* AndStarring: [[spoiler: Rosemarie [=DeWitt=] as Claire]].
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Dick attempts one with Lenny - only to get shot down.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Lenny's was this, but she stayed married for the sake of their son.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Dick signs the divorce papers and appears to take a road trip to process the situation. It's left open whether he and Lenny will hit it off or he'll take this new career opportunity]].
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: It soon becomes clear that the entire film is one of these for Dick]].
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Dick's lawyer Neil advises him to patch things up with Claire because the horoscope says this particular month would be a terrible time to get a divorce.
* CareerResurrection: In-universe. [[spoiler: Dick is offered a new TV deal but the film ends ambiguously as to whether he'll take it or not]].
* ChekhovsGunman: The Jaron that keeps sending Dick angry texts. [[spoiler: He's the new network president, offering Dick a TV deal]].
* ContrivedCoincidence: Lampshaded. The day of Dick's public meltdown that led to his career tanking - the same day Lenny's husband died.
* DivorceAssetsConflict: Averted. It's said that Claire just wants a quickie divorce, with as little pain as possible.
* FaceHeelDoubleTurn: At first we're supposed to think of Claire as the bitch who dumps Dick the week of their anniversary. As the film goes on, we start to see that maybe she wasn't unjustified in doing so.

* TheGhost: Claire for most of the film. She appears in one scene towards the end.
* HappyMarriageCharade: Implied with Dick and Claire. Possibly with Tommy and Jessie too, given how quick she is to cheat on him.
* InformedAbility: Justified. Dick was a beloved chat show host, but the clips Lenny watches show him acting rather mean towards his guests. It's then revealed his career tanked because of his {{Jerkass}} behaviour.
* InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube: How else would Lenny find clips of Dick's meltdown?
* TheLostLenore: Subverted. Lenny's husband died but she fell out of love with him before he became terminal.
* ManChild: Dick appears to be one.
* ManHug: Dick's quite fond of these. He gives them to Tommy, Mickey and Neil.
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler: Lenny suggests that her anger at Dick's kiss attempt was unwarranted and says they could try being friends, and see where they go from there. It's left open if they will hit it off]]. Tommy and Jessie are this too, since we don't know if they split up or not.
* MeaningfulName: Dick is admittedly a bit of a dick.
* PunnyName: Dick's lawyer is credited as 'Neil Something' in the credits.
