* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Preston's father, Fred, comes off as the most hated character in the movie, even more than the villains. [[ParentalFavoritism He lets his two older sons dominate Preston's room for their own business (despite being incompetent at computers)]] and berates Preston for not doing the same despite being clearly too young to do so. He also [[SkewedPriorities grounds Preston for ruining his bike]] rather than worried that he was almost hit by a car. Even when Fred speaks to "Mr. Machintosh" about how he dislikes that he's taking his son's time away from him, his out-of-nowhere [[PapaWolf concern for Preston]] feels lazy and insincere.

* ValuesDissonance: Considering how much more sensitive the general public has become to even the most gently implied sexualization of children (so much so that making two underage actors kiss ''each other'' for ''Series/StrangerThings'' was controversial), there's no doubt that the scene of a twelve-year-old attempting to romance and kiss a 32-year-old woman on the lips would not only ''not'' be considered charming but also offensive enough result in a swift ending to the career of every single person involved.
