Goofs:
Factual errors: Since the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird has no sealants for the fuel tanks JP7 fuel leaks from the tanks. (The reason for the leaks is that the friction heat that its speed generates causes the skin to expand significantly and expansion gaps have to be provided to prevent the skin from buckling or breaking due to the stress - like the tar strips in concrete roadways that allow the slabs to expand without damage.) Thus the plane takes off nearly on empty tanks and needs to refuel five minutes into flight (after making several supersonic sprint so heat the skin sufficiently that it expands and seals the gaps in the tanks). Otherwise it will run out of fuel.

I like this movie. It is exactly the type of movie that often makes me so irritated with the critics. I know that it is not a great movie and it doesn't pretend to be. But it is just the type of movie I enjoy watching after a difficult day at work. DARYL and his family and his neighbors are nice decent people. The villains are properly villainous. They humor is light and fun. (I especially like the part where DARYL's mom is telling her friend about all the things DARYL does, like make his bed and iron his cloths.) The ending is wonderful and hilarious.
If you haven't seen it please do. It is fun and enjoyable and it is an excellent family movie.
