Is this a goof?


So in the part when Tip and Oh are sitting on the car over the ocean talking, how are they doing that? Wouldn't the North Atlantic Ocean be covered in waves and not super still water? And how old is Tip supposed to be?

On Wiki it says she's a preteen.

According to the book she is 11 and in 8th grade...if I remember correctly. There are two books out that this movie is based loosely on. There may even be a sequel film coming soon.

Are you sure about the 8th grade part? Because 11 years old corresponds to sixth grade, typically...

I hadn't seen a sequel on the list of upcoming movies, so I checked online and found this article, which says the sequel may take the form of a comic book:

I was thinking the very same thing about the Atlantic Ocean, its notoriously harsh - however, when the titanic sank, its because the water was so still, they didnt see the iceberg so obviously it has its calm moments.

I thought Tip was supposed to be 15 but that was a guess, probably based of Rhiannas voice

In the movie, Tip says she was in middle school. She did not mention what grade.

Tip is supposed to be 14, I think.
