* Everything that happens after Robbie gets on the plane. First, we see Robbie explaining his plight to a kind older lady in the first-class cabin, then, one scene later, [[GilliganCut cut to]] [[HeartwarmingMoment ''all the first-class passengers'']], including ''Billy Idol'', huddled around Robbie and hanging on every word of his story. Then, the crew allows Robbie to perform a song he had written for Julia (in a very short amount of time, mind you, he began writing while in the car on the way to the airport, and had it completed and memorized by mid-flight). When Glenn tries to stop Robbie, the passengers, including [[TheCameo Billy Idol]] as mentioned above, [[BigDamnHeroes don't hesitate]] to stand up to him and come to Robbie's aid. Finally, Robbie finishes his song, gets glowing praise from Billy (and the potential of a recording contract in the near future) and officially gets together with Julia, with the final scene being their wedding day. All in all, it's one of the most wholesome, satisfying, and awesome endings of any rom-com film ever.

* Opening the film with Sandler singing "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" isn't just an awesome performance, but it perfectly establishes all the characters and the 80's setting by the end of the opening credits.
