Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Peter and Ethan are at the Western Union, the hillbilly veteran declares that he's closing because he has reservations at "Chili's" with his "boys." When Peter laughs at this Ethan says, "That's actually a smart idea, it gets really busy on a Wednesday night," implying that it is in fact Wednesday night. Peter's child is going to be born on a Friday. However, it takes three more days for them to finally arrive at their destination on "Friday." Throughout the movie, Ethan gets many things wrong, so saying the wrong day would still be in character. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Peter Highman: I just had the strangest dream. It's Friday. We're at the hospital. But it's not a hospital, it's a, a, a forest of sorts. And I know that because right next to you there's a bear. A grizzly, cooling his feet in a stream. And all of a sudden, you begin to deliver, and I can't get to you. But the bear can. And the next thing I know, he is holding our beautiful baby boy. And here's where it gets odd. Uh, he chews the cord. But, strangely, I'm okay with it. That's gotta be a good sign.
