Directed by: Martha Coolidge

Other mistake: When Mitch calls his mom asking to come home Kent and his friends hear him make the call. Mitch then has some conversation with his mother. Kent and his friends begin recording the conversation at the point where Mitch says "I want to come live with you". The problem is that when the recording gets played back in the cafeteria the conversation is replayed from the beginning which was before Kent had begun recording it. (00:45:50)
Suggested correction: Kent starts recording when Mitch asks "Mom, are you there?" which is where the recording in the cafeteria starts.
Old Lady: Tell me, what's Einstein really like?
Professor Hathaway: Dead.

Answer: I found an internet reference that Hanks appears as an uncredited extra in the crowd scene. However, there's no verification, with some claiming he was in it, and others say he was not. I've seen the clip, and it looks like him, but not sure it is.
