** Many found Nina and Kevin underdeveloped as well, due to their conflict over Nina dropping out of Stanford and Kevin selling his business to pay her tuition being pared down, their conflict over Nina and Benny's relationship being nonexistent, and Kevin's solo "Inútil" and the mother of the family being cut. Nina's reason for dropping out of Stanford changing to racist harassment and profiling was also controversial, as many fans found it less compelling (and more {{Anvillicious}}) than her dropping out due to her own financial anxiety and perfectionism, while also underselling Stanford's real-life Latino community.

* WatchedItForTheRepresentation: The film's cast and crew have stated in interviews they want the film to be a cultural touchstone for Latinos the same way ''Film/BlackPanther'' was for America's Black community and ''Film/CrazyRichAsians'' was for the Asian community. Enthusiastic reviews on social media prove that they mostly succeeded, except for the [[AcclaimedFlop low viewership]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Vanessa is much better received in the movie. Melissa Barrera's spirited performance, and her beautiful singing voice were instantly noted to be a standout. The character's new motivation of becoming a fashion designer, and [[spoiler: confirming that she and Usnavi end up together with children]] make her feel more like a fleshed out presence.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Melissa Barrera would become better known just half a year later by playing the lead role in ''{{Film/Scream 2022}}''.

* ValuesDissonance: Cultural example. Some fans were baffled by moving "Carnaval del Barrio" to happening after [[spoiler: Abuela Claudia's death, feeling it jarring that they would have a party so soon after their matriarch dies]]. Others pointed out that it's actually quite apt from a cultural point of view; many Latino cultures [[spoiler: honour the dead by singing and dancing, as a celebration of their life (as also depicted in ''{{WesternAnimation/Encanto}}'')]].
