* AllTakeAndNoGive: Both Jon and Barbara are guilty of this in varying degrees: [[spoiler: Jon gets better about it, Barbara doesn't.]]
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Barbara, who has the very Jewish-sounding surname of "Sugarman" and seems mystified at Jon's post-confession penance. (Creator/ScarlettJohansson, who plays her, is Jewish.)

* DoubleEntendre: Right before the ''JizzedInMyPants'' moment explained below, Barbara tells Jon "I can let you [[StealthPun come]] inside yet." In other words, Barbara is telling him that until they take their relationship to the next level, that is the furthest he's going to get.

* JizzedInMyPants: Happens to Jon after he and Barbara engage in some dry-humping outside her apartment. [[spoiler:We later see this isn't the first time something like that hasn't happened to Jon]].

* MenCantKeepHouse: Subverted in that Jon's a neat freak. Fully subverted when Jon explains that he LIKES to keep his apartment clean with Barbara saying that cleaning up is for maids.

Jon Martello, Jr. is a modern-day DonJuan who loves his body, his pad, his [[CoolCar ride]], his family, [[RealMenLoveJesus his church]], his [[HeterosexualLifePartner boys]], his [[TheCasanova girls]] and most especially his porn. But soon he realizes his life is feeling rather empty, so he decides to try searching for a more meaningful relationship, while learning about himself in the process.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Barbara, who has the very Jewish-sounding surname of "Sugarman" and seems mystified at Jon's post-confession penance. (Scarlett Johansson, who plays her is Jewish.)

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of romantic comedies in general. Also, within the movie, Jon realizes that romantic movies distort women's expectations of what romantic relationships should be in a similar way to how porn distorts sex for men.

* HypocriticalHumor: Jon is incredulous that his dad doesn't know about [=TiVo=] or that Barbara doesn't know about Swiffers. But he doesn't even know that his web browser has a history.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailer puts a lot of focus on Jon and Barbara's relationship, [[spoiler:but in the actual film, they break up at around the midway point, and Esther becomes Jon's new love interest]].

** PlayedForDrama with Jon losing his cool on the way to Sunday Church and Confessional. Most of the times he just curses the other driver out, but after the breakup with Barbara he walks up to and busts the window of a Prius. [[spoiler:After making love with Esther he sings along with a dance music song on the way to church.]]

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Barbara, who has the very Jewish-sounding surname of "Sugarman" and seems mystified at Jon's post-confession penance.

** PlayedForDrama with Jon's Sunday confessionals. He repeatedly confesses his indulgences in sex and pornography, and happily accepts his penance every time. Eventually, however, he confesses [[spoiler:his more meaningful lovemaking with Esther]] and objects when the priest gives the usual penance.
