Tropes for the film:

  • Accidental Marriage: A rare instance of a woman unwittingly married to a scheming man, Patrick arranges to become married to Emma, a host of a relationship talk show, as payback for having advised his girlfriend to break up with him.
  • Big Applesauce: Takes place in New York City.
  • Oops! I Forgot I Was Married: In this case, the title is sort of misleading: Emma is a relationship talk show host who advises one of her listeners, Sofia, to breakup with her boyfriend. When said boyfriend, Patrick, learns the host is about to get married, he gets his revenge by having his friend, Deep, hack into a government database and list her as married to him. "Hilarity" Ensues.
  • Rom Com Job: She works for radio.
  • Tagline: "Falling in love...even the expert is confused".
