Plot hole: Megan's letter to Santa blows out of her bedroom window. Windows are not kept open during wintertime, especially when there are a few inches of accumulated snow on the roof and ground. (00:11:32)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: The movie takes place over a period of a couple of months (from full-grown pears to harvest time). Grandpa may be in arrears with the bank when he dies, but the bank cannot repossess and sell the orchard/farm within such a short period of time. The property has to go through probate, which can take several months, if not 1-2+ years. Determining the validity of the will and issues related to minor Andy inheriting the estate takes much more time to settle.

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Jenny cannot arrive from the US and immediately represents Kristin in court because she is not licensed to practice law in Italy. (01:20:30 - 01:21:38)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: *SPOILER* Near the end of the movie, Elvis said, "And, of course, we warned LA and Pasadena's PD in advance [of what they would be doing on-air]." In light of the public's outrage over the 10/30/1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast (reporting an apparently believable but fabricated Martian/alien invasion) plus the sheer number of emergency calls that listeners could be expected to make during the course of Elvis' live radio broadcast, police would not be likely to "go along with" his plan. (01:30:06)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Other than being an on-line college instructor who "works a lot", the status of Charlie's employment was not revealed. There's a big difference between being a full-time tenure-track instructor (with a fringe benefits package that would include health insurance) versus part-time/adjunct faculty (with low pay per course and little or no benefits). Charlie was able to save $120K in 8 years, suggesting he was full-time and should have had health as well as life insurance and a retirement plan.

KeyZOid

Plot hole: After sending the offensive message to his students, Charlie got on-line with them (within hours or the same day?) and said, "Well, your complaints have been heard. I've been replaced..." IF an on-line college instructor could be terminated and replaced as quickly as Charlie was, it would follow that he would no longer be able to access the on-line course to communicate with the students like he did. (01:39:55)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: A stab wound to the upper-right back (near the shoulder blade) is not likely to result in death. Junior's mother found him soon after he was stabbed/deceased, so he did not "bleed out." (00:03:35)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: When Rupert brought his "secret pen pal" letters from Hollywood movie star John to school, they were stolen by some classmate bullies (and apparently never recovered). Rupert would have been around age 11 (possibly 12) at the time. It is inconceivable that a child could recall enough details from the letters to write a book about them 10 years later.

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Tom and Anna assumed the £220,000 they found in the suspended ceiling belonged to their deceased tenant Ben (on disability and renting their basement), but it more reasonably could have been hidden there by the previous homeowner - Tom's grandmother. (Some people live frugally while hoarding cash.) If they inherited the house, they also could have believed they inherited the hidden cash, so did not have to worry about someone looking for the money or getting into trouble for keeping it. (00:14:30 - 00:15:15)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Tom told I.D. Halden, "My grandmother passed a few years ago and we inherited the family house." If there was a mortgage, who was paying it for a couple years? And if the house was inherited, there would not be a landlord, they would not be paying "rent", and owners do not get served with an eviction notice. (There was no mention of a legitimate reason, such as unpaid taxes.) There's a failure to discern home ownership (with a mortgage) from renting a house (which is not "inherited").

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Detective Knight's law enforcement jurisdiction lies within L.A. county (with limited exceptions, such as "hot pursuit"). It is absurd that he would be given permission, transportation, time away from L.A. duties, funds, etc. to go to New York - outside of his geographical jurisdiction - to continue an "investigation" based on a hunch about the robbers' identities.

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Cameron stopped at Ali's house and said, "I'm in P.E. We're running cross-country..." Some classmates were shown running along the road, but doing so off-campus would be prohibited during school hours (physical education class) due to safety concerns. (00:21:00)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Marcus told Melena he lived in New Mexico with his parents until he was 5 years old: "My dad died in a car accident when I was five... and my mom got caught smuggling people into the country, so she got 10 years [in prison]." Even though Marcus did not know at the time the real reason his mother was in prison, the murder must have occurred in New Mexico, so it doesn't make sense that she would be serving time in a New York prison. (00:33:20 - 00:34:21)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Seventeen-year-old Jane knew they went to the house to "strip it" (cabinetry, hardware, etc). After removing a chandelier, Jane went into another room and, for no legitimate reason, used a sledgehammer and made a hole in the wall. There just happened to be a stash of money easily accessible via the hole, which was half-way up the wall. (00:26:14)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: *SPOILER* Calvin's twin sister and mother were killed years earlier in an automobile accident. Calvin kept going to his doctor with "new symptoms", insisting there was something physically wrong. Dr. Collins told Calvin, "Your health issues aren't physical. I thought sending you to that support group would give you a better perspective." The doctor should have referred Calvin to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis and, if appropriate, the psychiatrist would recommend therapy or a support group. (00:10:15)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Private prisons try to maximize profits and minimizing costs. They can accept or reject any potential inmates and are notorious for accepting only non-violent, low-risk offenders who are easier to house and require less security (reducing costs). Degnan Correctional Institute had many heavily armed guards. Bones pointed out to Savage some of the gangs that were there: the Mexican Mob, Dragon Nation, Aryan Brotherhood and Black Mafia - most likely to be rejected by private for-profit prisons. (00:31:45)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Police Commissioner Clarke told arrestee Savage he could do 10 years hard time for armed robbery or "go inside Degnan [Correctional Institute] and get me what I want [evidence of civil rights violations]." Savage had not even been officially charged with any crime (s). A police commissioner does not determine what an arrestee will be convicted of or how much time will be served upon conviction. The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice investigates civil rights violations. (00:06:53)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Mayor Brady told the Sheriff, "We're a tight-knit community with a resistance against change and outsiders, and you're both..." It sounds as though the Mayor deliberately hired the Sheriff ("which is why we brought you in"), but Sheriffs in North Carolina are elected officials. Justin would have had to get his name on the ballot and the community members (who didn't like outsiders) would have had to vote him in (wanting change), believing this outsider was the best person for the position. (00:12:40)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Even though Serena gave Amber reasons/excuses as to why she could not provide her with pre-rental approval information (current address, why she was moving, recommendation from a previous landlord, reference from a friend), Amber allowed Serena to lease the loft after she showed her a wad of money to pay for nine months' rent in advance. Even a first-time landlord would not lease a room without conducting an adequate background check and would be leery enough to seek a better-qualified tenant. (00:06:17 - 00:06:50)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: A real estate agent would first ask a prospective home buyer what price range he was interested in and calculate "how much house" he could actually afford to buy before taking him to look at available houses. Austyn took Jim to see multi-million dollar houses, then Jim told her he was "looking in the $250,000 range." Austyn told Jim they could close at $2.5 million and he'd only need 10% down. The 10% down ($250,000) equaled the total amount that Jim wanted to pay for a house. (00:14:03)
