* AllLesbiansWantKids: Enforced beyond description.
* AManIsAlwaysEager
* ButchLesbian: One batch of Armstrong's customers consists of these.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Milked for all its worth to mixed results from the audience.
* LipstickLesbian: Fatima, Alex and most of the others are this.
* NixonMask: A guy wearing one appears in a dream sequence.
* TakeThat: What many RealLife lesbians took the whole film as.
** Creator/RogerEbert took an alternative interpretation and saw the entire film as a TakeThat to every plot device used in the film. Or, as he admitted, he ''hoped'' it was and not that all the preposterous plot elements were supposed to be played straight.
