  • The changing roster, uniforms, substitutions and trophy shot make the team’s player count inconsistent.
  • The nice Catholic school teacher being single is treated as implausible.
  • Trading tickets to weak Bulls basketball for a $46 pizza bill is disputed; the trip itself and Dallas stars could justify it.
  • A Craig observation says there is too little actual coaching by Keanu; Bad News Bears in Breaking Training is the comparison, and the children seem skilled without instruction.
  • An online nitpick questions the apparent handgun-like wound versus a shotgun on screen; limited firearms knowledge is explicit and alternative explanations remain possible.
  • Connor’s age makes never having heard Big Papa or the Notorious B.I.G. implausible, prompting a shared familiarity argument.
