* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Early in the film, Josh tells off Charlie for wishing one resident a happy Chinese New Year, as the woman is actually Korean. While it is generally referred to in Western countries as the "Chinese New Year", the holiday's proper name is the ''Lunar'' New Year, and is celebrated in many East and South Asian countries, including Korea, meaning ''Charlie'' was technically in the right (even if his terminology was off).
