• Continuity: When Landon first walks into the hospital to visit Clay he is wearing a green, checkered button-up shirt and when he enters the room he is wearing a totally different shirt with a grey t-shirt underneath. However, when he goes to the a second time to visit Jamie, when she is able to go home, he is wearing the same green shirt he wore when he entered the hospital to see Clay. It seems that the first shot where he walks in the hospital to see Clay should be put in this scene.
  
  
• Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, when Landon and Clay are on the tower before Clay jumps into the pool, the water is spraying out over the water like a regular high diving tower, however, when the tower is seen from below, there is a small stream of water, not a spray

We see Landon's hand touching her elbow, and as she is about to sing, she puts her arm on the table, pushing his hand out of the way. The camera then cuts to the view from the piano, and you can see that Landon's arm is resting by his side on the table.

• Miscellaneous: In the school bus scene, if you look through the back door window, you can see someone in the car following the bus wave.

• Continuity: When Landon and his mom are in the kitchen, in the first shot of Landon's mom she is breaking lettuce into a metal container. In the next shot of Landon's mom she is breaking lettuce into a brown wooden bowl.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jamie is in the hospital and is giving Landon her mother's quote book, in the first shot from the front she first reaches for it with her right hand. In the second shot from the back, she is reaching for it with her left hand while her right hand is stationary. In the last shot from the front she has the book in her right hand and gives it to Landon.
  
  
• Errors in geography: If Jamie and Landon lived in Beaufort, NC (as the sign says at the end of the movie) then it would be impossible for the scenes where they have dinner together and Jamie straddles the NC/VA state line to happen in one night.
