• Factual errors: Maureen's mother comments that Juliette's father managed a Walmart in New Jersey ("Perth Amboy"). However, the first Walmart in New Jersey didn't open until 1991.
  
  
• Continuity: When the Jonathan Reeves and Cooper are chatting in the theater, you see Eric coming down from the jump solidly in the background. In the next instant he has fallen over and injured his ankle. His landing from the jump shows no imbalance that would lead to an injury.
  
  
• Continuity: The pizza that Maureen is eating at the bowling alley changes between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jody goes to a Broaway Dance Studio, she asks for a 5:30 class. After the class she tells Cooper that she had already had dinner, which shows that the class took place in the afternoon. However, right before they start warming up with the Mandy Moore song, two female dancers say hi to each other and one says, "Good Morning."
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Cooper is teaching Jody, Charlie and Erick the new steps, he is making them up as they go, but the understudies can be seen behind marking the double pirouette when Cooper hasn't even said it, as if they already knew what step was next.

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During the last ballet sequence that has Jody dressed in red, in the beginning shot her point shoes are pink. In all shots afterward, they are red. This is because she is wearing pink shoes the entire performance leading up to this, and as the camera pans down her body and back up, she is in a new outfit with new hair and makeup. This is a transition to let the audience know without showing it, that there has been an intermission and Jody has changed.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jody goes to Cooper's performance of "Stars and Stripes," Kathleen asks her if she is a friend of Cooper's. In a scene previous, Jody brought Cooper dessert "for later" while Kathleen was with him so she had already seen her and would have known that Jody and Cooper were involved.
