Visible crew/equipment: When Mitch and his brother are singing at the piano, a close up on Mitch's right ear reveals an ear-piece monitor that isn't there when the shot pans out towards the end of the scene.
Dan in Real Life (2007)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Peter Hedges
Starring: Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Alison Pill, Dane Cook
Continuity mistake: In the scene when the mom is making sandwiches she picks up a piece of meat and puts it on the sandwich in her hand but then when the shot changes she is taking that same piece of meat and putting it on the same sandwich, and you can see that she isn't taking another piece and putting on the sandwich because you can see that all she has on the sandwich in her hand is a piece of lettuce.
Dan Burns: You know that feeling in your heart? When your heart is just pounding, like it's actually outside your ribs. Exposed, vulnerable, but wonderful and awful, and heartsick, and alive, all at the same time?
Trivia: Dianne Wiest (born 1948), who played Dan Burns' mother, Nora, is only fourteen years older than Steve Carell (born 1962).
