Other mistake: In the 'sped' class the teacher starts taking attendance. He goes through and finishes but he never calls the main girl's name or her friend.
Other mistake: After Mary has a tin of paint tipped over her head she runs out of the school, gets on the back of Slater's motorcycle, and they ride to the pool. Mary is covered in wet paint yet none of that paint is transferred to Slater's jacket. The back of the jacket is shown clean.
Continuity mistake: When Mary and her friend are outside of the school when the poster is being hung up, the girl is spinning a basketball on her finger - you can see a metal rod spinning for her when she moves.
Grandma Gallagher: It's time I told you how your parents died.
Mary Katherine Gallagher: What does that have to do with a talent contest?
Grandma Gallagher: Everything.
Mary Katherine Gallagher: I thought you said that mom and dad were savagely ripped apart and eaten by a school of hammerhead sharks.
Grandma Gallagher: I just told you that to make you feel better.
