=== This movie contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Aggressive Categorism]]: Markus is the obvious case, with his inane rant about how women can't possibly understand cellphones and men can't possibly understand makeup. However, it's implied that the people in general are just as narrow-minded, they just don't flaunt it like he does. Life in a small town is hell.
Line 22:
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Jessica has to break up a fight between Markus and another boy who was trying to chat her up
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Elin''': Ta-daaa! This is my girlfriend. Please excuse us, we are going to fuck.}}}}
** Which is followed immediately by {{spoiler|the two girls drinking chocolate milk as Elin babbles about the proper way to make the stuff}}
** "I want to do ''drugs!!''"
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: "You're not ordinary."
* [[Daddy's Girl]]: Agnes.
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Agnes masturbates to Elin's class photo. it's implied that Elin does this to Agnes' photo as well.
* [[Double Entendre]]: The kids chanting for Elin to "come out" of the bathroom
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Markus spends some time comparing the size of his phone to other guys'.
Line 54:
* [[Really Gets Around]]: everyone thinks this about Elin, and Johan's surprised when she's actually a virgin.
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: Averted with Johan who is actually a nice guy who genuinely cares for Elin.
* [[Romantic Runner -Up]]: Johan, who Elin dates, sleeps with, {{spoiler|and then breaks up with to be with Agnes. However, it's implied that he may eventually start dating Jessica.}}
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Agnes and Elin.
* [[Small Town Boredom]]: Elin, hardcore.
Line 60:
* [[Spurned Into Suicide]]: Agnes over Elin's cruelty to her. It's not really a wholehearted attempt, and Elin interrupts it.
** If she intended to commit sucide, then she was doing it wrong. It was more like emo-cutting herself, to balance off emotional pain with the physical one. I don't know the term for it.
* [[Take It to Thethe Bridge]]: It isn't until Elin and Agnes get to the bridge that they really get talking, {{spoiler|make plans to run away to Stockholm, and make out.}}
* [[Title Drop]]: "Why do we have to live in fucking hell dick Åmål?" or words to that effect.
** Elin drops the title exactly in the bridge scene.
