* EndsWithASmile: The movie ends with Liz smiling as she blames Philippa for what happened and manages to escape unscathed and without any charges. An alternate ending also ends with a smile, this time as Liz (now a blonde), meets a boy at her new school who is implied to be a ReplacementGoldfish for her previous obsession, Mike.

** Martyn, relatively. In the book, although it's suggested that [[spoiler:he may not even exist]], he is portrayed both as an irredeemable sociopath and a ''rapist''; in the book, he is merely [[spoiler:Liz's patsy]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Liz in the book is never confirmed to be [[spoiler:evil or in any way responsible for what happened, although it's definitely a possibility.]]

* CoitusUninterruptus: Mike and Liz have to sit in the same room and try to sleep while Frankie and Geoff go at it. Liz opens her bed covers and looks pointedly at Mike, wanting to drown out Frankie and Geoff's noises with some of their own, but [[NotDistractedByTheSexy Mike turns her down]]. Averted when Geoff interrupts Mike and Liz getting into some heavy petting by telling them [[MoodWhiplash that Frankie is very sick]].
