How? If they explained the entire plan before they did it you know it goes wrong. If they don't explain anything, then you know it will work out. Both of these suck.

So the best way to do it is have the plan explained while the plan is executed. This allows things to go wrong unexpectedly.

I used to hate this trope but it's actually pretty legit. Once you're suicidal and go to a bar, you become this chick magnet all of a sudden. Without even trying.

It sounds dumb and gimmicky, but when they nail it, it's pretty enjoyable. Fight Club, The Sixth Sense and Scrubs all did this pretty well.

In the episode when Christopher becomes a made man. After he gets a call from Paulie to get ready and dress sharp, Adrianna is afraid it's a trap, and Christopher responds by telling her she's seen too many movies. Later on, when Christopher shows relief once they get to the place, it's Tony who tells Christopher that he's been watching too many movies. Michael Imperioli was in Goodfellas.
