Goofs

Errors in geography: After Nicole and Jess drive away from the house at the beginning of the picture and are shown driving on the highway, they pass under a sign that says "Soledad Highway exit", which means that they're driving on the Antelope Valley Freeway (CA State Rt. 14), north of Los Angeles. But shortly afterwards they pass another sign on the side of the road that says "Welcome to California", implying that they've just crossed the border into California, when in reality at that point they would have already been in California for quite some time.
