Other mistake: In the scene on Christmas morning before the party Ann and Adell are talking on a phone with a cord, Ann is sitting on the bed on one side of the room holding the receiver with the cord leading to the side of the room across from them, next to the TV. But when it shows a shot of the TV, the same phone that Ann is talking on is hung up sitting next to the TV.
Anywhere But Here (1999)
Directed by: Wayne Wang
Starring: Susan Sarandon, Natalie Portman, Hart Bochner, Eileen Ryan
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Natalie Portman and Susan Sarandon are driving down the road. When they are shot from Portman's side of the car, her hair is blowing and Sarandon's window is closed. But when shot from Sarandon's side, Portman's window is closed, her hair isn't blowing anymore and Sarandon's hair is blowing.
Continuity mistake: When Adele is talking to Josh on the phone in the morning with Ann sitting in the car in the background, you can see that the car is no more than 10 feet away. After she gets off the phone and walks back to the car the shot cuts to a far away overhead shot and now the car is probably 30+ feet away. (01:02:10)
Ann: He said not to ever do that to me again. He said that if you do he'll have you taken off to prison and locked up and you'll never ever see me again, and you'll have to eat ice-cream on your own.
Adele: You went too far with the ice cream business. He did not say that.
Ann: Yes, he did.
Adele: No, he did not.
Ann: And he wants to adopt me. He finds me very attractive.
Adele: ...Thank you Ann, Thank you. And your fiance will be back here in 2 minutes to see if we moved the car.
Adele: You never were a small-town girl.
Ann: Thanks for knowing that, Mom.
Adele: When you were four years old your father left you in the middle of the night.
Ann: So what! You left my stepfather in the middle of the afternoon.
