| 9 | !!This film provides examples of: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * BookEnds: The movie begins with Lucy going throw mementos from a past breakup and ends with Nick presenting items of [[spoiler: his relationship with Lucy]], with her cutting him off saying he doesn't have to do this since they won't break up. |
| 12 | * BrickJoke: When Nick first shows Lucy the hotel he remarks that everything he owns can fit inside a backpack and that if there was ever a zombie apocalypse he would just leave. At the end of the movie when he is making his own video Lucy references this joke while messing with him. |
| 13 | * CradleOfLoneliness: The mementos making up the gallery all qualify. |
| 14 | * ElectiveMute: Jeff. Stated to be the whole reason his girlfriend Amanda likes him. Broken after the below Side Bet entry, he turns out to be quite chatty. |
| 15 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 16 | ** Lucy treats the monopoly memento in the beginning very different from the others and her friends quickly stop making fun of it. [[spoiler: It is from her first heartbreak, her mom who developed Alzheimer's and whose memory loss started Lucy's memento collecting habit.]] |
| 17 | ** Nick showing Lucy the neon sign shop like he has something for her when he picks up the hotel sign foreshadows [[spoiler: his renaming the hotel after her exhibit with a neon sign from the same shop.]] |
| 18 | ** When [[spoiler: Chloe]] shows up at the hotel looking for Nick, and Lucy not knowing who she is offers to take a message. |
| 19 | * LoveHurts: Many characters are hit by this. Giving up the mementos and acknowledging this helps many of them move on. |
| 20 | %% * NiceGuy: Nick. |
| 21 | * TheOneThatGotAway: Just about every character has one. |
