** The main character is a boy who starts wearing makeup just because he sees it as part of his style. That is a pretty accurate description of [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] James Charles.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: WordOfGod has said that the final scene could be just another ImagineSpot for Conor, and he was surprised at how many people took it to be something that actually happened.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire soundtrack, composed of notable 80s and 70s songs, and some pretty great tracks the band perform themselves.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Brendan, although this is mainly due to the choice of the actor. Jack Reynor has developed a massive HypeBacklash from his performance in ''Film/WhatRichardDid'', and some feel he's out of place in the film. Others who like his work in the former, as well as ''{{Theatre/Macbeth}}'' and ''Film/ARoyalNightOut'' enjoyed him in the film.
* HilariousInHindsight: Barry's father mockingly says to the band "see you at the Oscars". The movie ended up with a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
* JerkassWoobie:
** Brendan slips into BigBrotherBully territory sometimes but he pretty much says that he had to be in the middle of his parents' rows his whole life, and he thinks of himself as TheUnfavourite.
** Barry might be a homophobic bully, but he's hit by his nasty father. [[spoiler: He looks so happy to be included at the end]].
** Conor's parents too. Although they spend more time fighting than raising their children, and the mother is having an affair, it's hard not to feel sorry for them given how horrible Ireland was for those trapped in unhappy marriages. They say they can't even divorce (it was still banned in Ireland at the time) and can only legally separate.
