| Picture Day | comment |
A 2012 Canadian teen comedy written, directed and co-produced by Kate Melville. Claire (Tatiana Maslany) is forced to repeat her senior year in high school, but is more interested in smoking pot, pulling pranks, and shacking up with Jim (Steven McCarthy), the leader of a local band. As her "grade 13" commences, Claire realizes that one of the incoming freshman - nerdy, introspective Henry (Spencer Van Wyck) - was a kid she used to babysit. She takes it upon herself to give Henry a popularity makeover, completely unaware of his true feelings towards her.Invokes (but shouldn't be confused with) the actual Picture Day trope. | |

Black Gal on White Guy Drama: Averted. Claire hooks white 'n' nerdy Henry up with black schoolmate Alison; nobody, including Henry's parents, even bat an eyelash. | |

Embarrassing Nickname | |
| Picture Day / int_317629db | comment |
Embarrassing Nickname: Claire is known around the school as "Twist-Off," due to her penchant for giving guys hand jobs. Not surprisingly, it's also her Berserk Button. However... Crosses the Line Twice: On the road trip with the Elastocitizens, Claire regales the band with examples of how she got her nickname. They are alternately bemused and aghast. | |

The Prankster: Early in the film, the principal recites a list of Claire's bad behavior (pulling the fire alarm, stealing costumes from the drama club, etc.). Claire is more amused than ashamed. | |

Letting the Air out of the Band | |
| Picture Day / int_58db779e | comment |
Letting the Air Out of the Band: Five years earlier, the Elastocitizens were buzz-heavy up-and-comers, but have since settled for hometown gigs. They jump at an opportunity to tour (despite the strain it puts on the band members' real lives and jobs), but then see the road trip turn into a disaster of "This Is Spın̈al Tap" proportions. | |

Cellphones Are Useless: Claire and her mother both have pay-as-you-go cell phones, and are constantly trying to hoard their remaining minutes to save money. Later, Claire compounds the problem by using her phone as an MP3 player - and runs down the battery while stranded in the middle of nowhere. | |
