YMMV / Airborne

• Cliché Storm: So much that The Nostalgia Critic called it "a capsule of the 90s time and their clichés".
• Narm Charm: The film is so sweet and naive as a piece of the 90's that it even hurts.
• One-Scene Wonder:
  • The silent broken nose guy.
  • "My dad shot her, it was weird."
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The movie could have not only been more interesting but also gain itself a likable underdog if the film just centered on Wiley overcoming his struggles through high school and winning the affections of Nikki, while taking Mitchell out of the film entirely.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The film was created as a response to the in-line skating fad of The '90s. Also feels like a commercial for said decade.
• Values Dissonance: Although this minor, during speech class one girl actually said she wants to be the love slave of Al Pacino, despite the fact he was in his 50s at the time of the movie’s release. If someone like her had actually said that in school today, the school would most likely call her parents about this and have her see the school psychologist.
