Revealing mistake: Katie Holmes appears to have a bandage on her finger way before she actually gets hurt. When Bobby hangs the turkey drawing on the door and she kisses him goodbye, the bandage is on her finger, but it's not until she peels the potatoes that her finger is cut. (00:14:25 - 00:24:50)
Pieces of April (2003)
Directed by: Peter Hedges
Starring: Oliver Platt, Katie Holmes, Patricia Clarkson, Alison Pill, Derek Luke
Continuity mistake: As April walks up the stairs after finding out that her family left, she pops all the balloons. But when she reaches a turn in the stairs, she rips down the orange crepe paper and lets it fall to the steps. The crepe paper was still stapled to the wall though, and in reality would have ripped instead of all coming down in one piece.
Visible crew/equipment: When Latrell brings Bobby to the thrift store and opens the front door, the reflections of the cameraman, camera, and the guy holding up the reflector screen can be seen on the glass door. (00:37:35)
Trivia: April uses her bedspread as a tablecloth. The same bedspread she and her boyfriend had had sex on earlier in the day. Eeewww.
April Burns: I'm the first pancake.
Evette: What do you mean?
Eugene: She's the one you're supposed to throw out.
Bobby: You didn't even know my mother and I pity you for that.
Joy Burns: I don't know why I'm so hard on you Beth, when you've always been the daughter of my dreams. We're almost the same person, except I don't have your weight problems and you're making the same mistakes I did and I wish you would make your own.
