Goofs

Can't Hardly Wait

Edit

Continuity

When Amanda comes down the stairs her hair is done. In the next shot when she reaches the bottom of the stairs coming in to the yard, her hair is very flat. Then Preston says "Amanda, I love you" she turns around and her hair is done again.
When Kenny enters the upstairs bathroom, he removes his backpack and takes a look in the mirror. His reflection shows him not only without his backpack, but in that split second he somehow loses his jacket as well.
When William goes into the house and gets a beer, he takes a sip from a half full glass and spits it out. Almost immediately after, he takes another sip, and the cup is almost full.
When Amanda is trying to figure out who Preston is, a girl in yellow tights walks past in the background twice.
When Kenny goes to use the bathroom there is a long line. A girl wearing a long, sparkling, tan dress is seen running into the bathroom twice.

Factual errors

As the arrive at the party, Preston and Denise have a debate about whether Barry Manilow wrote the song Mandy about a woman or his dog. Barry Manilow's version of Mandy is actually a cover of Brandy by Scott English. When Manilow recorded his version, the name was changed to Mandy because he didn't want it confused with Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

The movie is set in Pennsylvania, but the train station used for the finale is very obviously Union Station in Los Angeles (Correction) The movie is not set in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure where the original poster got that it was in Pennsylvania. The location the movie is set in is not identified.

Revealing mistakes

When the letter Preston threw away ends up on the ground, multiple things happen to it. Stepped on, walked on, gum put on it, hit with a hockey stick. Yet when Amanda finds it on the snack mix, it's in almost pristine condition. It would've shown a lot of wear and damage had it had all those things done to it.
When Preston loses hope after seeing Amanda being kissed by her cousin he tosses the letter he wrote to Amanda in the garbage, you see a silver Honda Civic next to the trash cans. The brake lights and third light are flashing, it was done in a rhythmic pattern to make it look like the hazard lights are on. In reality the only way to make this happen would be to have someone continuously pump the brakes. The hazard lights on that make and model would be the lights below the brake lights and would flash orange in the same rhythmic pattern.

Miscellaneous

At the beginning of the movie, several characters (including Preston) are introduced with yearbook entries. Toward the end of the movie, we see Preston's entry in the actual yearbook. The two almost match, but not quite; the actual yearbook includes French Club, but this is omitted from the introductory bit.
