!!''Just the Way You Are'' contains examples of:
* ACupAngst: Susan's ballerina friend Lisa used to stuff her shirt with Kleenex before all her dates and hope the boy didn't try to cop a feel.
* AndStarring: Also starring Kaki Hunter… and Creator/RobertCarradine as "Sam Carpenter."
* TheBeard: At the beginning of the movie, Susan is engaged to her gay friend Frank Bantam (Creator/TimDaly). They break up a few weeks before the wedding when he finds her with another man and they realize they won't be able to satisfy each other.
* BetterThanSex: At one point, the skier François Rossignol says that the feeling of taking off ski boots is better than sex. Peter replies, "Bad sex."
* TheBigRace: Susan participates in a race for people with broken legs. All the other racers wipe out, usually within a few dozen feet of the starting line. Susan manages to win the race by moving as slowly as possible and being the only person to make it to the finish line.
* DiegeticSwitch: A few seconds into Susan's first European recital, the scene changes to her walking down the street while her music plays in the background.
* TheMistress: One woman at the ski resort is having an affair with a married man. He was supposed to come to the resort, but his wife got sick, and his mistress was forced to room with Susan because she didn't have anywhere else to go.
* ModestyBedsheet: Susan and Peter use a his 'n' hers bedsheet after they have sex.
* NakedInMink: Susan hangs out in her room at the ski lodge wearing a fur coat and nothing else.
* OpenFlyGag: Susan and Frank attend a party with Frank's boss Earl. When Susan notices that Earl's fly is open, neither of them wants to mention it, so Susan pretends to drop food in his lap and then zips his fly while picking it up.
* SnowballFight: When Peter asks Susan what happened to her leg, Susan throws a snowball at him. Peter retaliates with a much bigger snowball.
* TitleDrop: During their breakup, Susan tells Frank, "You know, it's just possible they're willing to accept you just the way you are down there in Texas."
