You see this couple a bunch of times during the movie. (00:20:20 - 00:22:00)

But when they shoot back to Josie the strap of her back has moved. (00:11:20)

Continuity mistake: In the movie there is a scene where Drew Barrymore is remembering high school. It shows a boy walking towards her holding a Pepsi One can.
