Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Trip is introducing himself to the movie, he talks about the first time he met Lux. He says he met her for the first time when he walked into the wrong history class. But when they show him walking into class, the door says Language Arts. See more »
