* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The main gimmick - that Austin and Sam only know each other anonymously through internet chat rooms - firmly roots the movie to the 2000s. Their cell phones are also the now-outdated flip phones of the time. Additionally, social media doesn't play any part in the story, and it would have factored into the plot had the movie been made even five years later. The lack of attention paid to the bullying at school roots the movie to the 2000s as well. Astrid is also dressed in the typical early 2000s PopPunk style.

*** Austin was supposed to get up on stage during the pep-rally, only to pretend that the whole thing was a joke he was in on. This probably explains why the faculty never actually punishes Shelby and her friends for the skit, since they probably assumed it was AllPartOfTheShow. It could also explain another reason why Sam was angry at him in the locker room scene.
