I would imagine the house is in St. Albans, MO. IMDB lists this as a filming location. It is about 20 miles from my home. It was a very small community in northeastern Franklin County that was bought up by a development company around 30yrs ago. It is now the most "ritzy-ritzy" of the communities in our county. I remember when this film was being shot, I had seen different TV reports that "Jessica Alba was filming a movie in Chesterfield Mall".
If I had any idea that Eckart & Olyphant were in this film before it was shot, I would have jumped all over the opportunity to be an extra. Rick Edlund, the co-anchor to Olyphant's character is a real life, long time news anchor in STL. He was at the NBC affiliate, KSDK ch5 forever, and has been at the WB/CW affiliate, KPLR ch11 for quite some time now.
The fireworks store scene was shot at the intersection of Interstate 44 & MO State Hwy 100. Just a bit of trivia off of the subject: This intersection is where the original Route 66 through St. Louis built in the 1920s converges with the later (and much more popular) re-routing of Route 66 through the St. Louis area.
Here's the Google Maps street view links to some of the locals:
