* StepServant: While Charlie isn't shown waiting on his stepfamily, he is expected to work the family's restaurant and do a variety of chores every day for no pay. His stepfather, Arthur, clearly sees him as little more than an employee because he constantly threatens to dock his pay (which Charlie has to remind him doesn't exist) and taunts him about things like getting a "promotion" when he has to run karaoke, or how he'll be the one cleaning out his stepbrother's dressing rooms when they make it big.

* PublicityStuntRelationship: Kadee and Finn were both in a contractually obligated "relationship" for the cameras. This was frustrating for Kadee, who absolutely ''hated'' Finn for his ItsAllAboutMe attitude and ego. The longer she spends time with Charlie, she grows increasingly unhappy being with Finn and eventually calls out the fact that their relationship is just a business arrangement, and that they otherwise don't even talk. At the end, she's able to happily be with Charlie, and Finn is left holding interviews about how Kadee is ''definitely'' going to want him back.

* {{Slapstick}}: There's quite a bit of physical comedy in this movie, from Lloyd smacking his head into a microphone to Charlie stumbling backwards into his janitor's cart while talking to Kadee. [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender Kadee herself isn't immune either]]; she smacks her head into Charlie's and gets shoved off of a bench.

* PlotHole: There's a lot of questions raised by Andrew and Arthur's plan in the end, specifically about how and why certain things happen:
** Arthur managed to acquire keys to a closet in the venue none of them have ever visited before, allowing him to lock Charlie in the closet. There's no explanation of where these keys came from or how he has them; he just does.
** They brought Lloyd with them, despite making it very clear later on that they had no intention of doing an Android show, begging the question of why he was there, except for plot convenience.
** When Charlie heads back to the Palace after Andrew is announced as Rags, there's a "Congratulations Andrew" banner hanging up. It's never explained who hung up this banner or when, as the only possible candidates wouldn't have known about it (Charlie, Lloyd), wouldn't have agreed to do it, (Diego, Martha), or wouldn't have wanted to put in the effort (Andrew, Arthur). So who put up the banner?

* AbusiveParents: While most of his nastiness is directed at Charlie, Arthur still has the tendency to pick on Lloyd as well, yelling at him in several scenes and not intervening when Andrew physically attacks him. At the end, when Lloyd starts spilling his secret to Charlie, he snaps at him and Lloyd recoils in fear, protected by Diego and Martha. His treatment of him brings Lloyd and Charlie closer together, in fact; after shouting at him during a rehearsal, a dejected Lloyd seeks comfort in talking to Charlie, who witnessed the whole thing and can certainly relate.

* AllegianceAffirmation: Throughout the film, Lloyd has proven to feel sympathy for Charlie, but he's also stuck following his dad and brother- the ones antagonizing Charlie. When they both turn on him and kick him out of Android, he finally turns on them in response, announcing to an entire crowd of people that Arthur had been lying to Charlie for years. He ends the film as a backup dancer for Charlie, cementing their new relationship.
