| 3 | !!This film provides examples of: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * CharacterAsHimself: An odd subversion. Nick Jasenovec is the director, co-writer and co-executive producer, but in the film he's actually played by an actor named Jake Johnson. Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera both play themselves, and there are cameos by other comedians playing themselves as well. |
| 6 | * {{Documentary}}: The interview sections |
| 7 | * DoggedNiceGuy: Michael, at the start |
| 8 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: A minor case. [[spoiler: Charlyne and Michael reconcile when she doesn't let the camera crew into his house.]] |
| 9 | * FauxDocumentary: The scenes about the relationship between Michael and Charlyne, although it does acknowledge the camera crew, a lot. |
| 10 | * JerkAss: Nick becomes one by insisting that everything must be documented, as Charlyne grows increasingly uncomfortable with it. |
| 11 | * NoFourthWall: By design. Even in the fictional sections, Charlyne and Micheal will react to the camera, and as the film and their relationship goes on, they become more and more uncomfortable with being filmed. |
| 12 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Charlyne is somewhat cold to Michael at the beginning, although she does warm up eventually |
