Plot hole: The huge explosion that rips through Tara's house isn't very likely.

Directed by: Greg Mottola
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg, Kristen Wiig, Jeffrey Tambor, Nick Frost, Mia Stallard
Continuity mistake: When Jason Bateman does a high-speed u-turn (hand-brake turn) on the highway, the camera cuts to a close-up of him driving. You can see that he is driving on the right side of the car, instead of the left side.
