When Jolene is working as a server at the outdoor banquet, she carries a tray with two Champagne glasses. One glass is full and one empty. The very next cut, she places the tray on a table, and both glasses are empty.

When Jolene is narrating about the trial of Uncle Phil she says that she needed to prove that she was 16 and therefore he was guilty of "statutory rape"; This part of the film takes place in South Carolina where the age of consent is 16 therefore it would not be statutory rape, he could be found guilty of adultery and that would have been grounds for divorce from his wife though.

Jolene can't be charged with kidnapping her son as she is his mother and still married to his father. At most she can be charged with custodial interference.

Also, no matter how much money Brad has, it's almost impossible to get a civil annulment once the marriage is consummated (as evidenced by Brad Jr.) and they've lived together as man and wife..

He would have to get a civil divorce.

When Jolene and Brad are at dinner on their first date, Brad orders their finest pinot noir, but the waiter brings a bottle of Bordeaux, as denoted by the shape of the bottle.

Jolene's southern accent comes and goes.

When the string quartet leaves the balcony, they leave behind their music and stands.
