Four Christmases

Continuity mistake: When Kate enters the room with the cot at Brad's father's house, she unbuttons all three buttons and begins to open her coat. The shot then changes to Brad's face for some time. On the return shot of Kate, she's beginning to unbutton the coat all over again, starting with the first button. (00:18:25)

Continuity mistake: At Brad's mom's house, after Brad and Kate are finished with their frustrating turn at the board game and Brad shuts down, saying our time is up, the hour glass is fully turned upright with all the sand in the top section. In fact, the sand doesn't even seem to be dripping into the bottom section.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Brad and Kate are at the airport all the flights are cancelled because of the fog. Outside you can see its a cloudy/foggy day, but when they are going to Brad's father's house it's perfectly sunny.

Suggested correction: The micro climate weather in SF could easily create fog by the airport and no fog in another part of the city or the Bay Area.

Factual error: When Brad and Kate are in the taxi on the way to the airport, they are shown crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. They supposedly live in the city of San Francisco itself, and therefore should be heading south to the airport. The Golden Gate Bridge is to the north, and is completely in the opposite direction, by about 18 miles.
