* Navin and Marie's duet on the beach is a strong contender for the most heart-meltingly romantic scene in cinema. Steve Martin himself said it was his favorite scene in the movie.
* An opening scene, where Navin learns he is adopted, has a surprising sweetness to it, even with Navin being... well, [[TheDitz Navin]].
-->'''Navin's Mother:''' You were left on our doorstep. But we raised you like you were one of us!
-->'''Navin:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint ...You mean I'm gonna]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint stay]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint this color?]]
-->'''Navin's Mother:''' Baby, I would love you even if you was the color of a baboon's ass!
* The ending when Navin is reunited with Marie and his family.
* Thought it's [[ComicallyMissingThePoint meant as a joke]], Navin humbly insisting that a charity coming to visit him instead tend to someone more deserving.
* Navin, having finally learned the magic of rhythm, joyfully dancing to his family's blues music on the front porch at the end. He just looks so ''happy''!
