I was so looking forward to watching the girlfriend blow up and freak out at sandler for lying to her the whole time at the end of the movie... and then he goes off screen, and comes back and everything is perfect?
um... JIP!
Yeah, I was also wondering when they would finally tell her the truth.
VAL..... that's what I just wrote. By "her" and his brother, I meant Palmer.
shareyeah...your'e right.they missed it big time!

Perhaps they didn't do that because that's what you expected.
shareActually, at the end of the movie when Sandler is talking to Aniston at the beach bar, doesn't he say the kids are with her and his brother after she asks him where her kids are? To me, it implied that he DID confess and explain everything to her (and call off the wedding). She probably wasn't that shocked anyway after asking Aniston's character about it...
sharepixel_dust - no. At the end Sandler distinctly said they were with Palmer.

It did seem like some pretty lazy writing. I guess they figured the movie was already running long at nearly 2 hours, and coupled with the fact that the break-up scene would require actual acting--plus be a downer--they scrapped it.
I think it's lazier writing just to throw in a bunch of circumstances that simply delay the inevitable only for it to end with the showdown that everyone's expecting. For example, see The Dilemma and The Switch.

It's never said or even implied that he comes clean to her about his scheme.

Here is your previous quote:
Then the time comes for him to come clean, and it happens off screen?
Sandler tells Aniston they're (Sandler and Decker) literally getting married, and he realizes (during the actual wedding) he's marrying the wrong person. So he would've had to come clean, yes? And it happened off screen. So yes, you sounded like an idiot when you retorted with "it was never said or even implied that he came clean". Who said it was?
But Decker tells Aniston before the wedding that she senses Sandler has feelings for Aniston. So Decker probably understood on that basis that Sandler couldn't go through with the wedding. Thus, like I said, it was never said or implied that he came clean about the whole scheme. All that is really suggested is that he called it off based on his feelings for Aniston, which Decker understood.
shareBecause a scene like that would have required some decent acting.

This makes perfect sense. All this bullsh*t about "ohh it happened off screen" no it just didn't. Fair enough though if that's what you want to think. I don't think Decker would be perfectly happy with that though as she looks quite happy on the plane home. But then again it was a pretty unbelievable storyline so anything could have happened I suppose.
Although I thought it wasn't a believable storyline, I still found it entertaining and I liked Kidman and Aniston in it.
Honestly, I wasn't even mad. The movie was so ridiculous that I didn't even care about the story by the end.
