Mr. Mom

Factual error: Jack lives in suburban Detroit, yet there are palm trees along the streets.

Factual error: Jack has it pointed out by Annette that it's only 8:30pm in California (when the kids are eager to call their mom). When the next scene shows the exterior of the hotel in California, there is still some twilight left in the sky. However it is early November (since Carolyn left for the airport on Halloween) and it's impossible to have daylight of any kind around 8:30pm at that time of year. The sky would be pitch black much earlier than that.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When the TV repairman shows up to find out what's wrong with the TV for the last time she says that she found out the problem with the TV: "this shoe." It was a shoe that was left in the TV after Michael Keaton kicked the screen in. However, watch the scene, his shoe never leaves his foot.
