!!This film contains examples of the following tropes:
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Ann is drinking at a bar when an unnamed Spanish-Canadian hairdresser sits down next to her, tells her the story of the downfall of Milli Vanilli, and then gets up onstage and dances to a song by said band. Never spoken of again or explained, except for Ann at one point describing the world briefly as "Milli Vanilli everywhere".
* BlackComedy: Ann asks an adult blonde nurse with glasses if she knows what it's like to be standing outside at school alone, waiting to be picked up by her parents (Ann fears being late to pick up her daughters from school). A brief cut shows a little blonde kindergartener with glasses, standing in the frost alone outside a school building with frozen snot on her nose, after which Ann's nurse says, "yeah, I do" and rushes Ann's appointment in.
* LastDayToLive: Basically the main premise of the film; Ann has terminal ovarian cancer and will die in a month or two.
* SympatheticAdulterer: Ann sleeps with another man repeatedly, despite having a loving and devoted husband already, but she's portrayed as sympathetic because she was a teenage mother and is now dying at a young age.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: Dr. Thompson is a minor character whose role garners a great deal of sympathy, as he is truly the only other person besides Ann herself who knows about Ann's impending death.
* YouAreFat: Ann's friend Laurie, a stocky woman who constantly fears being fat, eats 8 spare-ribs at a dinner she's invited to. Ann's daughter Patsy gleefully remarks, "you're a pig!" to the woman, who is then later seen eating nothing but carrot sticks.
