Fan Myopia and actor trivia shoehorn. YMMV can't be played with, and meta examples aren't allowed.


** Meta example: As seen in the film and on the DVD cover itself, the Creator/{{VH1}} slogan states "Music First". [[NetworkDecay Yeah...]]
* HilariousInHindsight: Music/VanessaWilliams plays a beautiful and successful but (initially) snooty RichBitch AlphaBitch who gets off on bossing people around and protecting her empire. [[Series/UglyBetty Sound familiar?]]
* HollywoodPudgy: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the film, with both a French airline worker and a horse carriage driver telling the average-sized Ebony this, to her displeasure.

"Any time the twin towers appear in a work released before September 11, 2001. That is all." Also not a FFF considering it's 2000.


* FunnyAneurysmMoment: After Ebony gets angry with the Ghost of Christmas Past (portrayed by Creator/KathyGriffin) calling her out on her troubled upbringing and other acts of cruelty, the former calls her a skinny bitch [[InsultBackfire which delights her.]] Griffin would later undergo extensive plastic surgery, including liposuction, which caused several health problems and nearly killed her.



** Any time the Twin Towers are seen, especially at the film's ending which takes place at Christmas time 2000 [[FailedFutureForecast with the Towers still standing.]]
** A more glaring (and rather creepy) example would be of Marli herself. The popular all-girl trio, Desire, that she, Ebony and their friend Terri were in disbanded after Marli's tragic death in a car accident. Less than 18 months after this movie came out, the same thing happened in RealLife to Chilli's (Marli) fellow {{Music/TLC}} member, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.
