Continuity mistake: When the (green-screened) giant baby breaks a part of the car and Nick picks it up, though it's similar, it's not exactly the same one.

Revealing mistake: While Nick and his father are driving home with the giant baby behind (an obvious green screen projection), the baby breaks a tube from the car and throws it to the floor.

Continuity mistake: When Adam is throwing things at his brother, a shot from the outside of the house shows the blinds totally closed, but they appear slightly open from the inside. It's not until 10 minutes later that the father shuts them.

Continuity mistake: Adam feeds Nick a sandwich stretching on his chair and totally loses his balance, lifting an orange cushion underneath and almost falling off the chair. There's an abrupt cut and the kid appears repeating the movement, though now he's sitting straight, and the cushion is gone.
