Continuity mistake: At the party, when talking about the trip to Sweden, just after Mark says Pelle's invited them to an authentic hippie midsummer at his yodelling farm, it cuts to Dani asking "Oh, yeah."

Other mistake: When Dani is looking at the email her sister sent her, there are three replies from Dani shown below it. The first email is listed as being sent 1 hour ago, the second was sent 42 minutes ago and the third was sent 19 minutes ago. Dani then goes on her phone and the time shown on it is 10:17PM. Later in the scene, she starts writing a fourth email to her, and the second and third email are still shown as being sent 42 minutes ago and 19 minutes ago. She then receives a call from an unknown caller and the time shown on her phone is 10:48PM, but the amount of time shown from how long ago the emails were sent hasn't changed. (00:02:55 - 00:07:05)

Other mistake: When Dani is on her phone after trying to contact her parents, the phone is shown on the Recents page listing the most recent calls she has made. The most recent call listed is Home, where she just called and left a message. Then it is followed by Terri, then Mom, then Christian, then Dad. Each of the calls are shown to have been made 1 minute ago. The message she left after calling the house phone lasted about 45 seconds. Then after the call, she looked back at her email for a few moments before going back to her phone. No way could four additional calls have been made all within the span of one minute and still leave a message on the house phone. (00:03:15)
