Revealing mistake: When Beverly is trying two throw herself down the stairs after she finds out she's pregnant, the padding on her behind to go down stairs shows through her pajamas. (00:30:40)
Riding in Cars with Boys (2001)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Steve Zahn, Brittany Murphy, Adam Garcia
Continuity mistake: 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.
Beverly: We're supposed to be a team right?
Jason - Age 8: No! You're supposed to be the mother, and I'm supposed to be the kid.

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.
