When Sam is getting batting practice from Carter with the machine, she hits a ball that bounces off one of the poles holding the machine up. However, Carter constantly yells "Ouch." after that, even though the ball never touched his foot once. [He yells "ouch" because he's afraid of the ball, hence the cringing whenever he puts the ball on the machine. Many. many people say "ouch" when they experience a close call, it is very common.]A Cinderella Story (2004) - 9 corrections

When Carter is driving Sam back to the diner after the dance, the road is wet. If it is in the middle of a drought, how can the road be wet? [A drought doesn't mean that it won't rain at all; it just means that the area isn't recieving a normal amount of rain. I live in Colorado, and we're considered to be in a drought. However, it snows or rains practically once a week at least.]
At the very end of scene two the camera zones out so you can see the whole neighborhood. The Montgomerys' neighbor's lawn (to the left) is very brown. In one of the last scenes when Fiona is being chased by the police men, you get a quick glimpse of the lawn and it is very green. [The neighbors lawn is brown in the beginning of the film because they are in the middle of a drought. the drought is over by the end of the movie when Fiona is being chased by the police men, which is why the lawn would appear to be greener.]
As Hal and Sam are driving to the diner (during the opening credits) they pass several 2004 cars, including a Chrysler convertible. However, the time line is supposed to be prior to the Northridge earthquake, which occurred in 1994. [The earthquake was made up for the movie, it wasn't the northridge earthquake so the timeline is 2004 and the cars are correct.]
It's hard to believe that while Sam has third-rate everything, works for minimum wage in a diner, and only has a cell phone so she can answer her stepmother's every beck and call, she can somehow afford an expensive vanity license plate for her car. [Personalized plates in CA cost only $40 more than regular plates - compared to the fact that she has a car and gas at all, it's not much of an expense.] Corrected by Myridon
I find it highly improbable that Sam's father was reading her a bedtime story at 4:30 am, as that is when the Northridge earthquake occurred. [This movie is not based on real-life events. The earthquake was just made up for the movie it was not based on an actual earthquake that occured in California.]
In the scene where Austin Ames is hanging up fliers with his friends throughout the school, his friend is holding the posters and then handing them to Austin. Austin isn't shown holding tape, and neither are the friends or the posters in the friend's hand; however, when he takes the posters he hangs them up and there is suddenly a piece of tape on each one. [Austin is holding tape, if you look closely.]You may also like: Mean Girls | Finding Nemo | Cinderella | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets | Freaky Friday (2003)
