* ComicallyMissingThePoint: At the end of the opening sequence, as Jasmine's seatmate hurries away, Jasmine cheerfully bids her farewell, suggesting that they have lunch sometime, completely oblivious to the fact that the woman clearly just wants to get the hell away from her, even calling out, "Wait! I don't have your number!"

* {{Ephebophile}}: Hal, given his liaison with an '''''18-year-old''''' girl (while she's of the legal age of consent, this disorder is defined as an attraction to those 15-19 years of age) and his passionate declaration that this is true love, with an attitude as if this is perfectly normal.

* HateSink: Hal's shady criminal dealings are one thing, [[spoiler: but cheating on his wife with as many other women as he wants, lying about it, and then telling her flat out to her face that he plans to marry a particularly young woman after he's caught, and showing little accountability for what he's done and no empathy to how he's hurt her?]] Even if it was a bad move, It's no wonder that Jasmine reacted in the matter she did, considering her mental instability.

* WhamLine: [[spoiler:Already stunned at learning of Hal's affair with a friend's au pair, Jasmine is even moreso when her friend admits that she knew and that this is just the latest of his infidelities, proceeding to rattle off the names of his other lovers.]]
* WholePlotReference: Aside from the similarities to the Madoff case, this could also be considered a loose remake of Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire.

* {{Narcissist}}: Jasmine is this. Or more specifically she's an emotionally fragile egotist. It's clear she has little stable self-independence or value despite supposedly being in love with her own wealthy lifestyle and looking down on anyone who doesn't come close to her, with her routinely expecting that others instead of herself, will give her both the future of self-confidence and the fabulous rich lifestyle she craves.

* AssholeVictim: After finding out what led to Hal's arrest [[spoiler:and eventually suicide in prison]], nobody will probably feel sorry for him in the slightest. Subverted with Jasmine as she's still pretty much a victim, in spite of the fact that her being an asshole is what partially led to her own downfall.

*LackOfEmpathy: As self-absorbed and unempathetic as Jasmine herself is, absolutely nobody seems to show much at all for her own problems, even if they cause it. It's especially egregious with her ex-husband, who acted quite insincere and unmoved when she freaked out about him cheating with many women behind her back.
