Continuity mistake: At Patricia's bar, when she and her daughters eat dinner together, Ciara picks up the platter of meat and bowl of corn salad, next shot they've switched hands. (01:00:05)
Continuity mistake: When Holly takes the garments from the dry cleaning delivery guy, the envelope and note reading, 'found in leather jacket' are visible under the plastic. When she removes the envelope from the bag, the note's handwriting is quite different.
Continuity mistake: At the karaoke bar, before Holly sings the second time, when Ciara and Daniel walk in she puts her coat down under the table, but in the next shot she's still wearing it. (00:48:45)
Continuity mistake: When William gets dressed after his shower, the necklace he wears keeps turning about, note the pendant and knot. (01:17:35)
Continuity mistake: When Holly talks to the leprechaun, his balloons keep changing position. (00:42:20)
Continuity mistake: With Holly's birthday cake came a tape recorder from Gerry, and in the wideshot Holly turns it on with her thumb, but in the close-up with her index finger. (00:30:15)
Revealing mistake: When Holly is in bed with William, and then finds out that he is 'Billy from the band', just as she pulls away from him to bolt out of bed, the modesty top she wears is quickly seen.
Factual error: At the beginning of the movie, we find out that Holly and Gerri were married when she was 19. She then turns 30, so at least 11 years have passed since the day that they met. However, when Holly sees Gerri in the pub on the day that they meet, he sings "The Galway Girl". This song was not written by Steve Earl until 2000, and they must have met sometime around the year 1996.
Continuity mistake: When Holly and Sharon are showing the apartment to the couple, in the first exterior shot from the street, as we hear Holly's voiceover and see her in the center window, all of the window shades on the left are halfway down. In the next interior shot, the shades on the right and left side are up near the top. (00:40:15)
Other mistake: When Holly and her mother take a stroll in the park, Holly mispronounces the name of her dead husband - while the name is pronounced "dj-e-r-i" throughout the whole movie, Holly calls him "g-e-r-i" here. (01:48:50)
