Revealing mistake: When Jenna is in her bedroom with her mom, as she points to the pictures in the article in Poise magazine, "30, Flirty and Thriving," it is blatantly apparent that it's not Jenna's 13 yr old hand in the close-up, but a much older body double. (00:05:25)
Continuity mistake: When the six girls arrive for the party, in the first shot Tom-Tom tosses her blue jacket, then the second girl lays her red jacket and the third girl starts to put her pink jacket into Jenna's arms. Yet, at the start of the next shot facing Jenna, she holds only the blue jacket, since the red jacket is gone, the pink jacket is placed in Jenna's arms on top of the blue jacket and then the red jacket is thrown into her arms from off camera, before the rest of the girls dump their jackets into her arms. Then in Jenna's close-up, the jackets are positioned very differently in her arms. (00:08:15)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna is 13, she enters the closet at her party and between shots from when she tells Tom-tom where the projects are, to the next shot of her, the blindfold tied around her seems to turns upside down. If you look at the pattern (stripes) it flips over. (00:10:05)
Factual error: After putting Jenna in the closet, everyone crowds together and plan to leave. One girl holds a diet coke can, which is obviously a more modern design, and not from 1980's. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: In the basement, when Tom-Tom tells Matt that Jenna is in the closet waiting for him, the TV is angled facing towards the stairs. However, when Jenna looks out from the closet to see everyone gone, the TV is facing the closet. (00:11:20)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna first walks around after turning 30, the camera pans around the apartment and we get a good view of the small glass table in the lounge, and there is a remote control next to a magazine. When Jenna goes and sits on the yellow chair though, the remote is now on the magazine. Later when Jenna is throwing her letters, the remote has moved to its original place. (00:13:30 - 00:14:45)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna first sees herself in the mirror as 30 she falls over the side and then looks over it into the mirror. In a shot facing her, only her left arm is on the side. Then in the next behind shot now both her arms are on the side. When it cuts back to the previous angle only her left arm is on the side again. (00:13:50)
Continuity mistake: In her apartment Jenna walks out into the hallway, looks at herself in the mirror and stumbles backwards over the shelf behind her. There is a short stack of magazines on that shelf, yet when Jenna looks at herself in the mirror the stack of magazines is at least three times as high in the reflection. (00:14:10)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna sees herself in the mirror and topples backward over the shelf, there's a tall floor lamp directly behind the striped armchair with an ottoman. As Jenna gets to her feet, we also see there's nothing beside the armchair's arm. When Jenna's new appearance shocks her and she whispers, "What is happening?" the floor lamp has vanished, and now a small table with a plant appears beside the armchair. (00:14:20)
Factual error: When Jenna first wakes up 30 years old and calls her parents, she dials 7 keys on the phone. Since her parents are in NJ and she is in NYC, she would've had to made 11 keystrokes (1 + areacode + 7 digit phone number) to get to their voicemail. (00:15:20)
Factual error: When Jenna looks at her mail, her address is 61 5th Ave, 7C, NY, NY. When she goes outside, you can see, she lives at 51 5th Ave, NY, NY. (00:15:20 - 00:16:57)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna is walking with the umbrella down the hall of her apartment, in the first shot the umbrella is latched closed and Jenna unlatches it so that the umbrella can open up. In the very next shot it is back together, then it's unlatched again. (00:15:35)
Continuity mistake: In her apartment, when Jenna walks into the hallway as she hears the musical tone of her cell phone, the position of her white coat differs in the wide shot and close-up and then when she runs out of her apartment as well. (00:15:50)
Continuity mistake: When Alex walks into the hallway wearing a towel, the towel is wrapped around him differently in the first shot when he asks Jenna for conditioner and then when he whips the towel off. (00:16:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Lucy closes the car door after Jenna finally gets in, you can see the microphone and boom pole through the reflection of the car. (00:17:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna's boss puts the Sparkle magazine cover on the wall next to the Poise cover, they are only about 1/4" apart. This is very clear when he is talking about the numbers (11 vs 10) because they show a close-up shot of the covers. He asks a rhetorical question and Jenna raises her hand; from that point forward, the magazine covers are at least 1 1/2" to 2" apart. (00:20:45)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna enters her office she throws her silver bag on a chair, and as she walks over to the photos you can see the bag is laying on it's side. When the woman knocks on the door you can see the silver bag again, but now it's standing upright, as you can tell by the straps/handles. (00:22:00 - 00:22:40)
Continuity mistake: When Jenna, as a 30 year old, goes to her office for the first time (after her first meeting), she opens the door and has no handbag in her hands, in the next shot it shows her closing the door behind her and she throws her handbag onto the couch. (00:22:40)
Continuity mistake: When Matt and Jenna are in Jenna's apartment, from a back shot Jenna sips her Diet Coke then puts it down, and her hand is still on the can. Then when it cuts to a closeup of Jenna her hand is now on the yearbook. (00:28:35)
Continuity mistake: Jenna's white drink at the party repeatedly changes - the amount of drink inside rises and lowers between shots. (00:34:20 - 00:36:00)
Answer: It's a Fruit Roll-up. She's wrapped it around her finger.
