Hughes does have a tendency to get cartoonish from time to time, such as a scene where Miles asks kids at a cafeteria
table if they want to
swap lunch items with Buck's randomly - selected junk (the kids peel out backwards in Looney Tunes fashion), or when Buck gets sent flying several feet in the air as Chanice kicks into a swinging door (why not punctuate the aftermath with animated stars revolving around his head?).
