* FridgeLogic: Chronologically speaking, Olive makes her comment about Huckleberry Finn not being applicable to real life ''after'' Brandon runs away from home with a big hulking black guy. Thus it makes no sense for her to say that that would never happen.

** Amanda Bynes' character is a clean-cut, HolierThanThou Christian fundamentalist. Since this movie, Bynes has become at least as well-known for her drunk driving charges and traffic accidents as she is for her acting.



* TheWoobie: Brandon, Olive's friend who is bullied for being gay. His "We can talk about how things will get better all night long, but ''right now'' this sucks!" speech was especially heartbreaking in light of the multiple gay teen suicides around the time the movie came out (fall 2010). [[spoiler: He gets his happy ending though.]]

This caused even more confusion outside of the US, particularely to UK viewers, where "twat" simply refers to a stupid and contemptible person.\\

* {{Anvicilious}} / AuthorTract: It is easy to see the film as having a strong Anti-Christian bent; the antagonists are ''loudly'' Christian, and Olive's attempt to see their perspective lead her straight into her enemy's lair or into an empty room where no one listens. This largely depends on the viewer's appraisal of the film; see the above entry.

** It seems very odd that Olive would be sent to the principal's office (by her favorite teacher, no less) for calling a girl a "twat," when the other girl is not reprimanded for calling her a "skank" or a "tramp." Although "twat" ''is'' a bad word, it is usually not seen as very serious in America, whereas the other two are much more common and would definitely garner a stronger reaction.

Brandon says things like, "CAN YOU SMELL THAT!?" and when reprimanded by Olive, tries to correct the damage by saying ''even more ridiculous things'' - "IT DOESN'T REALLY SMELL THAT BAD!" and then for the 'grand finale' she smacks him one in the stomach.

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodHomely: Subverted. Olive speaks about her lack of allure, being invisible to members of the opposite sex, and how she has never been the sexual desire of anybody, which would come off as hard to believe given Emma Stone's beauty, but the eventual point of the movie is that it all revolves around image and perception. She was never supposed to be physically unattractive, just viewed that way as a result of her High School status.

At one point in the film, her fellow students, including her erstwhile ''best friend'' are picketing at school with placards calling her a whore, and she still keeps her head up. And when she tells Mrs. Griffith "I could have [[spoiler:chlamydia]]," you want to give her a hug ''and'' stand up and salute her. ItMakesSenseInContext.

** Possibly [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that the entire movie is a retelling from Olive's perspective.
