  • The low-key Super Bowl, indifference to Marino’s kidnapping, easy traffic and casual halftime return are early nitpicks. — Bill Simmons
  • Pet care, feeding, smell and Ace’s acceptance of a captive dolphin are nitpicked; his commitment to animals is questioned without a settled conclusion.
  • The Super Bowl result and Snowflake logistics remain unanswered, the historical score is challenged, and the missing trainer scene is strongly criticized.
  • Nitpicks ask why the accomplished kicker was a midseason replacement, why the Eagles mascot is on the Dolphins sideline and why Einhorn leaves for refreshments; henchmen competence is questioned. — Craig Horlbeck
  • Einhorn’s elaborate plan and rapid rise through police ranks are challenged as a weak plot foundation. — Bill Simmons
  • Asylum admission and conveniently preserved evidence are nitpicked, while Ace struggling with the box is a late funny-scene candidate. The importance of the missing dolphin is debated. — Bill Simmons

  • A possible Silence of the Lambs homage and the weekend-surgery line are discussed; the homage remains qualified.
