Continuity mistake: In the opening scene the camera pulls back from a bedside locker to an over the shoulder shot of Kathleen Turner's character doing her make up in the mirror. Close inspection shows that the shoulder in the foreground is actually that of a double who doesn't quite match Turner's movements.
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986)
Plot summary
Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Barry Miller, Catherine Hicks, Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage
Peggy Sue was a popular student when she graduated high school in 1960. She married her high school sweetheart Charlie and had two kids with him. Now in 1985, Peggy Sue is attending her 25 year high school reunion. She and Charlie had a horrible marriage and are now seperated. At her reunion, Peggy faints on stage after being voted "reunion queen" and wakes up back in 1960! Now Peggy has to deal with her parents rules, her annoying kid sister and going back to high school all over again. She also has to deal with Charlie who is baffled by her recent bitterness towards him. This movie raises the question "what would you do differently if you had to do it all over?"

Answer: You DO see Rosalie in the past. She hosts the party at which Charlie and his group sing. And Jim Carrey asks for the lights to be turned out. She walks, and begins to dance with her boyfriend.
No, that was Maddie's party. Peggy Sue's mom said so when she asked her why she wasn't ready for the party, when Charlie came to pick her up.
I finally see her, thanks! She's to the left of Peggy Sue and her girlfriends as they watch Charlie and the guys sing. Then she's the girl dancing on the counter at the coffee shop when Peggy Sue meets with Michael Fitzsimmons the first time. I always wondered about the Rosalie plot hole.
