- Acceptance of Sonny’s gay friends holds up better than expected, including the child being taught to accept them.
- Young Jon Stewart works as Sonny’s friend in a relatively small supporting part; an initial claim that he plays the brother is corrected.
- Kristy Swanson and Leslie Mann are praised, with Mann the final preferred answer.
- Mr. Herlihy continues Sandler’s funny pattern of confrontations with combative older men.
- Sonny’s misguided parenting discovery—options rather than orders—is amusing.
- The soundtrack captures its era through Sheryl Crow, Garbage, Limp Bizkit, Everlast, Big Audio Dynamite, Styx, Eurythmics, Springsteen, New Radicals and Harvey Danger.
