* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Creator/EddieMurphy himself has 10 children, many of them born after this movie came out, to the point where he roasted Creator/BillCosby in a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' monologue that he had become "America's Dad" now. While a lot of Murphy's comedies in the 2000s were panned, it's obvious that he didn't do this one just for the paycheck.

* ValuesDissonance: In one scene, Charlie and Phil are MistakenForGay by some mothers, and their choice of words makes things worse, with the mothers being visibly uncomfortable. While that humor might have been acceptable in 2003, it comes off as incredibly homophobic by today's standards.

** In one scene where Flash/Tony has gone missing, the grown-ups frantically search the house high and low. When they find his discarded Flash costume, they think it means he's gone missing. But then, they find an unfamiliar child casually eating cookies in his underwear, who turns out to be Tony. When they wonder why he's not in his Flash costume, he tells them he no longer wants to be Flash so much as he [[BeYourself wants to be Tony]]. Rather proud of he's left his phase, Charlie and the others are actually moved to see Tony's content with being a kid.

** Also borders on [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments poignantly heartwarming]] when one realizes Ben's basically telling his father he's more important to him than ''all the toys he owns''. It's not every child who voices they love their parent ''this much''.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: During the scene where the kids are on a sugar rush, Tony suddendly gains MotionBlur when he runs in one shot. It could be RuleOfCool, but is still out place and is never brought up again, especially after Tony stops wearing his Flash costume for the rest of the movie.
