Added DiffLines:

* '''Deconstructed''':
** The film doesn't stand well on its own merits, so the inclusion of the song is seen as a cynical attempt to give it ''some'' redeeming value.
** The ''song'' doesn't fit with the tone or setting of the film, leading more jaded viewers to assume it was included merely because [[FollowTheLeader that was what everyone else was doing at the time]].
** The presence of the song [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece makes the film age all the more poorly]], given how rooted this trope is in TheEighties and [[TheNineties Nineties]].
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Even if the film itself is bad, the song can still stand on its own merits.
