- Johansson being eighteen is raised as a detail that has aged poorly.
- The prostitute scene is criticized for pronunciation humor at her expense; the defense is that its chaos conveys Bob’s disorienting foreign experience.
- Bob and Charlotte’s first drink is considered less effective than their later vodka-tonic encounter and a missed opportunity for a rewatchable scene.
- A daughter confusing Murray with Robin Williams is jokingly selected as the winner; she otherwise enjoyed the film.
