* QuestionableCasting: The decision to avert DawsonCasting for Mary while playing it straight with everyone else led to some criticism, since it meant that, no matter how much the script claimed they were around the same age, the audience saw a then 15-year-old falling in love with and dating a boy [[PaedoHunt ten years her senior]].

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Mary's TheGirlWhoFitsThisSlipper subplot involves her Zune music player, which was discontinued in 2011 (a little over half a decade after the movie's release). The description for the film for some cable and streaming services even misidentifies it as an iPod.

It also won the 2010 Writers Guild of America Award for Children's script-long form or special, which says a lot considering the first film was nominated for a Razzie.
