YMMV / Curly Sue

• Awesome Music: Award-Bait as it is, Ringo Starr's "You Never Know" is a very upbeat and pleasant pop ballad to end the movie with.
• Award Snub: Given how non-competitive the field was for Best Original Song (even though Beauty and the Beast locked down three nominations), "You Never Know" could’ve easily been one of the nominees that year too.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Watching the Maitre d' offer to kiss Sue's cheeks can seem a little unnerving once you learn of Cameron Thor's 2016 conviction for child sexual assault. And even if Bill punched him (twice) for different reasons, you won't be able to resist cheering on Jim Belushi.
• Moral Event Horizon: Walker already comes off as a pretty unlikable jerk with how much he's overacting to Grey letting Bill and Sue stay with him, but becomes 100% irredeemable when he calls the police and gets Bill thrown in jail and Sue thrown into foster care.
• Retroactive Recognition
  • Alisan Porter would later go on to win season ten of The Voice.
  • Steve Carell, in his acting debut, appears as a waiter in an early scene.
