Other mistake: In one scene, Janey's brother Cody is being picked on by a group of guys, and Janey is trying to get rid of them. When Jake breaks up the group, Cody throws a punch and accidentally hits Jake. If you watch closely in the next shot, Cody makes the mistake of looking directly into the camera for about a half-second. This is also pointed out by the director on the DVD commentaries. (00:30:29)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jake sings "Janey's got a gun," the people in the crowd behind her scatter. One girl (in a tan coat) is carrying her painting. In the close-up shot the painting has fallen from one of the clips holding it, but in the wide-angle shot the painting is on securely. There is also a girl in blue jeans and a blue sweater and purple shirt sitting to Janey's right. She runs past Janey off the screen. In the next shot (a wide angle) the girl is seen again running behind Janey. Just watching it I think the same could be said about the other people in the class as well. (00:32:40)
Revealing mistake: When Janey falls through the stairs you can tell that it is a stunt double because she's really buff, unlike Chyler Leigh. (00:37:35)
Continuity mistake: During the scene after the football game when Janie, Jake, and Austin are talking in the parking lot, they are standing in front of the back of the bleachers and an ambulance. However, whenever Jake or Austin talk on a close-up shot you can see school buses in the background. When the shot widens, no school buses are there, just the bleachers and the ambulance.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jake takes his first snap, you can see on his left sleeve a Wilson "W". However, the shot changes once the ball is snapped and the Wilson logo is no longer there (it looks like they might have painted blue over it). Nice product placement? (00:57:35)
Factual error: When the foootball teams are playing matches, watch the football and youll see it spin like its not supposed to. If you're rightie, the ball spins to the right but various times it spins to the left.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the football game against the North Compton Wildcats, the team runs out on the field. It cuts to a scene of Jake waving at Janey and in the background the team is going through some drills. It then cuts to another shot of the team running onto the field. (00:51:25)
Continuity mistake: When Janey is called to the Principal's office she is covered with paint (on her face, neck, etc.). When she shows up she has no paint on her. She could have washed it off, but it still would have left a stain. (00:10:45 - 00:11:30)
Continuity mistake: When the guy get up and shouts "Janey's got a gun." there is no one behind him. When it cuts there are suddenly two people painting behind him. (00:31:15)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the song when they all pose with their hands in the air, some of them have different positions (head tilted a different way, different leg forward, etc.) when the camera does the panning shot from above. (01:04:35)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Janey shushes Jake her finger pushes his lip up. When it cuts her finger is just laid across his lips. (01:21:25)
Continuity mistake: After the twins are announced as prom queens it shows a close-up of Priscilla, who stands at the front of the crowd (closest to the stage). When the twins walk up the stairs, Priscilla is no longer there. (01:09:15)
Continuity mistake: When the boys are watching the girl use the loo, it shows a shot of the ceiling in Janey's classroom (just before the vent falls) and the ceiling is smooth, but when they fall you can see a part of the ceiling has been replaced by some loosely placed white bricks, which would fall easily. When they're on the floor with the turd all over them there are no bricks in sight.
Continuity mistake: When Jake and the twins are dancing the girls' hair is together in the space between their heads. Jake looks through the space and it is suddenly clear (the hair looks pulled back). (01:10:00)
Continuity mistake: When Jake goes to ask his sister for a favor, she takes off her robe and hops on the bed, spinning clockwise. In the next shot she is in mid-air, but there is no twist to it - she hops onto the bed straight. (00:30:30)
Continuity mistake: The stupid fat guy's supposed to die because he had so many concussions, but in the scene after the football game when he's on a stretcher and it collapses in the background you see him putting his hands out to make sure he doesn't get hurt during the fall.
Continuity mistake: When Catherine is taking off Janie's glasses she leans right in, but when the camera angle changes it shows this to be a larger gap. when the camera flicks around again she appears to be leaning in again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jake walks into the cafeteria and Austin makes fun of him ("he has a thing for butt ugly girls") there are a stack of wrapped sandwiches on sliced bread in front of the fat guy. A moment later, they are unwrapped sandwiches on hoagie buns. (00:49:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jake enters Janie's basement where she is painting, (after he says there was a hole in her house) the paint on the brush is red, in the next shot it is greeny-blue. She would not have had time to clean the brush as the different shot lasts for about 3 seconds.
Continuity mistake: During the football game, Jake is wearing a Nike shoe (black with a swoosh). After the game when talking with Janey it's got a cross-hatched design. (00:57:40 - 00:59:25)
Answer: She says "Peachy".
