Foregone Conclusion: The film opens with Duncan poisoning himself over having failed five romances. The romances are doomed, but Duncan himself is not. | |

Flat Character | |
| My Last Five Girlfriends / int_3d5c5deb | comment |
Flat Character: The first four girlfriends don’t do much beyond fulfilling a trope or its deconstruction. Gemma is the last one, and has the most character depth and the most impact on Duncan. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| My Last Five Girlfriends / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In Rhona’s case, just because two people are attracted by being polar opposites doesn’t mean they can stay together. | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character | |
| My Last Five Girlfriends / int_517d2eb8 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Rhona and Natalie, Duncan’s third and fourth girlfriends. While Rhona was too difficult and an argument ended things, Natalie was too easy and didn’t mind when Duncan shifted his interest to Gemma. | |

Opposites Attract | |
| My Last Five Girlfriends / int_711714da | comment |
Opposites Attract: Invoked and deconstructed. Duncan’s relationship with Rhona was founded on their contrasts, but it breaks them up too: neither of them can compromise nor settle a dispute over a pair of shoes and how pretty/ugly they are. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| My Last Five Girlfriends / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Duncan takes Gemma on an expensive holiday to Paris, to smooth over his belief that she cheated on him and his guilt at thinking this about her. But she ‘‘did’’ cheat on him, and it increases her guilt over her infidelity and ultimately leads to her ending the relationship.. | |

Insecure Love Interest | |
| My Last Five Girlfriends / int_a16d511d | comment |
Insecure Love Interest: Duncan serves as this, as he does his best to gauge his partners’ wishes but keeps failing. Gemma turns out to be this too: she explains that Duncan was too forgiving and nice to her, and she couldn’t bear the guilt of cheating on him. | |

Death by Despair: Duncan. He gets over it. The trope is also played with, as he discusses whether he was truly desperate or just being melodramatic. | |

Hard Truth Aesop: Love is difficult and doesn’t always work out, no matter how hard you try. If you can’t be happy with other people, then it’s okay to be happy with just yourself. | |

Le Film Artistique: The film is partly set within Duncan’s mindscape, and it takes the form of an amusement park where he imagines his relationships as theme rides. At his last breakup, he is seen tearing down the park in tears. | |
