Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the film Ruby says goodbye to her family and gets in the car to head to college. The car pulls away from her home and drives for about 5 seconds when Ruby yells "stop the car". She exits the car which is positioned nearly exactly where it was when they started on the families' property.
Revealing mistake: The fish they were catching were already dead.
Factual error: When the Coast Guard is calling the fishing vessel, a Cobra CB (citizen's band) radio is pictured with the sound track of a Coast Guard message. The Coast Guard does not broadcast on Citizen's Band. They use the VHF Marine channels instead.
