Corrected entry: When Susanna follows Duncan to the water park and subsequently spends the day with him, they are each riding their bicycles. But when they return home that evening there is only one bike between them.

Correction: This is because Duncan already put his bike away.

Corrected entry: Toward the end of the show, fuel is being pumped into the classic 1970 Buick wagon. The problem is that he's using the green pump, which would indicate diesel. GM didn't introduce diesel engines in passenger car until the early 80's.

Correction: They stopped at a "BP" gas station. All pump handles are green at this brand gas station.

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when they are packing the car up the rear door of the Buick is a tailgate, but when Duncan gets out of the car from the back it is now a side opening door.

Correction: These tailgates opened both ways, up/down and to the side.

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, Duncan is sitting to the right side (if we are looking at him) of the back seat of the station wagon. When they are taking the luggage out of the car, there are now bags piled up in the seat on the right side.

Suggested correction: Absolutely no telling how much time has passed between the two scenes. With them being on a road trip, they could have stopped for gas, food, bathroom breaks etc and moved the bags around at any time. Even Duncan could have just done it by himself mid-transit to make a little more room on the floor for his feet.

Susanna: When I was younger, my dad used to bring me down here to do this all the time. He'd fill my head with all these useless facts about ghost crabs. Like, did you know they're omnivorous? Basically, they eat both animals and vegetables. My mom jokes, "Leave it up to your dad to be interested in a creature that goes both ways."
