A Creator Killing film is hardly "critic proof" just because it didn't tank its studio. It also was greatly hated by *audiences*.
Deleted line(s) 5 (click to see context) :
* CriticProof: This film was hated and received extremely negative reviews for its poor humor, annoying main protagonist, and wide variety of racist stereotypes, but it managed to make back triple its budget.

Moments that are pop culture references in a film based entirely on pop culture references can't be a BLAM.

** A {{Downplayed}} moment when Pistachio randomly quotes a certain Music/{{Madonna}} song while Fabrizzio tries to give him a pep talk.
-->'''Pistachio:''' But, Papa? Don't preach. I'm in trouble deep, and I'm keeping my baby.
-->'''Fabrizzio:''' [[FlatWhat Say what?]]
-->'''Pistachio:''' What?
** The rather out-of-place ShoutOut to ''Film/TheExorcist'' when Grandfather Disguisey first arrives.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film not only has a soundtrack that's filled with early 2000s pop songs, but is stuffed with references to many things like ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', the Music/BackstreetBoys, Music/BritneySpears, Music/JessicaSimpson, [[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen the Olsen twins]], and (in a DeletedScene) ''Series/AllThat''.

* HilariousInHindsight: On its initial release, many critics lambasted the end credits being stretched out to roughly ten minutes long by incorporating deleted scenes and two post-credits scenes. Nowadays it's quite common, especially in major franchise films, to have end credit sequences that are 10+ minutes long[[note]]Though that also has as much to do with the fact that the overwhelming majority of films released nowadays don't carry any opening credits[[/note]] and feature mid-credits and post-credits sequences -- albeit usually things designed to set up future franchise entries and/or expound on plot points, rather than the largely irrelevant {{filler}} featured in this film.

* ValuesDissonance: When Grandfather is teaching Pistachio how to be a Master of Disguise, one scene has Pistachio dressed like an Indian man, with his face being turned red and just before tapping into "Energico", he puts on a very stereotypical Indian accent. Upon assuming his new identity of "Prince Lali Jhamba from the Ringy Dingy Heights near Bombay, Caicutta and New Deihi, India", he charms a snake by playing "Songbird" by Kenny G. Obviously, such a scene wouldn't fly today, considering how racist and offensive the scene is, even if the scene in question was about a minute long.
