- The father plot is criticized as underdeveloped and potentially better with a wider casting search.
- Another participant says the film has no clear weak link but agrees the father material is least convincing.
- The friend is called one-dimensional, though deleted scenes may have shown him trying to help Truman.
- The limited depiction of the commercial and social world outside Seahaven is raised as a missed opportunity.
