Directed by: Peter Hedges
Starring: Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Alison Pill, Dane Cook
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie, Dan drives into a gas station in New Jersey and pumps his own gas. It is illegal to pump your own gas in the state of New Jersey.
Corrected entry: Dan backs the station wagon into the police car, yet in later scenes the back of the car is shown and it has no damage at all.
Visible crew/equipment: When Mitch and his brother are singing at the piano, a close up on Mitch's right ear reveals an ear-piece monitor that isn't there when the shot pans out towards the end of the scene.
Dan Burns: I don't want to go out with the pig... face.
Trivia: Dianne Wiest (born 1948), who played Dan Burns' mother, Nora, is only fourteen years older than Steve Carell (born 1962).

Correction: Dan is traveling from New Jersey to Rhode Island. Nothing suggests he hasn't already gotten as far as New York, Connecticut or even Rhode Island during the fuel stop scene. We see a sign for Interstate 95 prior to the fuel stop, which tells us he's already been on a highway. Also, he's pumping diesel fuel, not gasoline.
