Isabel helps Anna get her trees to look real. She paints some leaves on the tree; they are minimal but very big strokes and exceed the sides of the tree. In the next shot, when Anna has a turn, the painting has changed - the "leaves" are tiny and there are suddenly lots of little neat ones rather than the ones Isabel just painted.
Isabel's rings constantly change from no ring to engagement ring to engagement ring and wedding band, in no logical order and often in direct conflict with the storyline.
The children are given a dog, but after that day, apart from one brief scene, it is never seen or heard of again, even when the family are all home together.
When the Thanksgiving pageant kids are waiting for their turns to go on stage and Jackie and Isabel are discussing Anna's love life, Jackie picks up a Bible to hand to a student who is playing Jesse Jackson. In the next cut, however, the student steps up to take his prop and Jackie picks up the Bible again to hand it to him.
Near the end of the yachts scene, an old man in a blue checked shirt can be seen walking by in the background. As they stand to leave a few seconds later he walks past again in the same direction.
Medical marijuana is not legal in New York, and they actually had lengthy and frequent sentences for possession and distribution of controlled substances until 2001 when Governor George Pataki launched a campaign to reform the drug laws.
Toast is seen automatically popping out of a Dualit toaster with such force that the toast actually leaves the toaster. The Dualit toaster (made in England) does not automatically pop up toast but rather signals that the toast is done with a bell and the toast stays in the toaster keeping warm until raised with a manual lever.
At the soccer game, Anna is shown running from behind one of the attacking players from the other team just after the whistle is blown for a kick-off from the centre circle. As defending players must be within their own half for a kick-off and the ball is usually passed backward, this would mean that she was offside before the whistle was blown
Ben surprises Isabel by hiding inside the kitchen cabinets. However, in the next shot of the open cabinets you can see clearly that there was no space for him to fit inside.
In the first "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" sing-along in Isabela's car, the final shot is from the outside of the car, as they drive along. The audio does not match the words the actors are singing.
In the scene where Jackie's doctor tells her the chemotherapy is not working, the boom mic is briefly visible right above Jackie's head.
Isabel is not holding the camera correctly but is supporting the entire weight with her right hand and using the left only for focusing. The camera should be supported by the left hand, with the fingers being used for focusing. The right hand is used to steady the camera and control the aperture, speed and shutter. Also, the long nails are a issue. The way she is holding the camera, her nails could easily get in the way.
