Given how soon after the film's release George Michael died, it counts as a funny aneurysm moment for being soon after the film's release.
Added DiffLines:
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: At one point, Mia calls Sebastian "George Michael". While meant to be funny, the reference became awkward and unintentionally sad when the real Music/GeorgeMichael passed away just weeks after the film's premiere.

From the page itself: "Note: since all actors and creators are mortal, if someone mentions death or plays a character who dies, and then die themselves, that's not a "funny aneurysm" moment unless there's some connection to the circumstances of the death which was originally Played for Laughs."

** The film also makes it clear early on that Greg's short-lived relationship with Mia was one of convenience, and he seemed to be more interested in his work than her (though he still showed affection). Mia then realized that she had no interest in him or the lifestyle he led, and gravitated towards someone (Sebastian) who was passionate about the arts like she was. At the end of the film, however, the plot does an about-face and expects the audience to believe that Mia eventually [[spoiler:met, married and had a daughter with a FlatCharacter (David) who gets even fewer lines, is introduced in the epilogue and has little-to-no chemistry with her]]. This part has been compared to having a murder mystery introduce the villain ten minutes before the conclusion.

It's also received some accusations of racism (due to the feud between the white Sebastian and the black Keith over the future direction of jazz, in which the viewer is expected to side with Sebastian despite black people creating the genre) and sexism (due to Sebastian's character arc focusing more on his career while Mia's focuses more on her relationship with him).
