I think I've figured out what the man in the coat meant to the
movie and the characters.
The man declares his certainty, his admiration and dedication in a very self assured manner. Even though we know he is a crazy stalker he does seem convincing for a moment. What he is actually doing is being what Antione had aspired to be earlier in the movie.
The certainty and adherence the stalker showed are what Antione wanted to feel earlier. What Christine sees as mad is what Antione wanted to become. For a romantic comedy, this seems to be taking a lot of shots at love and romance.
Our leads are not dedicated for the most part. They don't really like each other all that much. They also cheat and have a lot of confusions about what they want, which most other movies do a bad job of showing or avoid altogether.
Humor too , in most run of the mill romantic movies is made as clean and as clear cut as possible to ensure we never really see anyone do anything that the viewer can call condemn able. This is a rather strange trope considering stupid behavior and love are often said to go hand in hand.
The humor in this movie seems like what you call dark humor yet it manages to be so easily palatable, which makes this movie stand out in a genre saturated with clichés and tropes.
