- Acting for Two: Kazan played both the titular character and said character's Identical Stranger that Calvin met at the end. Though going by the All There in the Script just below, it is probably a Subverted Trope.
- All There in the Script: The ending is a bit of a Mind Screw: who was the girl in the park? Maybe she's someone he'd seen earlier and subconsciously based Ruby on? In the script, however, it is made clear that she indeed is Ruby, "released from her past" just as Calvin had written.
- Reality Subtext: This is the first film directed by Dayton and Farris after Little Miss Sunshine, which came out six years before and was a smash hit amongst critics and audiences alike. Now consider the plot of this film.
- Real-Life Relative: Real-life sweethearts Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan plays the film's Official Couple. Well, sort-of.
