Mistake Continuity: When Sophie is in the lady's room and Alex has her change her clothes so she can confront her ex-boyfriend in style, her hair changes dramatically from shot to shot, from being smooth and fairly neat to being frizzed out and messy, and then smoother again. At no time does she actually brush or comb it.

Mistake Continuity: When Alex is in the cafe talking to Sophie. The amount of muffin he has taken changes throughout.

Mistake Factual error: When Sophie is babysitting her sister's kids, they show her playing a dance game. In one shot of the TV, you can see there is no arrows going up but she is still dancing.

Mistake Factual error: In the Pop Goes My Heart video, the keyboard is a Roland D-50. At the start of the video it's said that it was from 1984. The D-50 wasn't released until 1987 to compete with the Yamaha DX7.

Mistake Continuity: When Alex and Sophie are recording the demo the computer is not recording.

Mistake Continuity: When Sophie and Alex are in the coffee shop, there is a shot of Alex (over his shoulder) and he has his hand around his coffee cup.

And in the next shot (facing him), he is holding it again.

Mistake Continuity: When Alex and Sophie are in the CD shop the way she holds the CD changes throughout the scene.

Mistake Continuity: When Alex is preforming at the amusement park there is a shot from behind Sophie putting her sunglasses up and bringing her hand down. The camera then switches to the front of Sophie and she brings her hand down again.

Mistake Continuity: In the morning after Alex and Suzie sleep together, Suzie is holding a blanket around her and talking to Alex. The position of the blanket changes between shots throughout the entire scene.

Mistake Continuity: When Alex and Sophie are celebrating after Cora liked the song. In one shot Sophie is being hugged. In the next shot she is standing perfectly still on her own.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Alex is singing the duet with Cora, there are numerous occasions where the positions of Alex's hands don't match from shot to shot. For instance, in one shot he'll have both hands on the microphone, then in the next it's only one, then back again in the next.

Mistake Continuity: While Susie is standing beneath the helicopter, her hair blowing in the wind constantly changes between shots. Sometimes it's covering her face, sometimes it's blowing over her head, etc.
