Other mistake: Mason Sr spends time with Sam and Mason every other weekend. After going to the Butterfly Center, they tossed a football and ran around (playing tag?) a while before going to the Houston Astros vs. Milwaukee Brewers baseball game. The limited footage of the game in the movie (which included Astros #16's home run) was adequate to identify it as the 4/17/06 game that started at 7:07 PM... on a Monday (not over the weekend).

Continuity mistake: At an Astros game, a visiting Milwaukee Brewers player is shown batting with a dark shirt. Later, when the Astros win, all the Brewers are wearing white or light-colored shirts.
Nicole: You know how everyone's always saying seize the moment? I don't know, I'm kind of thinking it's the other way around, you know, like the moment seizes us.
Trivia: After posting Obama signs in yards, Mason Sr got into his car and told Mason and Samantha, "Look, I'm a patriot, all right?" He drives away but the camera stays fixed on the now-visible Jeep parked on the opposite side of the street. This appears to be showing another kind of "Patriot" [Jeep Patriot], but it is actually a Liberty. (01:02:59)
