I got this one for Christmas in 1995. I was nine years old at the time...good grief, that feels like so long ago lol.
I didn't know much about Cera's dad until this film, and he really rubbed me the wrong way. I pretty much hated the guy for a couple of years until he seemed to redeem himself with scenes of his nicer side later on. I think him putting Cera in danger was what really pissed me off.
On a lighter note, I did find the bullies to be rather funny than intimidating. Hyp's superiority complex made him more comical than scary, and it didn't help his cause that one of his associates was Mutt😁. The "Yeah, dummy!" scene is still quite histerical in my opinion. That hornet sure seemed butt hurt by the insult😉.
