* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** "I have been looking for you all night... and, I believe, all of my life."
** There's the bittersweet parting between Guinevere and Delysia where they realise that they'll never see each other again most likely. But Guinevere assures her she'll never forget their day together - and she's clearly proud of Delysia for making the right choice.
** When Miss Pettigrew first meets Joe, she is (unwittingly) wearing a scarf designed by him. When he compliments how it looks on her, she reveals that it's probably the most beautiful thing she's ever worn. Obviously used to what he thinks is the same old insincere flannel he always gets at these kind of events, Joe tosses back a casual thank you... only to discover from her amazed reaction when he reveals he designed it that she genuinely had no idea who he is, and that her compliment was therefore entirely sincere.
-->'''Joe:''' ''[Amazed]'' You really didn't know... well, that is a compliment indeed, madam. Thank you.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Meta-example. One day during filming, Lee Pace was lounging around behind the scenes, only to be told he had to go home. Why? Amy Adams was so distracted by EatingTheEyeCandy she was flubbing her takes. Watch any interview that discusses it and witness her face go redder than her hair.

* ValuesDissonance: 70 years passed between the writing of the book and the making of the movie. Consequently, when the movie came about, some of the sentiments expressed in the book (particularly about Jews and foreigners) had disappeared. It's not hard to see why. There remains some DeliberateValuesDissonance, mainly in that attitudes of the sexes about appropriate touching and honesty between genders.

Added DiffLines:

* GirlShowGhetto: Amy Adams disliked that the film was labelled a ChickFlick by some critics because it had two women as the leads.


Added DiffLines:

* NarmCharm: Shirley Henderson's take on Edythe is very pantomimey but not enough to ruin the film.

* {{Tearjerker}}:
** The song number "If I Didn't Care". It clearly pains Delysia to sing such a song when she's still heartbroken over Michael. It morphs into a Heartwarming Moment as, through the course of the song, she realises she ''does'' love him.
** Also the quiet exchange between Miss Pettigrew and Joe, the oldest characters in the movie who lived through UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, when the "young set" are pointing excitedly at the planes flying overhead:
-->'''Guinevere''': They don't remember the last one, do they.
-->'''Joe''': No. They don't.
** Later, they watch the spotlights in the sky above the club, and ask each other if they lost anyone in the Great War.
-->'''Joe''': Damn near every school friend I had.
** Guinevere describing TheLostLenore she lost during the war; she says he didn't make very much money but he loved her and "had a lovely smile, and we could have built a life on that."
