  • Rick boating with Frank and Danny while claiming he does not want to replace Frank is nominated.
  • Ray’s wedding entrance and Rick’s improvised thanks for dressing up are praised; the hosts wish the wedding sequence were longer.
  • The baseball catch is selected as the strongest and funniest scene, with Vince Vaughn’s throwing motion and bullying performance discussed separately.
  • Ray watching college basketball with a sex worker is nominated.
  • Danny hiding in the car, Ray’s stabbing, and the incinerator disposal are praised as a well-staged sequence.
  • Rick entering Danny’s room and menacing him is nominated as the point when his threat becomes personal.
  • Frank punching a man outside the school and then announcing that he has committed kidnapping is selected as a comic favorite.
  • The boathouse fire and Susan realizing Rick is dangerous are nominated.
  • Rick confronting Danny over the stolen wallet is nominated.
  • Danny betraying Frank on the witness stand is discussed as a nightmare sequence.
  • The garage confrontation and Rick’s electrocution are discussed as badly staged but rewatchable for their absurdity.

What’s Aged the Best?

Sinister Vince Vaughn, Travolta’s earnestness, Danny’s awfulness, and the baseball catch are praised. The film’s launch of Vaughn’s dramatic run is offered as the strongest legacy point.
