Line 22:
* [[Expy]]: Averted. Stephen and Bunny vaguely resemble [[The Mighty Boosh|two much more famous characters]] looks wise, but in terms of personality the characters could not be more different.
* [[Fan Service]]: Bunny spends a LOT of time with his shirt off, or unbuttoned, he even appears naked once or twice. Played for laughs, though.
* [[Friends
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Bunny and Stephen. The two have an extremely intense relationship, making The ending even more tragic. There's also some doubt on the heterosexual part, at least for Bunny
* [[Hollywood Sex]]: Totally subverted. When Eloisa and Stephen do have sex, it's terribly awkward and unromantic, but somehow still endearing
* [[Ho Yay]]: Oh so much. It's suggested a couple of times that Bunny is a bit attracted to Stephen, he calls him 'Gorgeous,' suggests they make out and, ''lies naked on top of Stephen with his face inches from his, and seems about to kiss him'', and Stephen doesn't push him off until the very last second; it's implied more would have happened if Stephen has not pushed him off.
* [[Jerk
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Stephen for Eloisa, probably. It's later vaguely hinted that she felt the same, but it doesn't stop the movie from implying that they aren't right for each other
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: deconstructed with Eloisa
Line 36:
** Julian Barrett as the Russian tramp and Richard Ayoade as the curator of the Polish National Museum of Shoes.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Quite a sad example. Eloisa is initially oblivious to Stephen's love for her. As Stephen becomes more and more depressed and finally gives up, it is switched and Stephen becomes oblivious to Eloisa's love for ''him''
* [[Only Known
* [[Road Movie]]: Albeit an unconventional one.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Subverted with Eloisa; she appears shallow at first, but it becomes apparent later on that she has some major issues.
