* GrandFinale: The movie serves as a finale to the series, as Saunders states there gonna more of the series after the movie.

* FugitiveArc
* Patsy resolves the increasingly bizarre plot with a final twist, which defies description. Whether this fits under ItMakesSenseInContext or ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext is a matter of opinion...

* AdamWesting: Model Kate Moss, who [[spoiler: spends days, is found by fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultirt on the banks of River Thanes after falling in earlier, partying because she presumed she was still at the same party and lost track of time]]. Also, many others, such as Pop Singer Lulu, who is so tired of Eddie's ineffectiveness as a PR agent that she insists in finding her so that she can be punished.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: When Eddie is close to death, she admits how much she loves Saffy and Lola, and that she should have been a better mother.

* DragQueen: Lots and lots and.....

* ShoutOut: The subplot of Patsy disguising herself as a man and marrying a rich old woman is a nod to a similar subplot in ''Film/SomeLikeItHot''.

* CallBack /ContinuityNod: Numerous, including Patsy's 'Gabon' and 'Flash Flash Flash!', the sarcastic rude nurse who gives Eddie cosmetic treatments, and the fact Patsy was once a man.
