Corrected entry: A big deal is made in the movie of how the daughter Hadley has returned from college with a fiance and pregnant. Yet we never see Hadley come full term in her pregnancy and there is no sign of a baby or a miscarriage, before the comment later in the movie, when at a family dinner she announces she is pregnant "again".
The Upside Of Anger (2005)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mike Binder
Starring: Kevin Costner, Joan Allen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell, Alicia Witt, Erika Christensen
Continuity mistake: The morning Joan Allen is making lunch for her daughters, all three girls go out wearing full winter gear: gloves, scarves, hats, heavy coats. A scene later, that same morning, Joan Allen is outside and the trees and grass are completely green, as if it were summer - no hint of anything remotely related to winter.
Lavender "Popeye" Wolfmeyer: People don't know how to love. They bite rather than kiss. They slap rather than stroke. Maybe it's because they recognize how easy it is for love to go bad, to become suddenly impossible... unworkable, an exercise of futility. So they avoid it and seek solace in angst, and fear, and aggression, which are always there and readily available. Or maybe sometimes... they just don't have all the facts.
Trivia: While the radio station (101 WRIF) and the DJ, Arthur P are real in the Detroit area, Arthur's show is depicted as starting in the late morning after Denny's show (10-11am). In reality, Arthur P's show has had the 3pm time slot for the past 35 years - something the Detroit resident/writer/director, Mike Binder, would know.

Correction: Just to clarify, if you listen carefully at that dinner scene, when Hadley is standing up talking she says something like, "We have the babysitter tonight for the baby." The reference is made to them having the night off from the baby, so there is a sign of the baby she had. Additionally, it is unnecessary to show her at full term onscreen.
