Goofs

When Napoleon is waiting in the van for Uncle Rico to take him to the dance, he looks at his watch. The time and date displayed is 5:40 p.m., Thursday 7/17. (They may have forgotten to change the date on the watch -- how many school dances are in July?) After he starts running down the road, he stops to look at his watch and the time and date says 5:54 p.m., Monday, 7/21.

After Napoleon drops off the picture at Trisha's house, he runs onto the lawn. But when Trisha's mom closes the glass door, his reflection can be seen still on the porch.

In this movie, they are attending high school. However, the playground has an elementary school swing set and other children's equipment. This was most likely done on purpose though since with ruling everything else out, the crew would have presumably known the locations of the production where they were filming.

When Napoleon talks in front of his class in school about a current event he states "Lake Loch Ness". Loch is the Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Scots word for lake. Essentially calling it Lake Lake Ness. This, however, could have been intentional for comedic purposes.

When Napoleon asks if there is anything to eat, Grandma tells him to "make himself a dang quesadilla." She pronounces it wrong - it's supposed to be pronounced "kay-sa-dee-ya." However, this was intentional.

When Pedro jumps off the ramp with his bike, you can clearly see at least 3 blocks holding the ramp up, including one in the middle. When Napoleon jumps it, the middle block is missing so that the ramp will break.

When Napoleon is calling Pedro after telling Rico to leave, he dials seven numbers, but you only hear the sound for six of them.

When Napoleon is in front of the class doing Sign Language to the song "The Rose", none of the signs match the words being sung except the first line. They are signing lines from later on in the song.

The credits state that the entire movie was filmed in Idaho but the bus station and Big J's restaurant scenes were filmed in Utah.

Just before Grandma leaves, she tells Napoleon and Kip that she will be back the next day. The audience can see that there is a yellow teddy bear magnet on the refrigerator with nothing underneath it. The very next day, when Napoleon gets home from school, there is a note on the refrigerator that reads, "Napoleon, Don't forget to feed Tina. Love, Grandma :-)" By this time, Grandma has already had her accident and was in the hospital, which means that she never would have had the opportunity to come home and leave the note on the refrigerator.

When Napoleon is outside talking to Pedro's mother on the telephone, the boom microphone is reflected in the one of the door's windows.

At the dance a boom shadow pointing upwards is visible across the students' faces when the camera pans across room.
