Continuity mistake: When Gail approaches Bev at the Bollywood event, behind them there's a juggler, who disappears at the cut. (00:36:25)
Continuity mistake: At the party, Angie asks the DJ to play a song. She does it grabbing him by the arm; she releases and pulls back, but she is holding him again in the next shot. (00:37:20)
Continuity mistake: Angie takes off her veil during the dance-off with the principal; when the two are dancing aligned belly to back, in the crowd behind Gail on the left of the screen there are two girls, one in pink and one in orange. They are side by side in the closer shots, but there are guys between them in the wider angles. It keeps switching back and forth. (00:39:50)
Continuity mistake: During the surreal 'negotiation' between the Dean and her vice over how many steps it takes to fire her, Ms. Plumberg's wisp is absent in the shots from behind. (00:48:40)
Continuity mistake: Luke invited Bev to dinner. Walking back from the car, Gail tells Katie to write a song for her daughter. There's an obvious cut during their walk, and in that cut it's easy to tell how the extras walking on the opposite sidewalk disappeared, while a new one appeared. (00:49:20)
Continuity mistake: Throughout dinner, Bev's steak and lettuce keep changing place randomly. Moreso, when she takes a break she puts the napkin on top of the food, but when she is back, the napkin is at the side of the plate. Between shots the cloth also ends up crumpled differently. (00:50:00 - 00:54:00)
Continuity mistake: During the dinner scene between Luke and Bev, Luke's glass sometimes (for instance, when Bev botches the band name and says "Moose") is almost empty, while being full most of the time. (00:51:00)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the little practice session with Victor, Luke tells him he could be a Beatle. Victor's hand goes from the bottom of the guitar to his mouth - it's not even the first time it happens in the scene, the takes from behind the child actor have choppy continuity. (00:55:00 - 00:56:00)
Continuity mistake: Talking about the musical qualities of rosewood, Luke holds the guitar with an upward hand, downward in the shots that follow and precede. There are other continuity mistakes in the scene, including a very noticeable one when Victor runs off and when Luke comments on the missing head of the painting; all of a sudden he's not holding the guitar at all. (00:56:10 - 00:56:50)
Continuity mistake: Victor takes off his headset when Bev and Katie enter his room, hands off; in the following shot he is touching the left headphone. (00:58:10)
Continuity mistake: When Gail rises suddenly from Katie's bed, she ends up sitting still with the blanket is draped over her shoulder, but she has her arm free in the next shot. (01:03:20)
Continuity mistake: On Katie's bed Gail says "Oh bless your heart, no no no" stroking her hair. She keeps her hand to herself in the following shot, then back to the angle of the first and to the stroking. (01:04:20)
Continuity mistake: Katie tells Victor that she sorta loves him; Meatball has his hand on Victor's shoulder all of a sudden. His hands also assume inconsistent positions when he keeps getting cut off by Katie a few seconds later, being open or pointing fingers. (01:06:10)
Revealing mistake: When Katie interfaces her phone in the backstage, it displays 9:40am. Bit of a weird time for an evening talent show. (01:10:40)
Continuity mistake: When Angie rushes to hug Katie from behind after hearing the evil stepmom's threats backstage, Lucy Hale's hair is parted differently between shots (she has more or less hair in front of either shoulders, and it keeps switching). (01:11:05)
Continuity mistake: Gail spills her drink on Guy's pants; both his lackeys stand up to wipe him with their ties, but in the close-up of Victor and Ravi plotting, on the left side of the screen the grey suited Tom is suddenly sitting. (01:12:10)
Continuity mistake: Between the first and second song by Katie, she turns towards Angie and Luke. Continuity errors happen there, with her doing twice the gesture to open quizzically the arms she was clutching the microphone with, to the mic itself suddenly switching hand, from left to right. (01:17:10)
Continuity mistake: Katie does her second performance, the song "Bless myself." Her friend comes onstage to help her out of the leather jacket. In the next wider shot, both girls are pulling at the same jacket between them...but Angie was already wearing a black jacket herself, and now she is not. (01:17:30)
