  • The first television commercial is nominated.
  • The prostitute’s chaotic visit to Bob’s room is nominated as a funny scene.
  • Kelly’s first encounter with John and Charlotte is nominated, particularly Charlotte’s silent expressions of disgust and irritation.
  • Kelly’s cleanse discussion leading into Charlotte joining Bob for his prison-break remark is nominated.
  • The night out and karaoke are nominated, including Costello, Ferry, the Pretenders, a restrained More Than This, and the tender shoulder-rest afterward.
  • The sushi scene is nominated for its apparently improvised humor and Bob making Charlotte laugh about her injured toe.
  • Faris singing karaoke is another candidate.
  • The bed conversation is praised for reassurance about identity and the photography-phase observation.
  • The bed conversation’s description of parenthood is called a perfect, brief account of the experience; the scene reportedly required another attempt after initially failing to find its chemistry.
  • Charlotte walking around Tokyo with only music is nominated.
  • Charlotte teasing Bob after his hookup is nominated, including their barbed comments about age and attention.
  • The last hotel-bar night and elevator goodbye are nominated.
  • The ending is acknowledged as the obvious answer, though other personal choices follow.
  • The solitary golf swing is nominated through a spouse’s suggestion; the claim that Murray did it in one take is explicitly unverified.
  • Karaoke is the preferred scene, linking Murray’s comic singing to his SNL nightclub singer and then the emotional More Than This.
  • Brass in Pocket and the exchange over being special make karaoke a personal first choice.
  • One ranking puts karaoke first, lying in bed second, and the ending third; all three are described as essential to the film.
  • The ending is praised for its withheld dialogue, the decision not to unite the couple, and Murray’s joyful yet complicated expression as he walks away.
