      When Frank is being questioned by the school's auditor about his flights to London, the auditor mentions Frank had booked first class on Concorde. In reality all Concorde seats were the same class, so there were no first class.
    • Quotes

      Frank Tassone: My problem? My problem is you. Carol, it's the people who trot their poor children out like race horses at Belmont; who derive some perverse joy out of treating us like low-level service reps. I mean, do you remember the teachers who sat with you, who held you by the hand, who taught you to add and subtract, or showed you Gatsby, Salinger, for the first - Mockingbird even? Do their names escape you? Are their faces a blur? You listen to me! You don't want to see us as people because that is not convenient for you. You just leave us behind, at will. Never think about us again. You might forget, but we don't. We never forget. Ever.

    Not quite the tension I hoped for
    The movie takes a lot of time to get really started which makes it a bit boring. Hugh Jackman is good in his role, but he's done better before. Categorized as comedy, which it is definetely not.
