- Lucy's early bedside speech to the comatose Peter, about loneliness, is called extremely moving and the center of a movie about loneliness, grief and family; Saul looking over her adds to it.
- Jack and Lucy slipping on the ice as he walks her home after delivering the love seat is a favorite, recalling Cameron Diaz's physical comedy in The Holiday and showing their palpable chemistry.
- While You Were Sleeping, The Holiday and Sleepless in Seattle are noted as available on Showtime.
- The ice scene is the moment the romance becomes clear, though visible non-iced sidewalks sit on either side; the hosts say Chicago had an unseasonably warm fall during the shoot, so the cold was faked.
- The one-testicle scene, where Lucy volunteers that Peter lost a testicle in a freak basketball accident with a pencil and the family jokes about who will check, is praised as good writing.
- The hosts say the writers wrote 20 scripts together and this was the only one ever made.
- The wedding that isn't, where Lucy objects at her own wedding, is a favorite rom-com wedding scene; one host calls the ill-fitting sailor-collar dress one of the worst movie wedding dresses, while the other likes it.
- The confession to the whole family pairs with the coma speech and is compared to Tom Hanks's final scene in You've Got Mail: a character confessing unforgivable things done for love, which only great actors can sell.
- The family ensemble is underrated; having everyone in the room makes it the best-scripted scene, and the real fiancee storming in makes it the most rewatchable too.
- Saul, played by Jack Warden, telling Peter in the hospital not to be an asshole is another sweet option.
- The wedding scene ultimately takes the cake; a host adds that Peter Gallagher is just lying there in a coma through it.
