- As a widescreen HD home-theater experience the film has aged well; the blue ocean, clarity and sound benefited as TVs improved.
- Chuck's dental pain on the island while his fiancee falls for his former dentist creates clever parallels, including his line about wanting a dentist in the cave.
- Chuck pulling his tooth with an ice skate is pretty cool, though it would likely have caused a deadly infection.
- Chuck examining the crab legs, sushi and lighter after the welcome-home party is heavy-handed symbolism but effective.
- The line about having a pro football team in Nashville cleverly subverts a setup that sounds like he will confront her about marrying his dentist.
- The volleyball in the front seat at the end went unnoticed for 15 years; it is unclear whether he is returning it or has a new best friend.
