Goofs

When Jenny is driving home with Morgan from picking up the bike and sitting in the car in the driveway, she isn't wear the same jacket and scarf she was before; she wears the outfit from picking up Morgan from the airport at the end at the movie.

Jennifer throws out the Christmas cards she gets unopened, but Christmas cards are hung under the mantel and elsewhere in her home.

Images of two different airliners are shown as Ralph and Morgan travel to Chicago. (The first aircraft may be a Boeing 757 or 767, while the one that is landing may be a DC-10 or MD-11.)

In the opening airport scenes, several of the same people repeatedly cross behind the main characters. For example: Black fellow in yellow and black jacket which is removed at one point; fellow with red backpack; woman with pink knit hat, etc.

Jen hires a guy who rang her doorbell to put lights on her house. Morgan and Uncle Ralph are upstairs unpacking. Morgan looks out the upstairs window and sees the guy taking items from the garage and putting them in the back of his van. The two go out and confront the thief, locking him in his own vehicle. Jen comes out of the house and asks what happened. Morgan says, "The guy you hired was stealing from you." Jen went straight downstairs to get the Christmas lights after hiring him and never talked to Morgan or Uncle Ralph. Morgan could not have known anything about the "job".

When Jennifer goes to the airport to stop Morgan from leaving, she puts her coat and purse on the counter to talk to the airline representative who makes flight announcements and it sits on top of her microphone button that works the loudspeaker. Morgan hears her pleading in another part of the airport, as do hundreds of other in various parts of the airport, but apparently, Jennifer and the attendant hear nothing at all coming from the speakers where they are standing.

When Ralph first meets Morgan at the airport, the terminal clock says 4:00 and the sun is clearly out; when they board the plane, they order breakfast from the menu.

Morgan is sleeping across chairs in the airport facing away from where Ralph is standing. Ralph is trying to find his flight on the overhead display. Morgan wakes up when Ralph says, "Hey! I'm standing here!' A baggage handler had bumped into Ralph and was already out of the scene before Morgan begins to sit up. A few moments later, Morgan gets them a flight upgrade and past all of the passengers waiting in line by threatening an obnoxious airline representative with a lawsuit stating that Ralph had been "run over" by a baggage handler. He clearly never saw what happened and Ralph never told him.

When Jen is sitting on the steps with Uncle Ralph after breaking up with Richard, she wears a blouse that has buttons on the right side. Women's blouses generally have buttons on the left side while men's shirts have them on the right. She is either wearing a man's dress shirt or a woman's blouse that doesn't follow fashion norms.

In a last desperate attempt to play match-maker between his niece and Morgan, free-spirited globetrotter Uncle Ralph hides Morgan's passport--something that would NOT be necessary on a domestic flight between Chicago and Denver, even under the Real ID Act of 2005, provided Morgan had an up-to-date American driver's license.

It's clearly stated that his last driver's license was when he was 18.

When Morgan is hanging from the roof, the sheet of cloth "snow" pulls away from the shingles.

At the beginning of the movie when Jennifer's neighbor asks about when her Christmas lights are going onto the house, Jennifer says she hasn't gotten in contact with her light guys yet. As she closes her door and starts her car to leave, there is the typical starter sound from the engine as she starts to leave, but the Toyota Prius does NOT have a "starter" like regular cars. The motor-generator turns the engine to start, so it's virtually silent when the engine starts up.

Richard says the commercial they watched was starting "tomorrow" yet he says sales are up 33% because people want to see the terrible guy in the ad. If the commercials hadn't started airing yet, nobody could have seen them.

Much of the text in the Rocketwheel newspaper story is nonsensical. The column on the right reads: "Nearby shopper it fun tricks presidents complain rat about price arrived at a stores after initial to reports of a massive toy coming from them. Aboard they discovered the Christmas shoppers of clear fold bust crab overt forty said their scene isn't phone of the most funny he has attended the if Rocketwheel's opening festivities. Tuesday morning Coesumers watched the bike walk down happy the street inner their suburban neighbor hood tons all the break retail records. She bought it at the toy fair, and it reported them missing by staff."

The license plate on the Toyota Prius has an Illinois plate, but the license number is the wrong format for Illinois plates. Numbers and letters can not be mixed on Illinois plates.

During the commercial, Richard's last name is shown to be Winsley. In the end credits, it is listed as Windom.

When Jen and Morgan pull into the supermarket to get the turkey, she drives right up to the door and like in most films, a parking space is available, however through the snow cover a partial handicapped blue square is visible on the ground marking the parking spot reserved for disabled, which neither Jen nor Morgan is.

The Denver weather reporter videodisc recorded by Uncle Ralph is initially called Joann by the anchorman. Yet, when she concludes her report, he clearly refers to her as "Em" (short for Emily).
