10	!!Tropes:
11
12	%% * TheAllegedCar:
13	%% ** Sanjay's car has an obviously broken muffler.
14	%% ** Petunia.
15	* AlmostKiss: Christopher and Jessica, twice. This may have been due to the age difference between the two leads as Sterling Knight was 20 during filming and Danielle Campbell was 14.
16	%% * AlphaBitch: Alexis, to an extent.
17	* ArtisticLicenseLaw: While freedom of the press has always been a high priority, reporters aren't legally allowed to do 90% of what the film shows them doing. With the stalking and harassment charges Christopher and Jessica could bring against them, the tabloids they sell probably wouldn't cover reparations, bail money or their lawyers.
18	%% * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther
19	%% * BeYourself
20	%% * BigFancyHouse: Christopher's house.
21	* BelligerentSexualTension: Christopher and Jessica. They spend the entire movie arguing, but are falling in love at the same time.
22	%% * BoyMeetsGirl: Christopher meets Jessica, [[FateDrivesUsTogether quite a number of times]].
23	%% * BrainyBrunette: Jessica.
24	* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: Christopher's reasoning at the beach. He doesn't want Jessica to get eaten alive by the reporters, so he pretends he never knew her.
25	%% * BrickJoke: Christopher's sunglasses, [[spoiler: which he gives to Jessica at the ConcertClimax]].
26	%% * CelebrityStar: Christopher.
27	* ClarkKenting: Lampshaded in the "What's what?" version
28	--> "Is that Cristopher Wilde?" "It can't be, he's wearing a hat."
29	%% * ConcertClimax: At the HighSchoolDance.
30	%% * CoolCar: Christopher has six.
31	* CrashIntoHello: A variation. It's the door he's opening crashing into her head.
32	* DeadpanSnarker: Jessica. Almost everything that comes out of her mouth is some snark towards Christopher.
33	%% * DefrostingIceQueen: Jessica.
34	%% * DoItYourselfThemeTune: Sterling Knight sings just the title track.
35	%% * DumbBlonde: Mildly shown by Sarah's friend AJ near the end of the film.
36	%% * EveryManHasHisPrice: Christopher's tactic.
37	* ExactWords: When Jessica is about to throw up, Stubby tells her not in his car. She listens, vomiting on his feet instead.
38	%% * {{Fangirl}}: Jessica's sister Sarah, and pretty much every girl but Jessica.
39	* TheForeignSubtitle: In Brazil, the movie had the subtitle "Meu Namorado é uma Superestrela" (My Boyfriend is a Superstar).
40	%% * TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Mildly between the Beautiful Sister Sarah and the Smart Sister Jessica.
41	* GrandRomanticGesture: Christopher [[spoiler:writes and performs a song]] for Jessica in front of the entire high school. She actually calls him out on this and it's only after he admits to lying and actually knowing her that she forgives him.
42	%% * HeldGaze: Part of Christopher's celebrity arsenal. Jessica calls him out on it.
43	* HighSchoolDance: The climax of the film takes place at the school dance, where Jessica is initially alone, awkward, and being teased. That's when Christopher shows up.
44	%% * ItsNotYouItsMe: Christopher's philosophy on dating Jessica.
45	%% * LastMinuteHookup
46	%% * LetsJustBeFriends: Alexis's casual dumping of Christopher.
47	%% * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Jessica and Christopher.
48	%% * NoSenseOfDirection: Jessica.
49	* OneWordTitle
50	* OnlySaneWoman: Jessica, who is the only girl not crazy for Christopher Wilde.
51	* PreppyName: Christopher Wilde.
52	* ProperlyParanoid: Christopher's wariness of the paparazzi. He comes off as crazy to Jessica, but he's proven right, as they swarm the two of them constantly.
53	* QuickSandSucks: The fate of [[TheAllegedCar Petunia]]. They get stuck in quicksand, and though they get out, the car gets swallowed whole.
54	%% * Reality Ensues: After Christopher sings his song to Jessica in front of the school, she doesn't immediately forgive him and even [[LampshadeHanging outright asks if he expected everything would be fine.]]
55	%% * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jessica gives one to the paparazzi and reporters following Christopher and later her around. In the very next scene, Christopher gets one from Stubby.
56	* RunningGag: Christopher accidentally hitting Jessica in the face with a door.
57	* ShamingTheMob: What Jessica ''tries'' to do to the paparazzi outside her house with a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Based off one of the reporters asking her cameraman if he got all that on film or not, it failed miserably.
58	%% * SiblingYinYang: Jessica and Sarah.
59	%% * SlapSlapKiss: Christopher and Jessica.
60	* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Why Christopher is so interested in Jessica. She's the only girl who isn't falling all over him, and is honest about how she feels.
61	* SpoiledBrat: Jessica's opinion of Christopher. She thinks he's just some spoiled celebrity, and has to learn that he's a lot better of a guy than that.
62	* ThatCameOutWrong: "I'm Christopher Wilde and you're just an ordinary girl."
63	* ThatDidntHappen: Christopher to Jessica. He pretends they never even knew each other, to try and spare her from the paparazzi.
64	%% * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Jessica and Sarah, though more in manner than style.
65	* {{Tsundere}}: Jessica is nice and polite, except to Christopher, who provokes her constant temper. Christopher calls her out on her snap judgments.
66	* VomitDiscretionShot: When Jessica throws up on Stubby's favorite shoes.
67	* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: The movie could have ended half an hour earlier if Christopher made his relationship with Jessica public.
