Visible crew/equipment: After the math class scene, we see Marcus from behind as he walks toward the bulletin board to sign up for the talent show. In the upper right corner of the frame, there are someone's feet/black shoes and edge of a garment dangling from above. If they don't belong to a crew member, perhaps they belong to Ellie, her part in the scene having been cut out.
About a Boy (2002)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz
Starring: Toni Collette, Rachel Weisz, Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult, Sharon Small, Madison Cook
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Will and Marcus are playing snooker, a close up shot shows that Will is taking a shot on the blue, which appears right at the bottom of the screen. The camera changes and he is at a different side of the table playing a long red.
Will: Once you open your door to one person anyone can come in.
Trivia: Brad Pitt turned down the lead role of Will Freeman on the grounds that it was implausible that someone so attractive would need to pretend to be a single father to meet women.
