* TeenyWeenie: One of the pieces of behind-the-scenes footage [[spoiler:that Weismann recorded without anybody knowing or consenting]] is Gwen talking to Kiki about Hector about their love life, and when Kiki asks about Hector's penis size, Gwen pulls out a very compact lipstick and tells him it's this huge. Hector is incensed enough [[SkewedPriorities that he feels the need to tell the press that his penis is not that small]] in the middle of the chaos that erupts when the light come back on.

Added DiffLines:

* PublicityStuntRelationship: Eddie Thomas and Gwen Harris, a very famous Hollywood couple, have split and Gwen has moved on to Hector. However, the executive wants to release the last film they made together, so a publicist wrangles them into a PR "reconciliation" to help promote the movie.

Kiki isn't an actress so Nice Character Mean Actor doesn't apply to her.


* BitchInSheepsClothing: Gwen to the movie going public. Kiki claims she had a "Miss Adorable Image" until her affair with Hector.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Gwen to the movie going public. Kiki claims she had a "Miss Adorable Image" until her affair with Hector. Gwen accuses Kiki of being the same way, but the only time Kiki lashes out is at the end of the movie when she finally gets sick of how Gwen treats her.



* NiceCharacterMeanActor: ''Gwen.'' To a ''T'' (and combines with BitchInSheepsClothing to be the point of the movie). She may play the sweet and gorgeous romantic lead on screen, but everybody around her, from her publicist to her lover, knows what a pain in the ass she is to deal with. She also thinks Kiki is this.

* RecycledInSpace: In universe example. Eddie and Gwen's film, ''Time After Time'' [[spoiler: or at least the movie they were supposed to make]] is a pretty obvious rip-off of ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' with Nazis.

* AllThereInTheManual / WordOfGod: It's never stated in the movie, but various sources say "Kiki" is short for "Kathleen."

* AnalogyBackfire: One without the backfire actually pointed out ''but...''Gwen, while delivering her usual BS to a member of the press, compares her relationship with Eddie to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah Sodom and Gomorrah.]] Oh ''really?'' The two cities God destroyed by raining down fire and brimstone to consume them? ''That'' Sodom and Gomorrah, Gwen? (Though given how badly her relationship ended, it may be more apt than she realizes.)
