Mistakes

When Sally Fields visits Natalie Portman in the hospital she is smoking a cigarette. If you watch at one point she supposedly throws the cigarette down and steps on it but when the camera shoots back at her she has the cigarette in her hand. Then the cigarette goes from not being lit to being lit and Sally again throws it down and steps on it. See more...

When Novalee sleeps with the mechanic (this is the same day the couple from Midnight, MS come to sister's door), later, when Novalee is telling Lexie about her fear of being pregnant, she states she met him last month. (Lexie is not pregnant in this scene.) A few scenes later, when she is with Forne buying the Christmas tree, Lexie is extremely pregnant, but on the way home they state that Americus is 5 months old. This is when Americus goes missing, but when sister tells the story, she states that the couple from Midnight, MS came up only yesterday, when in the previous scenes it appears to have spanned several months. [When Sister tells the story, she mentions that a woman had come to the door and that it hadn't been the first time she'd seen her, she had come to the house before (with a man). So the Midnight MS couple come (the scene which we see where Sister sasses them back), then a few months later the Midnight MS woman comes back to try again (a scene which we don't see, only hear Sister refer to after Americus is kidnapped and the bible found in her crib).]

Americus was born on July 5, 1995 as it says in the book right after Sister dies. The day after Americus was born, Novalee first meets Lexi and Lexi says "Hope you're not hungry because it's Tuesday." July 6th, 1995 was a Thursday. [Americus name is never actually shown in this scene, only the date appears in the scene.]

Mr. Sprock said that he got the kitchen table, but the house was destroyed in the tornado. [The house was destroyed. That doesn't mean that everything in the house was also destroyed. There are many documented instances where items are found intact after tornadoes, hurricanes and even fires. Plus, Mr. Sprock never said the table was in perfect condition, just that he got it.]
