** On that note, considering all of their communication breakdowns throughout the movie, why did it never occur to Justin and Kelly that ''she'' might find ''his'' phone number useful?

* FridgeLogic: The phone number Kelly tries to give Justin has a 972 area code, which corresponds with the Dallas area. The phone number Alexa gives him has a 239 area code, which corresponds with southwest Florida, even though the girls are all from Texas and they are in ''southeast'' Florida for most of the movie.



* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Based on Kelly's phone number, we can deduce that the girls live somewhere in the Dallas area, which means their last-minute road trip to Miami would require over 19 hours of driving.

* AssPull: The main reason Alexa and Kaya want Kelly to visit Miami with them is because their only means of transportation is her car. This is because the charter company operating their previously booked flight has just gone bankrupt, all other flights were full, and Alexa's father is either borrowing or withholding her car.
* CutSong: "Brighter Star" (a CrowdSong involving separate choruses of guys and girls) and "From Me to You" (a SongOfSolace by Justin)


Added DiffLines:

* {{Narm}}: Kelly and Justin's exchange before their [[TheBigDamnKiss big damn kiss]].
-->'''Justin''': So now, in the entire universe, we're in the exact same place at the exact same time, feeling the same exact way about each other, right?
-->'''Kelly''': Yes.
-->'''Justin''': So how can you say it's not fate?
-->'''Kelly''': Dumb luck.
-->'''Justin''': Whatever it is, it feels great.


Added DiffLines:

* WTHCostumingDepartment: For the scene in which she finally decides to "unclench" and start partying, Kelly wears a skirt made of men's ties.

* SoBadItsGood: Some people who don't loathe the movie have this opinion of it. This includes GoldenRaspberryAward founder John Wilson, who describes ''From Justin to Kelly'' [[https://books.google.com/books?id=bLpJHjGFNk8C&pg=PT34 in his book]] as "stupid when it means to be clever, garishly clubfooted when it wants to be graceful, and bearing no resemblance to anything a modern teenager would be caught dead watching".

** Eddie's subplot could have easily been resolved if he and the girl he was looking for simply exchanged cell phone numbers to call and tell each other where they were.

Character Shilling is not YMMV.


* CharacterShilling: Other characters often comment on how "nice" Kelly is, even though over the course of the film she mostly seems bitter and angry.
** Also, during one scene, Kelly makes a point of saying that Kaya is smart, despite nothing in the movie showing that Kaya has any remarkable intelligence.

* IdiotPlot: The whole tension of the story is that Justin lost Kelly's number and Alexa gave him the wrong one when he asked her for it (rather than just asking Kelly for it again).
** Somehow Alexa thought this would cause Justin to lose interest in Kelly and end up with her instead.
** Justin doesn't take "not interested" for an answer, nor is he put off when Kelly gives him a face full of whipped cream.
