* TearJerker: Josie's flashback to the night of her prom. Her younger self giddily rushes to her front porch to meet her date... only for him and his real date to cruelly pelt her with eggs and drive off, leaving young Josie sobbing. Also a bit of realistic NightmareFuel to those who were picked on in high school.

* TearJerker: Josie's flashback to the night of her first prom. Her younger self has gotten ready much to her families delight, and she giddily rushes to her front porch to meet her date... only for him and his real date to cruelly pelt her with eggs and drive off, leaving young Josie sobbing. The, her mother hears and walks out, but Josie can’t face telling her what happened and runs off. Also a bit of realistic NightmareFuel to those who were picked on in high school.

* FridgeHorror: Colson was very clearly falling in love with Josie. But the thing is, he had no idea about her true age. No one did. So it could be argued that he [[{{Squick}} fell in love with a high school girl]].
** More straddling the line between this and FridgeLogic, but - Rob is a 23-year-old pretending to be a high-school student, who plays baseball. Most, if not all, governing bodies would force South Glen South to forfeit the games in which he played, as players over 18 are a big no-no a high school sports.

** Also Josie Geller -- she's supposed to be a bookish, nerdy girl as well... but she's [[Creator/DrewBarrymore Drew frickin' Barrymore!]] That said, they do manage to make Drew look pretty bad in her prom flashback. More than the majority of these examples, anyway.

Added DiffLines:
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: We see Kirsten, Kristen, and Gibby be outright cruel on multiple occasions, and at the prom they are clearly angry with Josie and disturbed to learn that she's actually 25. Despite this, at the end of the film they still show up to Wrigley Field and seem to be rooting for Josie, with Kirsten even saying "That is ''so'' wrong" when [[spoiler: it looks like Coulson isn't going to show up]]. Were they only there for the spectacle, or did they read her article and have a HeelRealization?

* {{Squick}}: It's rather creepy how Rob pretended he dated Josie. And don't his friends ask how she was in bed, to which he replies, "She's amazing." And then don't they lean in and want details ''WHICH HE THEN HAS TO DESCRIBE???'' Yeah, it's a charade, but seriously?

* WhatAnIdiot: Why exactly did Rickford assign a ''copy editor'' to do a huge story anyway? Does he randomly assign stories to random people? If he could fire his own cousin for a lackluster story, what exactly did he expect from a copywriter who hasn't cut her teeth on any stories yet?
** She was probably the person in the room he figured could most convincingly pass for a high school senior. Dumb, yes, but her cover was less likely to be blown before she got a story if it wasn’t an obvious [[Series/ThirtyRock “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?”]]
