Corrected entry: There's a shot where Clooney first finds out his wife has been cheating and he's shown frantically running to his best friends' home to confront them and he's wearing flip flops which are very loud. On the way back he's wearing a pair of docksiders.

Correction: He wasn't wearing flip flops. He was wearing the same shoes on the way there and back.

Corrected entry: When the older daughter came out of her mother's hospital room after saying "goodbye," she hugged her dad and her little sister and then walked her little sister back in to say HER goodbyes. They did not return to the same room, but one farther back.

Correction: I could see why someone would think they didn't return to the same room, but they did. The door closed behind the oldest daughter as she exited the room causing her to have to reopen it as she and her sister walked back in. Watching the pictures hanging up on the wall will also assist you in confirming that the room was not changed.

Continuity mistake: At the end, as Alex comes out of her mother's hospital room, there are two large framed pictures on the hallway wall to her right, next to the door. When the scene cuts to a long shot of her walking toward her father and sister, there's now only one picture on that wall. There is no other section of that wall that has two pictures next to each other.

Trivia: When Matt King visits the house of his ancestors the camera pans over the furniture. There is a picture of the Union Jack, but it is upside down. (It's a common misconception that the Union Jack is the same either way up - the wider diagonal white stripe should be at the top left, or on top on the side of the flag nearest the flagpole).
