Mistake Continuity: When Isabel's father drives to the job site to confront Alex, he drives his struck straight through a giant puddle (mud, cement, maybe some other stuff) and it splashes everywhere. you can actually see it flying over the actors shoulders.

Mistake Continuity: When Akex and Isabel break up, Alex goes to NY and is sitting near a fountain. There is a guitar player sitting next to him playing his guitar with the neck pointing straight up.

Mistake Continuity: There is a scene where Isabel and Alex are sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon and she gets up to get his gift (the Gray's Papaya hot dogs).
