Other mistake: When Philomena and the journalist are waiting to board a return flight from Washington to London, he calls his office in London where a clock shows it is 8:55. That would make it 3:55 in D.C. It can't be 3:55 pm because it is dark; so it has to be 3:55 am. And no flights leave for London until 3 or 4 hours later.

Martin Sixsmith: The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Martin Sixsmith: No, it's T.S. Eliot.
Philomena: I forgive you because I don't want to remain angry.
Philomena: Oh... that's for good luck.
Martin Sixsmith: I always thought that St. Christopher was a bit of a Mickey Mouse saint. I used to be an altar boy.
