| 1 | * CriticalDissonance: The film has quite a fanbase for a movie with a 36% rotten on Website/RottenTomatoes. It was also a favorite of Creator/RogerEbert. |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: Angus' offhanded comment that Melissa is "Probably off somewhere puking her guts out" at the thought of dancing with him becomes a lot darker after she confides in him that she's suffering from bulimia. |
| 3 | * ImprovedByTheReCut: The deleted scenes reinserted into the TV edit add more depth to the story and its characters, leaving fans disappointed that said version is the ''only'' way to view these scenes at all. One cut is somewhat understandable (an extended scene where Melissa tries to initiate conversation with Angus, since it gives away too early that she's much more down-to-earth and approachable than Angus has built her up to be in his head) but why the others were excised remains a mystery. |
| 4 | * OneSceneWonder: |
| 5 | ** Creator/RitaMoreno as dance instructor Madame Rulenska. |
| 6 | ** The magnet school interviewer who comes to see Angus, by virtue of being one of the more over-the-top characters in the film, from his cross-eyed stare to his humorous deadpan mannerisms. |
| 7 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Angus favors the flannel-and-jeans "grunge" look that went out of fashion shortly after the movie debuted. The soundtrack is also full to bursting with 90's Alterna-Rock (and Music/PeterGabriel). |
| 8 | * TheWoobie: Even though he doesn't take much shit from Rick, it's hard to not feel sorry for Angus at times, especially the times when he pours his heart out to his grandpa. Angus' best bud Troy moreso, because he's a little guy and can't fight back (though he's [[TheNapoleon somewhat mouthy]]). |
