Mistakes

⇓

Continuity: Towards the end of the film, when adult Mattie hands Jenna the dream house (rebuilt) he had made for her 13th birthday years ago, there is hardly any "wishing dust" on its roof. However, moments later, when Jenna walks outside and sits on her front porch, there is plenty of "wishing dust" all over the roof of the toy house now.

Continuity: In her apartment Jenna walks out into the hallway, looks at herself in the mirror and stumbles backwards over the shelf behind her. There is a short stack of magazines on that shelf, yet when Jenna looks at herself in the mirror the stack of magazines is at least three times as high in the reflection.

Continuity: When the six girls arrive for the party, in the first shot Tom-Tom tosses her blue jacket, then the second girl lays her red jacket and the third girl starts to put her pink jacket into Jenna's arms. Yet, at the start of the next shot facing Jenna, she holds only the blue jacket, since the red jacket is gone, the pink jacket is placed in Jenna's arms on top of the blue jacket and then the red jacket is thrown into her arms from off camera, before the rest of the girls dump their jackets into her arms. Then in Jenna's close-up, the jackets are positioned very differently in her arms.

Factual error: When Jenna first wakes up 30 years old and calls her parents, she dials 7 keys on the phone. Since her parents are in NJ and she is in NYC, she would've had to made 11 keystrokes (1 + areacode + 7 digit phone number) to get to their voicemail.

Factual error: After putting Jenna in the closet, everyone crowds together and plan to leave. One girl holds a diet coke can, which is obviously a more modern design, and not from 1980's.

Continuity: When Jenna enters her office she throws her silver bag on a chair, and as she walks over to the photos you can see the bag is laying on it's side. When the woman knocks on the door you can see the silver bag again, but now it's standing upright, as you can tell by the straps/handles.

Continuity: When Jenna is 13, she enters the closet at her party and between shots from when she tells Tom-tom where the projects are, to the next shot of her, the blindfold tied around her seems to turns upside down. If you look at the pattern (stripes) it flips over.

Continuity: When Jenna first walks around after turning 30, the camera pans around the apartment and we get a good view of the small glass table in the lounge, and there is a remote control next to a magazine. When Jenna goes and sits on the yellow chair though, the remote is now on the magazine. Later when Jenna is throwing her letters, the remote has moved to its original place.

Revealing: When Jenna is in her bedroom with her mom, as she points to the pictures in the article in Poise magazine, "30, Flirty and Thriving," it is blatantly apparent that it is not Jenna's hand in the close-up but a body double.
