Corrected entry: The first shot of the footlights on the stage showed only a few of them and spaced out. All subsequent shots showed several strips of lights (with no space between the the lights in the strips). They covered almost all of the front of the stage.

Corrected entry: Short glass upside-down on the podium disappeared between shots. When speaker left the podium she was carrying a tall drink glass. She did not take it to the podium.
Correction: First, there is no instance of a "short glass upside-down on the podium" actually disappearing between shots. Second, Claire DID take the glass to the podium - both times; first when she remarks about people who annually meet and moments later when she expresses that she likes Drew.

Corrected entry: Claire was talking on the phone while immersed in water in a bathtub. The first shot showed one container sitting on the bathtub shelf on the left side. All subsequent shots had two containers, both different from the one in the first shot.
Correction: The first shot is of Claire's feet at the foot of the tub, with a single bottle on the left. However, all the following shots are of Claire's face, at the head of the tub, where there are two bottles on the left in all shots. There are no inconsistencies.

Corrected entry: When Drew and Claire are talking on a couch, the background changes to a curtain and then back again between shots.
Correction: Drew and Claire are sitting on a couch in the Brown Hotel lobby, and depending on the angle of the camera the background certainly does change. When the camera faces Drew for his close-ups, it is facing the wall with the window and curtain, to Drew's left (viewer's right). However, when the camera faces both Claire and Drew, it is a head-on shot facing the couch and everything else behind the couch, including rest of the lobby with Cindy and her friends.

Corrected entry: While Drew's father was laying in the coffin his chin twitched slightly, in one of the last shots.
Correction: Artistic license. That was the point of those shots, from the point of view of Drew, his father was still smirking. Not a mistake, the director just wanted to show how Drew was feeling.

Correction: In the ballroom, there are four housings, which measure 6-7 feet, of multi-lamp borderlights mounted at the edge of the stage; each of these striplighting luminaires has fifteen circular lights. These individual lights are controlled by the hotel's stagehands (as is the "follow spot" which follows Hollie as she taps), and depending on who is on stage there is a "lighting plan" as to which lamps (bulbs) are either all on, or set to a specific pattern - such as one lamp on, the next two off, one lamp on, the next two off, and so forth. When Hollie, Drew and Heather peek from behind the curtain, only five lamps per striplight are on, and when Hollie takes the stage all are on, and when Hollie taps we see them change to only five per housing again.
