** Cora turns Sophie and Alex's romantic ballad into a "steamy and sticky" sex jam, which Sophie considers a complete contradiction to the song's emotionally vulnerable lyrics. Six years later was "Wrecking Ball," a vulnerable breakup song who's accompanying video shows [[Music/MileyCyrus it's singer]] strutting about in her underwear and suggestively licking a sledgehammer.

** Alex also regularly visits a record store (remember those?) to check on a long-unsold CD ([[WhatAreRecords remember]] ''[[WhatAreRecords those?]]'') of his unsuccessful solo album. Today, most of the few copies it sold would be found collecting dust in various thrift shops. The store featured is visibly a Tower Records, which had closed all it's locations by the time the movie was released.

** So, we've got a duet between a blonde pop star known for her sell-out approach to her job, and a much older male singer who more or less took over the songwriting process... sounds a great deal like [[Music/TaylorSwift "The Last Time"]].

* LovableAlphaBitch: Cora turns out to be not so bad after all.


Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The film captures the '80s nostalgia of the late 2000s/early 2010s at it's earliest stage, thanks to the children of the 1980s beginning to reach adulthood themselves and their love of 80s kitsch influencing contemporary media. It also passively mentions several bands who'd been big in the 80s going on reunion tours, most of whom have either been back together for a while or didn't have very long reunions.
** The alien dolls that Alex buys for Rhonda's children are from the then-popular Mars 2112, a sci-fi themed Creator/ChuckECheese-esque restaurant in Times Square, which closed in 2012.
** The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue is done in the style of Creator/VH1's "Pop Up Video," which have since gone out of style.

** Sophie telling Cora that the new intro to A Way Back Into Love is "a complete contradiction" to the vulnerable song because it's so sexual. Compare this to [[Music/MileyCyrus the Wrecking Ball video, which has nudity and hammer licking set to a breakup song.]]
