1* EnsembleDarkHorse: The CloudCuckooLander grandmother has some of the best lines in the film. Especially her ComicallyMissingThePoint observation about Peter's missing testicle.
2-->"At least he has more room in his Jockey shorts!"
3* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRR4to6KcOQ The paperboy crashing]] while delivering the day's papers. It was completely accidental but the director left it in the finished movie.
4* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
5** The wedding scene, [[spoiler:where Lucy confesses her extreme loneliness and how it made her fall in love with the entire Callaghan family]], is both heartwarming and tearjerking.
6** The ending, when [[spoiler:Lucy tells Peter exactly when she fell in love with Jack]].
7** When Lucy spends Christmas with the family.
8** He's bad at it, but it's very sweet when Joe Jr. tries to console Lucy after everything fails.
9* HollywoodHomely: Sandra Bullock is perhaps not the first person who might come to mind if the description "shy, mousy Chicago Transit employee with few close friends" comes up in conversation. The movie addresses this mainly by dressing her down in baggy, unflattering clothing to give the impression of a shy introvert who might actually [[SheCleansUpNicely clean up pretty nicely]] with a bit more confidence.
10* TheWoobie: Lucy. It's hard not to want to give her a hug when she confesses to (the currently comatose) Peter just how lonely and unhappy she is.
