1. The HILARIOUS Skydiving Scene

And finally, we have to single out the best moment in the entire movie: the hysterical skydiving gag that's been hinted at in the trailers.

Thankfully the marketing didn't spoil the entirety of the joke, which has a very particular intent and leads to an outrageously entertaining payoff.

Once again it's a major credit to Rothe, who is absolutely game throughout the film and never more than in this scene, where she strips down to an immodest bikini, free-falls out of a plane and, well, you'll just have to wait and see. It's a fleeting moment, but a pretty damn unforgettable one.

If only more of the film could've struck this brilliant balance of demented hilarity.
