Continuity mistake: When Sam runs into the RA's room to escape the press, she closes the door. When she and James leave the room shortly after, the door opens on the other side of the door frame and there is an "RA" on the outside of the door that wasn't there before.
First Daughter (2004)
Directed by: Forest Whitaker
Starring: Michael Keaton, Katie Holmes, Marc Blucas, Margaret Colin, Amerie
Revealing mistake: Early in the movie Samantha is in the rec room watching TV, she briefly watches Jay Leno who is dressed in a brown suit, with a brown & white striped tie. Much later in the movie James is in his room watching TV, and he briefly watches Jay Leno, who is dressed in the same suit and tie. It appears Jay Leno doesn't change his suits often. (00:19:20 - 01:23:05)
Continuity mistake: In the scene at the end when Samantha is kissing James and a little before that, you can see that Samantha's bun is quite low on her head and so is the tiara. It is so low that it cannot be seen from Samantha's front. After she walks outside (within 60 seconds of the kiss) the bun is higher up on her head and the tiara is visible from the front.
Trivia: Coincidentally, another film with a similar story was made around the same time - "Chasing Liberty." That film came out first and flopped at the box office. Its failure caused the producers of this film to push back its release date, as they wanted to distance the film from "Chasing Liberty" as much as possible. Unfortunately the tactic failed, and this film did even worse at the box office.
Samantha Mackenzie: I'm the devil, See?
James Lansome: Lucky Charm secure.
James Lansome: Actually, I think I completely understand what you're going through.
Samantha Mackenzie: You do?
James Lansome: This one time, I won the class spelling bee. I couldn't get from point A to point B without people watching my every move. I had to avoid the press, the paparazzi. And the women. My God, the women, Sam. The number of training bras left in my locker could fill the support needs of an entire country.
