* FridgeBrilliance: The second time Ronny takes Loretta to his bed, after the "storybooks are bullshit!" speech, he offers her his maimed hand, as if to tell her, "You had a tragic end with your OneTrueLove -- so did I. We need each other."

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Loretta falling in love with Ronny, in spite of her engagement to Johnny, is portrayed as a love story.[[note]]To be fair, 1) Loretta's not married (though being engaged is pretty close), 2) Loretta isn't exactly pleased with the situation, and 3) Johnny pretty much walks away from her to go to Italy and barely contacts her afterwards.[[/note]] Cosmo cheating on his wife Rose with Mona… not so much.



* [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct They Really Can Act]]: Cher and even Nic Cage to a certain extent. While Cher is more obvious with her Oscar, Cage up to that point had been known for very odd and off kilter roles until this film (where he still plays such a character) which showed his range and got him a Golden Globe nomination. The film was also Olympia Dukakis' coming out party as an actress; watch her eyes when Johnny wonders if men cheat because they fear death.

* NarmCharm: The film opening with Music/DeanMartin singing, "That's Amore!", which is so corny it loops around to self-parody, letting the viewer know this film is going to be as Italian as possible.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Suprisingly, Nic Cage's speech following the opera (a snippet of which is quoted above) to Cher.
** The ending, when Grandpa consoles [[spoiler: Johnny]].
--->'''Grandpa:''' Don't you see now? You are a part of the family!
*** Then [[spoiler: Johnny]] takes part in the family celebration, toasting, "To the family!"

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Pretty much anything involving Loretta's grandfather, especially this moment where he has a tissue over his eyes;
--> '''Cosmo:''' What's wrong, pop?
--> '''Grandpa:''' I'm confused.
** Or Rose's warning to Grandpa.
--->'''Rose:''' Old man, you feed those dogs another piece of my food, I'm gonna kick you til you're dead!
** When Johnny [[spoiler: breaks off the engagement with Loretta after his mother suddenly recovers when she finds out he's getting married.]]
--->'''Johnny:''' In time, you will see this is the best thing.
--->'''Loretta:''' In time, I'll come to your funeral wearing a red dress!
