Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Vada's plane leaves for California you see her flying over a coast, with the land on the right side of the plane. There are no major bodies of water between Pennsylvania and Southern California. Lake Erie is the closest major body of water that the plane would fly near, however, since Lake Erie is north of Pennsylvanaia the coast would be to the left of the plane as it flew west.

Quotes:

Vada: I love the fragrance of vintage books.
Nick: I love the fragrance of chili dogs.

A pleasant way to waste a couple of hours

This wasn't a bad film, although it was kinda pointless, it did play itself well, and had great acting. Jamie Lee, Anna, and Dan, are still great as they reprise their role. See it just to waste some time. 6.5 out of 10.
