Corrected entry: In the beginning when Savanna and John start writing each other, her letters are addressed to SSGT Tyree, (which is an E-6 in the Army) but in certain shots when he's reading them, his rank is a SGT (E-5). Later in the movie his rank is correct on his uniform.
Dear John (2010)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Lasse Hallström
Starring: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, Richard Jenkins, Henry Thomas
Continuity mistake: John's staff sergeant military shoulder epaulet markings become upside down in the scene when he and Savannah are having dinner at her house when he comes to see her after his dad died. In a later shot shortly after, they are correct.
Savannah Curtis: Two weeks together, that's all it took, two weeks for me to fall for you.
