  • The formerly groundbreaking multiple-role compositing no longer seems remarkable.
  • Marty becomes a nerdy assistant to exposition rather than the original's rebellious rocker, echoing a Jonathan Rosenbaum review.
  • The premise could be solved with therapy for Marty's chicken-triggered insecurity and keeping his family away from the Tannens.
  • 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.
