Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Steve Zahn, Brittany Murphy, Adam Garcia
Continuity mistake: After Beverly has her baby, in the hospital her father is going on about how she's fifteen years old and can't handle the responsibility. The movie, movie summary, and special features on the DVD all mention that Beverly was 16 years old when she had her baby. Wouldn't her own father know how old Beverly was?
Beverly: You want my permission to use a small amount of heroine forever?
Trivia: The nurse who brings Bev her baby in the hospital is played by Tracy Reiner, director Penny Marshall's daughter.
Question: When Bev drives to meet Ray to have him sign a waiver so her book could get published, Ray tells Amelia that Bev was his first wife. Since Bev and Ray never got divorced, isn't she still his first wife and his marriage to Amelia null and void?
Answer: Amelia is Jason's girlfriend! Ray never says if his Shirley is his wife.
Yes he did. He introduced Bev as his first wife, implying that she's his second wife.
