Corrected entry: In the beginning when Savanna and John start writing each other, her letters are addressed to SSGT Tyree, (which is an E-6 in the Army) but in certain shots when he's reading them, his rank is a SGT (E-5). Later in the movie his rank is correct on his uniform.
Dear John (2010)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Lasse Hallström
Starring: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, Richard Jenkins, Henry Thomas
Continuity mistake: The first time we see John helping Savannah build the new house, he is on the roof and there are 6 rafter trusses installed. About one minute later he is helping put plywood on the wall, and now there are only 3 roof trusses installed. (00:22:30 - 00:23:20)
Savannah Curtis: The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all.
