Continuity mistake: In the scene in which Gwen is re-enacting the soap opera for Andrea, she has gold dangly things in her hair. Notice in different shots the number on either side increases and decreases. (01:18:20)
Continuity mistake: While putting on Santa Booze, there is a string through a straw around Gerhardt's face. The string and its knots are positioned differently in most of these shots. (01:18:40)
Continuity mistake: While performing in Santa Booze, Bobbie Jean's hair at her shoulders, her black eyeglasses necklace and her neckline change throughout. Also, while Gwen and Gerhardt are performing, the bottom light on the floor lamp behind them changes positions in the close-ups and wide shots. (01:19:05)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen first finds Andrea, the shoe lace is on the floor with the hypodermic next to it, but in the close-up the needle's direction differs. Also, the sock monkey with its stuffing pulled out and the rest of the things are on the toilet. These things differ in their position in the few shots of the toilet. (01:24:35)
Continuity mistake: When Sandra Bullock is crying and being hugged by her sister, first, she has her sunnies in her hand but in the next shot, a reflection in the water, they're sitting on her head. (01:31:00)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, when Gwen gets into the cab to go home, she throws her bags into the car and gets in on the left side of the car. The next shot shows her sitting on the right side where the bags were. (01:32:00)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen is leaving in the car, Eddie runs up and stops the car. In the two shots from inside the car, the windshield wipers are going back and forth, but in the middle shot from behind Eddie outside, the wipers are not working. (01:32:20)
Continuity mistake: Back in Manhattan, when Gwen comes home carrying a grocery bag, the carton of eggs changes position inside the white bag during the shots with Jasper. (01:34:20)
Continuity mistake: When leaving the bar, Gwen walks ahead of Jasper and seen behind Jasper are a man on a bicycle and other traffic driving by. In the next shot, the same man on a bicycle, the taxi cab and van go past again, albeit a bit differently. (01:36:35)
Continuity mistake: Gwen kisses Jasper and says, "Bye, Jasper." before she turns around the collar of her sweater is straight and aligned. In the next shot of her turning around, one collar end is folded under the sweater. (01:38:20)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen meets Gerhardt in the florist they hug and the position of their arms keeps changing in different shots. (01:39:40)
Factual error: The sight of Andrea's body after she died of a heroin overdose should have been much more graphic. She wasn't foaming at the mouth, there were no needle tracks on her arm, and the cut she made on her leg a few days prior to her death is no longer there.
Continuity mistake: When they go into the drugstore and Eddie asks for the key to the men's room, his sleeves keep changing from being up at his elbows, to down by his wrists.
Other mistake: More than halfway through the film, after Gwen's room-mate has died of an overdose, she rings her sister on a phone that is not only "Emergencies Only", but it has no numbers on it. So how did she dial out?
Answer: He was a hard drinker who did not take her sobriety seriously, and she realised he was not good for her.
