Yay, you saw it! Your reaction seems to be mostly like mine--I was pretty impressed, even though there were a few unnecessary scenes (like the sex; I'll buy the need for nudity in the scene where Tish is almost assaulted, for the sense of betrayal/vulnerability, but not for the other ones).
As for what may have bugged you on a personal level, are we talking about the movie/characters dissing Jen's Christian background? *refrains from getting more specific*
I was a bit unsettled (or annoyed?) that Priestly had to change to get Tish to notice him, but I do agree that it goes along with the theme that everyone is hiding something or hiding from something. Also, I love that the film tackles both sides (male and female) of issues like attractiveness and stereotyping because of it. \o/
