- Cameron wearing a Red Wings jersey rather than a Blackhawks one has bothered one host for 30 years; an anxious Cameron would not have zagged from the local team.
- The jersey is a Gordie Howe homage, but a hockey jersey is hot in 80-degree weather and could have started a fight at Wrigley.
- Rooney fails to recognize Ferris from 20 feet, the mom misses the mannequin's arm, and the dad does not recognize Sloan; sunglasses make everyone invisible.
- Ferris goes through nearly 10 outfits in the opening minutes, from pajamas to the suit to the sweater vest and leather jacket, which strains the timeline. — Chris Ryan
- The suit loses one host, while another likes the look.
- Nobody is on duty at the parking garage while the attendants drive the Ferrari 100 miles.
- What happened when the real Abe Froman showed up at the restaurant is unanswered.
- Ferris jumping on a parade float and singing two songs unrehearsed is raised, and the answer is that it seems natural.
- A larger nitpick: the cut day is not fun, with no beer or joint, just a museum, a restaurant and a parade; the others call that insane, and the most innocent cut day possible is part of the point.
