** Also, DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: There's a scene where Bud/Ellen is supposedly rubbing Alex's belly, but it's filmed at an angle where it looks like she's doing something obscene. This is nasty enough in a movie intended for adults, let alone kids!

* UncertainAudience: This was a movie aimed at kids and families, yet it has silly scenes involving Alex and magic tricks while at the same time having scenes of violence between major characters and some rather adult subject matter.

* DesignatedHero: Alex's antics are supposed to be cute and funny, but oftentimes they are just downright dangerous, especially the sequence where he gets behind the wheel of a car and endangers lives in the process (and not just that of the hapless woman also in the car). It's downright unbelievable that the carnival didn't get sued by either the woman, the sheriff, or the owners of the fruit stand Alex destroys.
