* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A homeless man keeps showing up to take the Prozac Jamie dumps in the trash and once makes an offhand comment that he has a job interview later before scampering off with the drugs. We had seen him take the drugs repeatedly, but the relevance of this fact is never addressed so the "job interview" comment is borderline BigLippedAlligatorMoment.
** It's a joke. He's been taking the Prozac and he got his life in order.

* LadyKillerInLove: This is what the movie is about, and what makes it sweet. Jamie is initially a womanizer, and he's happy when Maggie wants a sex-only relationship. However, he still ends up developing feelings for her. When he first says "I love you" to her, he has a panic attack, because he never said this to anyone before.
