| 9 | |
| 10 | * ActorAllusion: |
| 11 | ** Marvin initially thinks the group meeting is the formation of a new band, and guesses that [[Creator/SethGreen Zach]] [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer plays the guitar]]. |
| 12 | ** [[Creator/MichelleTrachtenberg Miranda's]] day job is as a [[Series/{{Mercy}} nurse]]. |
| 13 | * BatmanGambit: The Entire film is Niki's BatmanGambit on all 4 other characters, and it worked perfectly. [[spoiler: Fortunately her intents weren't for malicious for all of them]] |
| 14 | * TheChessmaster: Mind games are Nikki's hobby. |
| 15 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Miranda says Nikki pulled a gun from under her garter belt, prompting Zach to comment on the item of clothing. |
| 16 | * ConsummateLiar: Nikki, as her exes know all too well. |
| 17 | * FlashbackCut: Used frequently to show Nikki's history with the other characters. |
| 18 | * HowWeGotHere: The film opens with bodies being rolled into ambulances, the rest of the film details how it came to be. |
| 19 | * InsaneEqualsViolent: While suffering delusions Nikki killed her perceived stalker and had the intention of killing another ex. Ultimately subverted as she states that [[spoiler: she can fake insanity rather easily]]. |
| 20 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Part of the reason Nikki arranged this little get-together was to [[ShipperOnDeck hook exes Zach and Miranda up with each other.]] |
| 21 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: Nikki to all of her lovers. Played straight, played with, deconstructed, and ultimately ripped to shreds. |
| 22 | * NiceGuy: Zach. Nikki says that he was a perfect gentleman during the progression of their sexual relationship. She set boundaries for what she was comfortable with and he never for a second tried to push beyond that. Eventually she would find him boring because of this. He also waits around to [[spoiler: try to bail Miranda out of jail at the end, presumably for several hours since it's morning when they leave the police station]] despite having only met her the previous evening. |
| 23 | * RunningGag: Zach didn't have dinner. |
| 24 | * ShipperOnDeck: Nikki wants to get Zack and Miranda together |
| 25 | * VomitIndiscretionShot: Zach throwing up on Nikki's shoes. |
