** Leo and Stargirl’s fallout from their breakup is lessened in the movie with Leo realizing the error of his ways and makes up with Stargirl at the winter dance. [[spoiler:But this doesn’t stop her from leaving.]] In the original book, Leo realizes his error too late and they never do make it up, but the book ends on an ambiguous, but hopeful note.

* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: We never learn what became of Stargirl's father. He's just not around, for one reason or another.

* CompressedAdaptation: The book takes place over the course of a school year from the beginning to the prom, the film condenses it to the start of the year to winter. As a result, it's only one incident that causes Stargirl’s classmates to begin shunning her, while in the book it was multiple games of her cheering for the other team on top her [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} cloudcuckoolander]] antics beginning to feel like an act. The Hot Seat interview is ''tame'' compared to the [[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer episode]] it became in the book and Stargirl never really explains why she chooses a new name or that she's outgrown a few others before Stargirl. Even Stargirl's time as Susan Caraway is greatly condensed, lasting weeks in the books, but only a day or two at most in the movie. The last chapter also goes into greater detail about how Mica High has changed in the fifteen years since Stargirl left and little glimpses into Leo's life since. The movie doesn't mention much about the changes beyond the school winning more events and Leo's post-high school life only mentions college.

* NiceGirl: Stargirl is highly compassionate toward others, getting them gifts and trying to better things even when she doesn't know them. It gets her into trouble a couple times, due to things she didn't know or showing sympathy other people do not share.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: When a player on a rival team playing her school's was hurt, Stargirl rushes over to see if he's okay. Then she goes off with him in the ambulance. Everyone from her school views this as a betrayal since she's their good luck charm, keeping morale up. Without her, they lost. Later it turns out that her giving a bike to Hillari's little brother was {{innocently insensitive}} as they'd given this away after he was hurt while riding.

* UptightLovesWild: Leo is a fairly quiet, reserved boy who goes with the flow. Stargirl is highly eccentric, outgoing and independent. They fall for each other and have a sweet relationship.

''Stargirl'' is a 2020 romance film based on the 2002 Creator/JerrySpinelli children's book ''Literature/{{Stargirl}}''.

* UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: Stargirl the BlitheSpirit has a pet rat named Cinnamon who she often carries around.

* AdaptationNameChange: In the book, the school's football team was called the Electrons, in honor of electronics being the town's primary export. The movie changes it to the Mudfrogs.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Archie's heavily implied to have passed away between showing Leo Stargirl's office and the book's epilogue. Not only is there no such implication in the movie, but he also comes across as a couple of decades younger than his book counterpart.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The rift that formed between Leo and Stargirl as a result of being shunned by the student body for being her boyfriend, while still present, isn't as massive an issue like it is in the book.

* CompressedAdaptation: The book takes place over the course of an entire school year. As a result, the Mica High shun Stargirl over one moment of empathy for the opposing football team over the several weeks and games of it. Her time as Susan Caraway lasts only one day while she went by Susan for most of the second half of the school year in the book. Same with the last chapter of the book, which covers the changes of Mica High fifteen years after Stargirl leaves, the movie's epilogue largely focuses on Leo during his college years.
