Continuity mistake: In one of the last scenes, Cate Blanchett is standing in the doorway of her son's room. She is wearing a blue striped dress. When she walks into the room, she's wearing a floral dress.
The Gift (2000)
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Cate Blanchett, Greg Kinnear, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Jeter, Rosemary Harris
Continuity mistake: Annie takes the photo album from her sleeping son's arms and she heads for the door, with the album under her arm. As she appears out the door, the album is gone.
Other mistake: Early in the film, Valerie Barksdale (Hilary Swank) visits Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett) for a psychic reading. Valerie has been severely beaten by her husband, and her badly black and blue eye is swollen shut. A day or two later she visits Annie again. Amazingly her eye appears to have completely healed, even though the other marks on her face are still visible.
Donnie: I asked her that myself one time. She said I was the only man in town that knew how to fuck.
David: You're disgusting.
Ben: I want icing, Momma.
Annie: You've had icing enough to put you in a coma.
Buddy: You're the soul of this town, Ms Wilson, and you just need to keep doing what you are doing.
Question: When Annie and her boys are coming home from the neighbour's place, next door, there's a blue light coming from the main bedroom. Leaving her boys, Annie goes into the house and there is all this noise that sounds like a radio not completely tuned in, of an evangelist preaching really loudly. Now, where is all this noise coming from: Annie's mind, Donnie's car radio parked outside? Or is it just for our benefit?

Answer: The TV in Annie's room.
The TV wasn't on before, and Annie is suspicious of the noise and light, which she wouldn't be if it was just the TV.
