Valentine's Again picture

Continuity mistake: When Kat wakes up for the second go-around of Valentine's Day (the first repetition), she scoffs at the text from Bradley, her date who bailed on her. When the text is inserted onscreen, it matches the original day's, mentioning their planned dinner and first in-person meeting. When her phone's actual screen is shown, the text from Bradley is an invitation to breakfast. They never had or planned a breakfast. The wording is very similar to Danny's invitation at the end of the movie.

Lean on Pete picture

Continuity mistake: The car that hit Pete did not veer off the road, but the car's headlights were shining toward waist-high weeds (as well as past the repositioned Pete).
