• Crowning Moment of Funny: "Volume One: 'Get a Grip!'."
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: When Cameron tells poor, insecure Emily she was Beautiful All Along.
• Values Dissonance: The film has an unfortunate tendency to reinforce stereotypes about what types of personal traits, interests, tastes, etc. are inherently "gay", even as it mocks its characters' espousal of those same stereotypes.
  • Given that the screenwriter is openly gay, this could just be Rule of Funny.
  • Howard embodies many of the stereotypes, but Peter is about as Straight Gay as it's possible to be while still sleeping with men. The humor is not in laughing at gay stereotypes, it's that Howard is so stereotypically gay (minus a lisp and a job as an interior decorator) and yet hardly anybody seemed to notice, including him, until someone pointed it out.
