Corrected entry: Given they share showers, it seems hard to figure out how Angela/Peter could've avoided being seen nude by any of the girls.

Correction: The movie has an entire scene explaining Angela showers when the other girls don't.

Corrected entry: Given Angela's really Peter it's never revealed how he could mask his male voice. Unlikely his aunt could've taught him how to sound more feminine.

Correction: Just because something is "unlikely" doesn't mean it's a mistake. It's not outside of the realm of possibility, hence it's not a mistake. His (very crazy) aunt has been forcing him to look and act like a girl. She's probably just conditioned him to speak with a lighter, more feminine voice. It's not exactly hard to impersonate a softer female voice. (I have a friend who does it all the time as part of his drag act.) You also have to factor in that Angela/Peter is still a child, and children naturally have softer, higher-pitched voices anyways.

Corrected entry: Jonathan Tiersten's name is spelled "Tierston" in the opening credits.

Correction: Copied from IMDb.

Corrected entry: When Eddie and the little kids go camping with their flashlights, the light reflection of the camera hits Eddie in the face.

Correction: Copied from IMDb.

Corrected entry: In the flashback with Angela's father in bed with another man, the two children are watching. The young actress looks into the camera.

Correction: The young actress was most likely looking at something in the camera's direction in the bedroom.(the camera is not supposed to be in the movie).

Corrected entry: When the lunch scene starts, look at the lower left corner of the screen. One boy, after taking a bite of his burger, stares right at the camera.

Correction: The boy is actually a girl with her hair braided back and is plausibly staring at something on the wall, out the window, at a friend, or off into space.

Corrected entry: At the end, when you first see Angela sitting and humming, a crewmember is visible on the other side of the bleachers.

Correction: It is not a crewmember who is visible here. If you look closely, you can see that this person is taking off his clothes. This person is the uncredited college student who appeared completely nude at the end as Angela, stripping off for his scene.

Corrected entry: Right when Angela's true self is revealed, he/she is shown holding a knife. Then it cuts to the counselors who discover her. When it cuts back to Angela, he/she is now holding a hatchet.

Correction: There is a shadow on the sand, which makes it seem as though there is a hammer / hatchet head on the end of the knife. But if you look close you can see that the smooth curve of the knife is still there, so it never changes.

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Meg comes up to Angela, taunting her, Angela's head position and the look on her face changes in each shot.

Question: Why did Angela / Peter refuse to eat much food at first, and also refuse to play volleyball? She / he could probably do those things without the secret being revealed.

Answer: Watch his first scene at his aunt's. He doesn't speak at all. Clearly Angela/Peter has had a withdrawn personality since the death of his father and older sister. So doing activities with other kids is one thing he wouldn't do, as for eating, a lot of kids don't at first if they miss home.
