Tropes for the film:
- Becoming the Mask: Ashley appears to have only been pretending to be a psychic at first, until she meets Kate and demonstrates actual abilities.
- Butt-Monkey: Ashley, thanks to Kate using her ghost abilities to humiliate or harass her.
- Dead Person Conversation: Kate tries to sabotage Henry's current relationship with Ashley, a psychic.
- Death by Looking Up: Kate, the Villain Protagonist, dies at the beginning of the film because she just stood there staring at the falling statue, even though she had plenty of time to get out of the way.
- Didn't Think This Through: Dan spends years pretending he's gay to stay close to Ashley, even though this automatically makes it difficult for him to have a relationship with her.
- Fatal Flaw: Kate's inability to listen not only causes her death, it also keeps her from getting crucial information she needs into get into the afterlife.
- Heel Realisation: Kate's encounters with other ghosts help her realise that her real goal is to help Henry move on.
- Mistaken for Gay: Ashley's best friend Dan, who goes along with her assumption that he's gay to stay close to her.
- Modesty Towel: When Ashley is showering at the gym, her boyfriend's Psycho Ex-Girlfriend, Kate, does a fake announcement of there being an emergency evacuation, that only Ashley can hear since Kate is a ghost that is only visible to her. Ashley then rushes out of the showers in a panic, with just a small towel around her hips and one arm barely covering her soapy breasts. She's naturally mortified when she finds there's nothing wrong and everyone is staring at her like she's insane.
- Possession Levitation: Invoked. When trying to scare Ashley off from dating her former fiancé Henry, Kate takes advantage of the fact that as a psychic Ashley is still able to perceive her despite being a ghost. Thus she poses as a client and pretends to be possessed to deliver a message warning Ashley of a horrible fate if she continues "falsely speaking for the dead", climaxing in her levitating into the air as the icing on the cake.
- Skewed Priorities: Immediately after her death, Kate misses the chance to learn how she can properly pass on to Heaven because she's fixated on the idea that the woman she's talking to can't be an angel because she doesn't have wings.
- Spot the Impostor: The best description for how Henry realises that Ashley may be a real psychic; she claimed that she got most of her facts about Kate from a journal, but the journal doesn't mention a certain incident.
