- The wedding entrance is a rewatchable scene: Sandy's pratfall, frosting consumption, former-child-star recognition and claim of an E!True Hollywood Story establish Hoffman's willingness to do anything for a laugh.
- The wedding's risk assessment and Baldwin introduction are praised. The honeymoon discovery is another scene nominee, including Lisa's immediate attraction to Claude, the scuba equipment hitting the boat, her disheveled explanation and Claude driving Reuben to the airport.
- Reuben urinating beside his boss is a rewatchable scene, with the long pee, fart and blunt judgment of Lisa. Baldwin's accent and comic persona anticipate The Departed and 30 Rock, with Outside Providence an earlier example.
- The gallery shart sequence flowing into basketball is called the winning seven-minute stretch: Sandy's art-world introduction, awkward walk, boasts, misses and refusal to switch defenders are highlighted.
- Sandy preparing greasy pizza with fingers in the pepper jar and pouring grease between slices is a rewatchable-scene choice.
- The Moroccan dinner date is nominated for Reuben's sweating and refusal to disclose IBS despite avoiding unfamiliar food being the obvious choice.
- The bathroom disaster is considered funny but derivative and weaker than There's Something About Mary or Dumb and Dumber; preferences distinguish juvenile from gross humor.
- The salsa date and more basketball are additional scene mentions; a longer unedited Hoffman basketball cut is wished for.
- Polly discovering the list supplies drama, while the disastrous Jesus Christ Superstar performance leads to the father's speech as a late scene nominee.
- The father's advice to enjoy the ride unexpectedly supplies genuine wisdom.
- Sandy handling the insurance meeting is the final scene nominee: the expected romantic chase gives way to his redemption, his hand lands on the wrong man's shoulder, and child-star recognition closes the deal. The performance evokes Affleck in Good Will Hunting.
- The art-gallery shart into basketball wins most rewatchable scene; hypothetical seven-minute movie compilations are brainstormed, not a completed ranked list.
