- The formerly groundbreaking multiple-role compositing no longer seems remarkable. — Bill Simmons
- Marty becomes a nerdy assistant to exposition rather than the original's rebellious rocker, echoing a Jonathan Rosenbaum review. — Chris Ryan
- The premise could be solved with therapy for Marty's chicken-triggered insecurity and keeping his family away from the Tannens. — Cousin Sal
- Fox and Shue are too old for teenagers; the film also contains too much Pepsi.
- Fox playing his daughter is strange and unnecessary; Justine Bateman would have made a funnier casting joke.
- Miami in the American League and the Part III trailer ending. — Bill Simmons
