* AffectionateParody: Played with in the "Expectation versus Reality" sequences. The Expectation parts follow this by showing what it would be like if it was part of a legitimate RomanticComedy - what Tom ''thinks'' he's in: occasionally emotional, at times cheesy, [[UnreliableNarrator almost always in his favor]]. The Reality parts subvert or deconstruct those, usually by Tom messing up a line, not looking as suave as he thinks he is, or even failing to act at all because he's so flustered.

* CharacterDevelopment: As the film progresses, Tom matures greatly. He stops seeing women as objects that he can project his ideals onto, and drops his ItsAllAboutMe attitude towards his relationship with Summer. He also is able to turn his life around, quitting his job in the greeting card company and pursuing a job as an architect, which is what he wants to do. His growth in the film is best illustrated in [[spoiler:his final conversation with Summer]], where he genuinely wishes her to be happy, and when he [[spoiler:asks out Autumn without hesitation and doesn't get angry when she initially rejects him.]]
