Continuity mistake: When Lena's grandmother first sees she hugs her tightly around her neck in the close-up, but in the next overhead shot Lena's arms are over her grandmother's arms. (00:13:45)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Lena falls into the sea and Kostas rescues her, the ragged tear on the jeans' pant leg is about 3-4 inches long, where it caught on the hook. At the end, when the girls' various embellishments on the pants are shown, Lena's reads "Hooked on Kostas" with a stitched heart around what is now a very small, tidy looking hole. (00:21:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Bridget and Eric reach the end of the seven mile run on the beach, Bridget lies down on the sand and in the next close-up the shadows being cast are at a different angle behind Eric. (00:25:05)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the pants are being shipped from Tibby to Carmen, the mail clerk at the Atlanta Post Office applies two stickers - one large and one small - to the damaged package. In the next shot the stickers have switched places. (00:48:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: In the scene just after arriving at her grandparent's home, Lena is drawing and you see a good portion of the picture shaded in and yet the next shot of the drawing is only the penciled outline of the shaded areas. (00:52:40)

Continuity mistake: When Lena packs up her things before heading home, she grabs hold of a bunch of paint brushes (in a rubber band) and knocks over a mug with more brushes. When she kneels to pick them up, she sees Bridget's letter and leaves the bunch of brushes on the rug, but in the next shot the brushes are back in her hand. (01:36:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After the wedding, when the friends are in the gazebo seated at a table following the dinner, just as we hear "Together and apart" the level of liquid in Bridget's glass increases and suddenly there is a tulle bow wrapped around the back of Carmen's chair. (01:50:15)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The movie takes place over the course of several months, of course her hair changes length. Therefore not a continuity error.

Continuity mistake: There is a scene where Bridget is sitting on the beach with the guy she likes and her hair keeps moving from in front of her shoulders to behind them between shots.

Factual error: In Bridget's scrimmage scene she dribbles the ball all the way down the field to score a goal. However, the defenders of the other team were running away from her. In a real soccer game of that level the defenders would have been all over Bridget.

Tibby: Well, maybe sometimes it's easier to be mad at the people you trust.
Carmen: Why? Why is that?
Tibby: Because you know they'll always love you, no matter what.

More quotes from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Question: Did the pair of Levi's used in the movie actually fit all of the actresses, or did they all have their own pair? If it fit them all, did they have multiple pairs?

Answer: It seems nearly impossible that one pair of pants would actually fit four actresses of such different heights and weights. One of the "magic" properites of the pants was that they did manage to fit all the girls in the story, so it's probably safe to assume that different pairs were actually used for filming.
