- The shower confrontation is praised for both actors at their best, screaming and Help me help you. Cruise is proposed for overacting but defended as effective because Jerry loses the control established at the start; Kelly Preston is another personal overacting answer. Rod's athlete-not-entertainer stance is considered distinctly of its era.
- The bachelor-party video feels like a joyless gathering of former partners criticizing Jerry in front of his new fiancée; Cruise's excited arrival is nevertheless praised as overacting.
- Kelly Preston is the explicit overacting choice while still praised as effective. Cruise singing Free Fallin' is his strongest competing scene; Gooding's heightened work is considered genuine rather than overacting, and Zellweger is comparatively restrained.
