Jack's Revenge

Corrected entry: In the whole movie, no mention is made of Tom Baker ever leaving to play an away game. Does Illinois just not play away matches?

Correction: Just because this detail isn't talked about doesn't mean that they didn't occur. They never specifically say all the matches are home games, either.

Jack's Revenge

Corrected entry: When Bonnie Hunt is getting in the cab to go to the airport for her trip to New York, her hair is in a perfect bob. When she gets there and is talking to her publisher in her hotel room, her hair is in a flip.

Correction: Enough time has passed that she could have re-curled her hair after her flight, and before her publisher showed up.

Jack's Revenge

Corrected entry: When the family is moving, the trucks seen from the air are different to those seen at the new house. (00:20:35 - 00:21:35)

Dr Wilson

Correction: The style of the Bekins trucks are the exact same. There is also an additional Crate and Barrel Truck, but it is a separate delivery truck with their new furniture, and not a moving truck that came from the house.

Jack's Revenge

Corrected entry: How is it possible for only the dad to work, coaching a local football team, and earn enough money to support 12 kids? This would be impossible in real life, but in the movie, they live comfortably, and appear to have no financial strain other then the daughter asking for no more hand-me-downs.

Correction: They live in a small town, where the cost of living is lower, they own very old cars, they cut coupons, they have hand me downs, they have old furniture, they buy only what they need, and only on sale. Apparently early on they learned to economize and get the best bang for their buck. The mother was a journalist for some years, we can assume she possibly did some freelance writing which she could do from her home, etc.
