** A much more negative example would be the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super NES]] [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames game based on the film]]; some who had never even ''heard'' of the film beforehand had learned of its existence thanks to various negative reviews of the game, such as WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review.

** It could be possible that the security guards of Fun World that were hassling Kahil in their first appearance were doing so because he was black. Notice how he was only drinking from a fountain and then they started the hassling and made things worse by grabbing his hat and assuming Kahil is part of a gang despite his claims that he isn't in one. So it's possible that at least some of the antagonism from Fun World security is actually fueled by racism.

Notice how he was only drinking from a fountain and then they started the hassling and made things worse by grabbing his hat and assuming Kahil is part of a gang despite his claims that he isn't in one. There's also a moment in which a group of non-black kids are shown harassing a popsicle vendor and they don't seem to get any reprimand. So it's possible that at least some of the antagonism from Fun World security is actually fueled by racism.


Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The movie has good intentions with trying to make us sympathize with the JerkassWoobie children that reflect some sad realities of black people growing up in poorer areas, but its messy storytelling and overly cartoonish, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment often bizarre moments]] at the park get in the way of the pathos, which causes many to overlook the deeper aspects of the film.

** This film and [[AdultsAreUseless its players]] presents the idea that [[ExaggeratedTrope attraction is something worth wading for]], no matter how [[RuleOfSexy muddy the water]], [[PsychoExGirlfriend thick the moss]] or [[QuestForSex convoluted the goal]], it also carries the message that children (while very cumbersome) are exempt from taking responsibility, [[KarmaHoudini bullet biting]] and [[NeverMyFault crow eating]] aren't necessary as [[KidsAreCruel kids will be kids]] and when all else subsides, [[PerpetualPoverty cheap]] [[FreudianExcuse ploys]] will do in a pinch. (Though considering Robin has baggage that the object of his attraction has to deal with as well, it's a two way street.)
