Revealing mistake: The monitors in the hospital attached to Mr. Banks's wife and daughter didn't move, although they should have shown something important about the patients.
Revealing mistake: The panicked drive to the hospital ostensibly takes place during the early evening, yet there is absolutely no traffic in downtown Los Angeles.
Suggested correction: They don't live in Los Angeles, they live in San Marino.
Other mistake: George and Nina are sitting in the kitchen when the ceiling leaks from the rain and George makes a comment about the roof leaking. The only problem is it is a two-story house, so the water must be coming from the floor above, not the roof.
Matty Banks: I'm, 4-foot 6, I don't shave, I don't have a job, and I'm gonna be an uncle. Is there something weird about that?
George Banks: Finally, someone who thinks like I do.
Nina Banks: Oh, yeah, a 12 year old.
Trivia: Check out the Scrabble board after Annie moves back in. Words like "epidural, breech, and mother." All birth-related words. Talk about a theme game.
Question: Is there any truth in the rumors that there is a subliminal message in the movie for American Express?
Chosen answer: Well if there is it's too subliminal to notice - so no.
