- The cuts hiding Lathan's high school basketball jump out as a nitpick.
- A participant's wife is upset that Quincy seems to laugh at Monica's body before the Maxwell-scored love scene; the other participant had not noticed but concedes he smirks.
- Monica getting the scar by landing on the lawn after a shove seems implausible.
- The rant about Q as a boyfriend: his unreasonable reaction to her curfew, immediately hooking up with someone else, and keeping her in the friend box until she sleeps with him.
- The rant concludes it is less believable now than 20 years ago that they should end up together, noting he called her when Magic retired.
- In defense: he is a bad boyfriend who probably cheats and repeats his dad, but realistic for a hyped NBA player's son.
- The reply is that Monica spent much of the movie capitulating to his ego, and his claim she would never have to choose is doubted; rewatching left disappointment that she ended up with him.
