should have realised Summer didn't want anything serious, since it comes off like she just doesn't want to deal with the responsibility. This gets worse when [[spoiler: she insensitively dances with him at a friend's wedding while she's already engaged to someone else, and she marries someone after not knowing them for very long. Given Tom's reaction to hearing her reasoning for dancing with him, this could have been an intentional moment meant to show Tom realising Summer's flaws at long last]].

** As is the last scene at Tom's spot in the park.
--> '''Summer:''' One day I just looked at him and I knew.
--> '''Tom:''' Knew what?
--> '''Summer:''' What I was never sure of with you.
** Tom's heartbroken speech about love during the board meeting.
