Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Drew first enters his hotel room there is a close-up of the "Chuck & Cindy" gift basket. In the next shot as Drew picks it up, things are arranged differently in the basket, and even the black and red ribbons are twisted differently. (00:42:20)

Continuity mistake: When Drew pulls into Clark Funeral Home's parking lot, it is sunny and there are short shadows cast. In a following shot, as he walks toward Jessie, there are very long shadows cast. (00:26:20)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Claire and Drew talk on the phone while she is in the tub, as she says, "I'll get there (Hawaii) and sleep," there are bubbles on her and all around. In her next close-up as she says, "I'll let you go," all the bubbles differ. However, after Drew asks, "When will you be back?" as she gushes in this shot, all the bubbles are identical to the first shot. (00:53:50)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: In Drew's hotel room, in the shot of him removing his pants while he is telling Claire about the volume of Samson's voice, there is a huge potted plant beside the doorway to the bedroom. When he tells Claire, "They met in an elevator," that 6 ft tall plant is gone. Yet, in the shot of Drew lying on the bed wiggling his foot, that plant is back. (00:48:15 - 00:49:25)

Continuity mistake: When Drew and Claire are in the ballroom near the end of the scene, Claire sets her glass on the table, then Drew comes behind her and hugs her with no glass in her hand, then they go to the next shot and she has the glass in her hand. (01:15:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When Drew finally arrives in Elizabethtown he sees townspeople waving and a sign in the window mourning his dad. As he drives past the glass storefronts, on his left the reflection of his moving car is seen with equipment mounted on the hood and back bumper. (00:25:55)

Super Grover

Claire Colburn: So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling.
