1	* BaseBreakingCharacter:
2	** Staci. Some find her to be a genuinely bitchy character who works well as an antagonist, others think she's more SourOutsideSadInside, not mean enough to work as a villain, and has more HiddenDepths than the main characters.
3	** Also the main characters aren’t sympathetic when they find out Staci’s a virgin (despite being 14).
4	* ClicheStorm: The movie is a by the numbers teen angst story.
5	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Hannah. Even many critics who didn't like the movie singled out her performance as a good one.
6	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment: Staci [[GiveGeeksAChance giving [=SpongeBob=] a chance]] at the end.
7	* HollywoodHomely:
8	** Creator/SummerGlau, of all people, plays a nerdy girl who couldn't get a date for the dance and is reduced to working as a ticket girl.
9	** [=SpongeBob=] and his friends, although they at least, unlike Julie and co., have several personality quirks.
10	* RetroactiveRecognition:
11	** This movie is almost worth watching due to this (and it has increased through the years).
12	** You've got [[Series/{{Glee}} Sue Sylvester]], [[Series/TheOfficeUS Michael Scott]], [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse Tate Langdon]], [[Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld Envy Adams]], [[Series/{{Weeds}} Silas Botwin]], [[Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm Jeff Garlin]], [[Film/SupermanReturns Jimmy Olsen]], [[Film/{{Halloween 2007}} Laurie Strode]], and [[Film/XMenFilmSeries Quicksilver]]. And you even have [[Series/TheLyingGame Mads Rybek]] and [[Creator/SummerGlau River Tam]] in bit parts.
13	* {{Squick}}: The girls have just finished 8th grade (that is, 13-14). Their male love interests are heavily implied to be high school upperclassmen.
14	* TearJerker: Jules having to say goodbye to her friend Hannah who has to go back home and finish packing for the move. Jules is in tears through the goodbye.
15	* UnintentionallySympathetic: Staci can be mean, no doubt about it, but being harshly dumped and stranded in the park at the beginning for not wanting to have sex with her boyfriend and her GiveGeeksAChance interactions with [=SpongeBob=] make her more likable than she's meant to be for most. In his review of the movie, Creator/RogerEbert even referred to her as "The girl we're ''supposed'' to hate."
16	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Some fans finds Julie to be a bit condescending at times, such as in her RousingSpeech to Summer Glau's character, and when she's inviting over Farrah.
17	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: It's rated PG and had a junior novelization released by Scholastic. Despite this, it's ''chock-full'' of hardcore teen partying, underage drinking, and suggestive material. There are references to hooking up and making out, and a brand of alcohol called "Sex on the Beach" is mentioned by name. Common Sense Media even rates the movie as 15+.
