It’s the Fourth of July, and the New York tenements are having a block party; before the party really gets going, Molly (Gaynor) accidently meets her crush, millionaire Jack Cromwell (Farrell). They hit it off big time, and Jack is impressed with her singing, so he invites her to Southampton, where he can use her talents for a carnival show and, most importantly, to make his fiancée, Jane, jealous.

This is the fifth team up (out of their 12 films) between Gaynor and Farrell, and it’s the first film to show off their voices, too. Unlike other musical films of the time, this one has the distinction to have decent camera work for the early sound era, and four [[BreakawayPopHit hits]], including “(Keep Your) Sunnyside Up,” “I’m a Dreamer, Aren’t We All, “Turn on the Heat,” and “If I Had a Talking Picture of You.”

!!Sunny Side Up demonstrates the following Tropes:
*BetaCouple: Bea (Molly’s friend and roommate) and Ed.
*CrowdSong: After singing “(Keep You) Sunnyside Up”, Molly invites the crowd to sing the chorus with her. They all join, but she stops the show when she sees one man isn’t smiling and makes him smile to continue the song.
*LetsPutOnAShow: Two examples: the neighbourhood block party for the poor people in NYC, and the Carnival show for the rich in Southampton.
*LovesMeNot: The song “You’ve Got Me Pickin’ Petals O’Daisies”.

*TheMusical: One of the early ones.
*TheMusicalMusical: Molly is a performer for her neighbourhood, so naturally Jack wants her to be in the Carnival show his family is putting on.
*MsFanservice: Not only do we see Ms. Gaynor in her slip, but the big production number of “Turn on the Heat” is ripe with scantily clad dancers and not too subtle imagery.
*TheOner: The film begins with a tracking shot of the tenements as kids run around on the street and the camera goes in and out of people’s windows during the hot Fourth of July.
*OperationJealousy: Not only does Jack want to bring Molly to Southampton to star in the carnival but also to help him make his fiancée jealous. It works, but Jack ends up not disliking the choice he made.
*ShoutOut: Bea mentions Creator/JohnGilbert as an example of the unattainable she's usually infatuated with. Jack Cromwell becomes the next one when she seems him in the newspaper.
