Aides also pointed out Bloomberg was not at the
scene of a
similar crash last summer and didn't experience the same
kind of (muted) criticism greeting this absence.
A
scene in which Milo's vaguely hilarious food allergy comes into play is curiously never resolved, two
of Milo's hacker pals from the old days are so
similar in appearance and voice to one another that I was abstractedly surprised to see them on the screen together at the end
of the film, the reveal
of a secret molestation is abused in an insulting and clumsy way, and a stock blue - collar cop character is introduced as the worst
kind of deus ex machina: the late - in - the - game triumph
of a heretofore marginalized comic foil (see: Barnard Hughes in The Lost Boys).
It has the same type
of kid with the same type
of powers, the same kidnapping plot, the same high - kicking female sidekick, the same
kind of tone and sense
of humor, and very
similar scenes involving the boy's lack
of speech and unwillingness to eat certain things.
