Continuity mistake: When the six girls arrive for the party, in the first shot Tom-Tom tosses her blue jacket, then the second girl lays her red jacket and the third girl starts to put her pink jacket into Jenna's arms.

Then in Jenna's close-up, the jackets are positioned very differently in her arms. (00:08:15)
