Deliberate mistake: At the very end when they are all running to get the car started, the boy is the last to hop in. In the first scene, he is well along side the car, but in the very next shot he is farther again. In the last shot, he is closer to the door and finally gets in.

Visible crew/equipment: When the family is trying to load the body of Grandpa into the VW, the shadow of the camera can be seen multiple times at the bottom of the frame. It shows up most obviously on uncle Frank's shirt.

Continuity mistake: In the mad rush to get to the hotel, the family gets off on the exit and is trying to decide what to do. During this time, the camera angle changes several times. During this change, the traffic behind them disappears, and reappears between shots. Most noticeable is a semi that vanishes and reappears.
