 Adaptation Distillation: Distills the two memoirs this film is based on into a single narrative.

 Casting Gag: Steve Carell and Amy Ryan, who portray ex-spouses here, previously played the eventually-married Michael Scott and Holly Flax on The Office, though their story was far less tragic than this one.

 Deuteragonist: David and Nic. Justified since the movie pulls from both their memoirs about the same subject, i.e. Nic's drug addiction. David serves as the audience surrogate while Nic is the titular beautiful boy.

 Addled Addict / Functional Addict: Nic wavers between these throughout the film, settling at "addled" by the end when he overdoses and nearly dies.

 Dark and Troubled Past: Averted in regards to Nic's addiction. He's shown to have had a fairly standard childhood with loving parents, but fell into addiction despite it. Truth in Television for many (if not most) people struggling with addiction.
