Continuity: When Buck is on the highway driving to the house and trying to remember the kids' names, we see a white 4x4 travelling the same speed as him but several lanes over. When it cuts to a shot of the rear of Buck's car, there is a small sedan now in the left lane beside him that wasn't there before.
Revealing: In the scene where Buck causes all the pots and pans to crash while Tia and her mother are hugging, the final of the "reaction shots" is a close up of the two kids. You can see Amy Madigan squeeze their arms as a cue to make their shocked expressions; prior to this Gaby Hoffman was looking up with a neutral expression on her face.
