Continuity mistake: About 20 minutes into the movie, the family is sitting around the dining room table eating breakfast. Dad asks how school is going, and the daughter replies, "I learned all about my cervix in sex ed today", then walks off. They are eating breakfast, and the kids have not yet gone to school.
Francine Fishpaw: Dexter's been expelled from school.
Cuddles Kovinsky: For what?

Cuddles Kovinsky: It's just those common Baltimore public schools. God, I wish I lived in Connecticut.
