When Sam and the visitors wait for Lucy at her birthday party, Brad is told to switch the light off. He pulls the switch but the light doesn't change. [That's because it's broad daylight outside, and there is a lot of light coming through the windows. There was no need for Brad to switch off any light, but to these mentally challenged people switching off the lights is part of what you're "supposed" to do at a surprise party, and they would not want to do anything wrong.]

Sometime in the beginning, Sam takes baby Lucy to a picture booth. During the time in the booth, we can see all three flashes and what pose each picture has. However, when the pictures are printed, they aren't the same as what was taken in the booth. It is most noticeable in the second picture in the middle. [This scene is part of a long montage showing how Sam takes care of and plays with Lucy when she is small. He takes several series of pictures, and the poses we see are not necessarily the ones we see being developed.]

Why on earth was the witness stand and, believe it or not, even the judge's desk in the custody hearings decorated with various stuffed teddy bears? [The reason why the desk is decorated is because the court deals with children and custody rights. The decorations are there to allow the children to feel comfortable and not to be intimidated by the situation. Even though it is a court room, it has been designed in regards to the childrens' perspective of it.]
