History Heartwarming / ProblemChild

* "That's my pal Trixie!"
* Two words: "Thanks, buddy."
* Fridge heartwarming after all the dust settles: by finally getting the desired result of Ben and Annie together, Junior didn't just get himself a dorky new mom, but an awesome little sister!
** In a way, the fact that even [[PairTheSpares Big Ben Healy and LaWanda Dumore]] [[UnholyMatrimony get together]] at the end of the film, so [[WinWinEnding everyone wins]] (by certain definitions of winning).

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M17GL2mKTpg The 2016 cast reunion and photo shoot.]] Junior himself, Michael Oliver looks ''completely'' different with a goatee, Creator/AmyYasbeck hasn't aged a day, Ivyann Schwan (Trixie) is still utterly adorable, and in a funny moment, we meet Eric Edwards (Murph) and Junior's finally taller than him! (The only sad part, of course, is that the late Creator/JohnRitter couldn't be a part of it.)

-->'''Little Ben Healy''': But isn't that what's wrong with the world today? I mean, everybody's looking for the easy way out; they're...they're, they're hoping that their problems will just go away? But, problems just don't go, Flo...you know? So the question before us is, what are we gonna with our little [[TitleDrop problem child?]] I'll tell you what we are going to do. Something that no one's ever done for him, ''ever'' before. We're gonna love him, Flo. Oh, yes; we're gonna love him when he's bad, we're gonna love him even harder when he gets worse, then one day, he's gonna crack, and say, "Hey, these people really do love me! They ain't gonna quit on me! I don't have to be bad anymore. What the hey; I can be President of the United States!"

-->'''Little Ben Healy''': But don't you see? We're doing what everybody else has done to him, I mean it's easy to give up on a child.

* When [[spoiler: Beck kidnaps Flo and Junior]], Ben is initially ecstatic. He opens a drawer and finds three drawings done by Junior when he enters his room: a three-headed dragon ([[JerkAss Big Ben]]), a hideous creature with a giant mouth ([[AlphaBitch Flo]]), and the last one a loving, normal human being ([[NiceGuy Ben]]). He also finds the dried prune that had belonged to his grandfather and that he had given to Junior as a symbol of the bond between them. Realizing that despite all his bratty behavior, Junior genuinely liked him the entire time, Ben snaps out of his HeroicBSOD and he goes to rescue Junior.
