Geographic miscue

So the movie was shot in Ottawa, Ontario and included scenes inside the NAC yet they for some reason decide to use stock footage of the PSFS building in Philadelphia, PA. Very, very odd. I missed the beginning, did they say where the movie was supposed to take place?

Looks like the movie was supposed to take place in Philly. My bad but the constant cutting of Ottawa and Philly shots is dizzying.

Look out for "Creeping Canadianisms" when watching a Lifetime movie. They'll stick an American flag on the set to fool you!

It is supposed to be Philly. Carrie and Ashley's dad go on their weekend getaway to Cape May (NJ.) Many of these movies are filmed in Canada because it is less expensive to film there than the US.
