Trivia: After the cast/credits, the screen goes black for a few seconds, but it is followed by a short spoof of "Deck the Halls" then the statement "Dedicated to the loving memory of the man who made us laugh. Robin Williams 1951 - 2014." (01:20:42 - 01:21:30)

KeyZOid

Trivia: The film was released in November 2014, almost three months after Robin Williams' (7/21/51 - 8/11/14) death.

Continuity mistake: The glass that was dropped and shattered on the floor had a different pattern of fragments when Mitch [Robin Williams] knelt to clean it up. Most obvious was that the majority of shattered pieces settled toward Mitch's feet but were on the opposite side of the largest piece of glass during clean-up. There's also a "stupidity" in the way Mitch wiped up the glass - pressing down on the thin towel (apparently to entrap fragments), which is most likely to result in getting pierced. (00:01:40)

Audio problem: After Brian and Mary put their packages into six side-by-side (horizontal) lockers, Brian closed five doors then his hand was too far away (and the door off-screen) to be closing the sixth one yet the sound of it slamming shut was made. (00:32:05)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The ambulance stopped along the curb in front of the house, but the front bumper was about halfway between the tree and the front steps. When the taxi arrived, pulling alongside the ambulance, the ambulance's front bumper was next to the stair's handrail plus a police car was parked where the front bumper of the ambulance should have been. (00:17:41 - 01:19:45)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: It wasn't snowing in the front of the house (e.g, when Ethan, Hallie, and Stephanie were going home; when the ambulance arrived; when anyone came in the front door), but it was snowing heavily in the rear of the house during scenes showing the Christmas tree. (01:18:24 - 01:20:42)

Trivia: In "All I Want for Christmas" (1991), Hallie [Thora Birch] told her dad that Pluto is her "favorite planet." Pluto was reclassified or re-defined as a "dwarf planet" (now one of five) by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. Many people were - and still are - unhappy about the "demotion" of what used to be the ninth planet and previously known as the smallest planet. Compared to one Earth year to revolve around the sun, Pluto takes 248 (Earth) years. (00:56:58)

Deliberate mistake: There was a black wrought iron fence behind Whitney but with enough space for JD to drive between them. After JD parked, Whitney (and her friend) were much closer to the fence, but they were also at the rear of JD's parked SUV, which would not be spatially possible. When JD, Jane, and Ally got out of the SUV, they walked right in front of Whitney, who was now much closer, and the fence was no longer behind Whitney. (00:27:50 - 00:28:14)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The exterior front view of JD sitting in a chair, bent over with his hands folded between his knees, shows his guitar facing outward but the interior rear view shows the guitar angled toward JD. (00:46:45)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: The short scene wherein Jane's mother is carrying a tray of food to Jane's room and says, "This isn't a home. It's a hotel" doesn't make sense. There's already a tray of food on the floor next to the door that has a sign "Please, do not disturb" hanging on the knob, which is on the left side. Jane's mother passes that door and stops at a door right next to it with a "Do NOT Disturb" sign hanging from the knob, which is on the right side. Two close-together doors to one bedroom? (00:45:50)

KeyZOid

Deliberate mistake: When Prince Henry was sitting on the porch, there was snow accumulated all along the inner side of the railing - but the attached perpendicular boards (about 4" high) on the outside should have blocked snow, or that amount of snow, from accumulating there. (00:42:30)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: The chalet was visible behind Emily when she was outside talking on the phone, but subsequent views of Emily showed her in front of a solid white background (mimicking snow) - indicating the use of a green (white?) screen. (00:13:34 - 00:13:56)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The amount of snow accumulated on the chalet's wraparound porch railing was higher when looking outside compared to external views, such as when Emily was outside talking on the phone with Becca. (00:13:35 - 00:15:05)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: After the Prince and his entourage unexpectedly arrived at the chalet, Ms. Tilson told Emily that she tried to call but Emily's phone was turned off. Emily replied, "I forgot to charge it last night." A woman (or person) who went to a remote vacant chalet in the mountains during the winter, contracted to watch over the place, would not "forget" to charge her cell phone. Making sure her cell phone was charged (and has reception) would be at or near the top of her list of concerns. (00:09:10)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The way the deer's front legs were crossed and the location of its guts differed before versus after Scout Leader Rogers pulled his pocket knife out of the deer's eye. (00:17:51)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: From the sound made when the car hit the deer, as well as the deer's overall appearance, it was obvious the deer was fake. The fake deer's body was almost uniformly brown, but the "dead deer" on the road had a white underbody that went part way up its side and along its legs, which should have been visible on the "fake deer." (00:10:19)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Fang placed the shoebox almost parallel to the front door, but it was at a different angle when Luke saw and was approaching it. (01:12:29 - 01:14:14)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: When Mary is talking to Luke in the kitchen, there are "moving shadows" on the wall to the left of the screen, apparently from the camera/film crew. (00:19:40)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: Most of the car scenes entailed rain on the windows even though it otherwise had not been and was not raining, indicating the scenes were filmed on a rainy day. For example: Mary driving home; picking up Todd to go to the funeral; driving home from the church; driving back from rock climbing; and, Faith's car when she got to Luke's house. (00:17:35 - 01:34:12)

KeyZOid

Deliberate mistake: The snacks in the vending machine were almost to the top of each display shelf, but an interior to exterior view showed the lab researcher's head unobstructed and a foot or so clearance between the snacks and the top of the shelf. (00:06:30)
