Continuity mistake: The 1st scene where Harry blows a horn in Anna's ear, she chased him out of the room and her blanket was thrown over on the RIGHT SIDE, but if you look close when she goes to close the door the blanket it almost all the way off the bed on the LEFT SIDE. (00:01:35)

Continuity mistake: When Anna (Tess) is in Anna's room in her robe with her hair up, she is looking for the fortune in Anna's pants pocket. She finds it and drops the pants, but in the next shot they show a close up of the fortune and Anna still has the pants in her hand.

Continuity mistake: When "Pink Slip" are singing "Ultimate" right at the end, you can see a small group of girls clumped together behind Anna and her girlfriends, and in the next shot they are completely gone.

Continuity mistake: When Anna and Tess are on the staircase checking to see if the coast is clear, we see Harry and Grandpa eating cereal, where Harry's cereal box is seen from the back. In the next shot of them, it's seen from the front. (00:27:50)
Audio problem: When the band Pink Slip is performing their song at The House of Blues, near the beginning of the song, Anna's two band mates are looking at her and wondering why she isn't playing. Maddie (the lead singer) is looking at Anna and singing, but Peg (the other guitar player) is looking at Anna and not singing. However, in the song, you can hear someone singing a harmony note opposite the main melody. How could that happen if Peg wasn't singing?
Continuity mistake: Anna's friend, the lead singer in the House of Blues performance, had not very much blush on, but an overload of eyeshadow on at the rehearsal, but when she got to the House of Blues she had an overload of both.

Answer: You need to think back to the poem... "A journey soon begins, its prize reflected in another's eyes. When what you see is what you lack, then selfless love will change you back." It says a journey SOON begins, not immediately, and it says "WHEN what you see...change you back". Basically the switch happens SOON, the switch back happens IMMEDIATELY.
