| Keith | comment |
This is the film description scene.Keith is a 2008 romantic drama starring Elisabeth Harnois and Jesse McCartney (yes, that Jesse McCartney).Natalie Anderson (Harnois) is the perfect high-school student — straight A's, varsity tennis player, member of the yearbook club, etc. Naturally, her boyfriend is the equally impressive and attractive Hispanic jock Raphael. But unbeknownst to her, fellow student Keith Zetterstrom (McCartney) has made plans to "have fun with her", and a seemingly innocuous assignment as lab partners turns into a bizarre friendship which changes Natalie's life — apparently for the worse — as her picture-perfect life gives way to an insatiable curiosity about Keith and the secrets he's keeping. | |

Character Development | |
| Keith / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Natalie learns to live her own life rather than what her parents had planned out for her as she grows closer to Keith. With Keith, although he's long since accepted his impending death, he finds one last reason to live as he falls in love with Natalie despite his frustration that he doesn't have enough time to enjoy their relationship. The last we see of him, he finally returns Natalie's feelings and accepts that she's willing to stay with him for however long he has left. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| Keith / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: Natalie was so close to making a clean break from Keith, until a car drives by his truck and a kid alights from it, gushing about playing video games with Keith. This sudden glimpse of a softer side of Keith changes Natalie's mind and further heightens her curiosity about him. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Keith dies, and Natalie now owns his truck, after having successfully reconstructed the carburetor and installed it with the help of Keith's dad.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Keith / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Keith, who calls out random scenes when he's with Natalie, including a "picnic scene" (doing their assignment in a conference room) and a bowling scene (which they decide to save, instead opting to leave bowling balls on people's front porches). Once he stops doing this, it falls to Natalie to create the "goodbye scene". | |

Bavarian Fire Drill | |
| Keith / int_62fd5552 | comment |
Bavarian Fire Drill: On a whim, Keith takes Natalie to some random office building, walks right in and finds a conference room to sit in while they continue working on their lab assignment. They get thrown out by security a short time later, but the scene encourages Natalie to get used to going along with Keith's bizarre improvisational antics. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Keith gives a very mean one to Natalie when she contrives a "goodbye scene" after she finds out that he's dying. Natalie doesn't buy it for a second and correctly assumes that Keith is just hiding his true emotions. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Keith / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: The first scenes of the movie basically describe both Natalie and Keith, particularly how disparate their lives are from one another. Natalie is the quintessential high-school overachiever, while Keith appears to be a charmingly irreverent jerk whose bad attitude is excused by the adults around him for some unknown reason. | |
