* ShoutOut: A magazine writer suggests publishing a story about a soup vendor whose incredible talent is matched by his incredible temper. According to screenwriter Nora Ephron in the DVD commentary, this is a reference to Al Yeganeh, an actual soup chef in New York who would later garner infamy as the basis for Yev Kassem in the 1995 ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode [[Recap/SeinfeldS7E6TheSoupNazi "The Soup Nazi"]].

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Annie is guilty of a long string of bad behavior, including emotionally cheating on her fiancee and eventually last-minute dumping him with little fanfare or care for his feelings. But since she's the female protagonist of a romantic comedy of course all her actions are considered justified in the pursuit of True Love.

* LousyLoversAreLosers: {{Discussed|Trope}} and [[ZigZaggingTrope ZigZagged]]. Annie's mother mentions how meeting her husband was LoveAtFirstSight but admits that it took several years for things to "work like clockwork" in bed, so Annie shouldn't be worried if it takes a while with [[DisposableFiance her fiancé Walter]]. Annie insists that things ''are'' like clockwork between them... only for a later scene to reveal that she is referring to Walter's nighttime routine of medications, which leave him so tired that they don't have sex ''at all''. Not much wonder that Annie's affections get swayed by a voice on the radio. {{Downplayed|Trope}}, since, other than his blandness, Walter is a perfectly decent guy who [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy lets her go willingly]] once she tells him about her feelings -- just not the one for Annie.
