* LoveInterestVsLustInterest: Anna is engaged to Walter, who genuinely loves her, while her ex-husband Max still occasionally pursues her for his own gratification ("Let's talk about love and sex... actually, forget love, let's just talk about sex.") It's subverted when Max admits he lied about sleeping with Anna while Walter was on a business trip; he makes it clear he actually cares very deeply for her and berates Walter for throwing her away.

*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Max is an arrogant and smug prick most of the time, but he does have some redeeming traits - he does genuinely care for Anna and wants her to be happy, and he doesn't seem to have any real ill will towards Walter either. In the final scene, he even conducts a symphony orchestra in honor of their wedding.
