The top mistakes in Riding in Cars with Boys http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1630 en Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:55:01 +0000 11103 In the scene on the sidewalk where Bev is pretending Faye is her mom (and she's practicing to tell her mom that she's pregnant) the same people walk by several times. I don't think there was a single shot-reverse-shot sequence that had the right people walking by at the right time. You saw the same couple, for example, walk by at least four different times. 21177 In the scene near the end of the film where Drew and her son are in the car together and Drew is in the passenger seat, there are several close-ups of Drew's face. Her eye make-up, especially the black eye-liner, changes at least 5 times in the space of about 10 minutes. 29220 When Bev and Jason are on their way to visit Ray to get the form signed, they stop at a diner. Jason uses the phone to call Amelia and Bev orders 2 black coffees to go. After she leaves the bathroom and Jason hangs up the phone, Bev walks out the door and says "Jason are you coming?" and Jason grabs the coffees, but neither of them ever pay for them. 18680 When Drew Barrymore and Steve Zahn are in the car together about to make out for the first time, Steve Zahn tells Drew Barrymore that she doesn't want to get involved with a guy like him. Immediately after this, the shots switch between Drew and Steve, and Drew's hand alternates between on the top of the seat, and down by her lap. 21176 The movie takes place in Connecticut from 1961-1986. All the cars in the movie have license plates on their front bumpers, but Connecticut didn't require front plates until just a few years ago (late 90s-early 00s).
