The Rules of Attraction

Continuity mistake: In the split screen scene when Lauren removes Sean's sunglasses, you can see that after the shot pans outward where both are facing each other, they are actually several feet apart. There is no way she could have reached his face from where she is standing. (00:37:01)

Continuity mistake: When Lauren and Lara share cocaine in their dorm room, Lara's face starts out clean. After a few quick cuts between the girls, her nose is dusted with white powder. There is another quick cut to Lauren and back to Lara, and the powder is gone, before she has had a chance to wipe it off or move.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Paul and the guys are taking the suicidal boy into hospital, the reflection of the boom microphone can be seen in the window to the right of the hospital entrance door.

Continuity mistake: In the split screen scene, you can see the reflection in Sean's sunglasses of the window at the end of the hall. Since Lauren is standing in front of him at this point, this is an error. (00:36:29)

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Sean and Mitchell are in Rupert's kitchen, Rupert snorts some coke. Depending on the shot the coke either changes position or is not there at all.

Continuity mistake: When the brunette girl is preparing to slit her wrists in the bathtub she turns on the water, then takes off all her rings and lines them up on the side of the tub. She then turns the water off, but suddenly her black ring has reappeared on her finger.

Lara: How do I look?
Lauren: You look kind of skinny, actually.
Lara: Skinny, really? Bulimic skinny or anorexic skinny?
Lauren: What's the difference?
Lara: Bulimic skinny passes for healthy, except your teeth rot. But my teeth aren't rotting, so.
Lauren: So you look bulimic skinny.
