13	----
14	!!This film provides examples of:
15
16	* APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy: Subverted - it ''really is'' an orgy.
17	* AllWomenAreLustful: All the girls are constantly lusting after various boys. Mostly PlayedForDrama, though, as any possible pairings endanger their existing friendships.
18	* BigFancyHouse: The parents are either upper middle class or flat out rich, so in many cases it's a backdrop for scenes outside school.
19	%%* BlondeBrunetteRedhead
20	* CastingGag: Sophie Marceau rose to fame in France with her starring role as Vic in the 1980 teen comedy ''Film/LaBoum''. Here, she plays the mother of a character with similarities to Vic.
21	* ComingOfAgeStory: A group of high schoolers griping about their relationships with their parents and each other, while finding out what they really want to do with the rest of their lives.
22	* DivorceIsTemporary: Averted. While relations between Anne and Alain seem to be solid (especially when it comes to their children), one of the plot points is Anne getting over her marriage and finally dating other men.
23	* DrugsAreBad: Inverted. There is a children-parents lecture by a FairCop, but both the teens and their parents either ridicule it or, like Lola and her mother, argue about why ''each of them'' should stop smoking weed. Then the same cop, despite being from an anti-drug unit, doesn't bust Anne's friends for smoking--rather, he smokes with them.
24	* ForeignQueasine: One of the stereotypes played hard with the English households visited by the students.
25	* ForeignRemake: From a French {{Dramedy}} about the struggles between parents and their maturing children into a LighterAndSofter American teen-comedy.
26	* GratuitousEnglish: The title, necessary for a double-meaning though it may be.
27	* MistakenForGay: Lola, by her mother, after reading her diary.
28	* MyBelovedSmother: How Lola sees her [[ComicallyMissingThePoint loving and]] [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint caring mother]].
29	* SexAsRiteOfPassage: PlayedWith. Since the French original is, well, French, sex is treated as something normal and natural that simply happens between teens in love. The bigger focus is put on the relationship leading up to the act than the sex itself.
30	* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: Every. Single. Party.
31	* SpoiledBrat: '''All''' of teen characters come from well-off families and act the part, with unrealistic expectations about life and the adults around them. A major part of the story is Lola finally outgrowing such behaviour.
32	* WildTeenParty: Especially when they are left unsupervised in any way by an adult.
