- Indoor bar smoking is an aged-worst choice.
- Nick visiting his daughter at school is questioned; leaving him crying outside the fence is suggested.
- The ending's surprise diminishes on repeat viewings; a proposed Ray Merrimen cut would end after the confrontation, though Donnie's reveal enables what follows.
- Eating donuts from the ground is an aged-worst choice, with jokes about contemporary weight-loss drugs reducing their appeal.
- Atlanta standing in for Los Angeles is an aged-worst choice attributed to budget limits. The film's many Los Angeles references partly disguise the substitution, and one participant only noticed it that day.
