Goofs: Errors in geography: Some scenes of the Family Stone’s “New England town” were actually filmed in the Borough of Madison, NJ. No problem there – it could pass for a New England town. However, an aerial shot of the town square clearly shows a New Jersey Transit train pulling out of the station — definitely not something one would ever see in a New England town!
