- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Kyle's sister dressing up like anime characters for her boyfriend.
- Cliché Storm: The film has been criticized for basically being a Disney Channel movie that made it to the big screen, due to the trailer including many tired plot beats: an unpopular guy becomes popular through magical means, a Love Triangle between him, the Alpha Bitch and the Nice Girl ensues, he realizes that the popularity isn't what he wanted and resolves to get his old life back.
- Ham and Cheese: Famke Janssen was clearly having fun in the scene where her character (Katherine, Charlotte's mom) tries to seduce Kyle.
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: The film's similarity to the Disney Channel movie Zapped with Zendaya in terms of its overall concept hasn't gone unnoticed.
- Tainted by the Preview: The trailer hasn't exactly been well-received, due to it showcasing many unoriginal clichés of typical teen movies, as noted above.
