During the 'thinking rock' scene when Bianca and Wesley are sitting and talking. The hair on Biancas left side keeps changing in between shots, alternating between being behind her ear, and then covering it again.
Trivia:
Though the book and movie share the name, the plots are completely different.

Although they play classmates in the film, Mae Whitman is actually nine years older than her costar Bella Thorne in real life.

Bella Thorne's character Madison is written specifically for the movie. She did not exist anywhere in the book.

Bella Thorne originally auditioned to be Bianca.

The screenplay for this film was featured in the 2011 Blacklist; a list of the "most liked" unmade scripts of the year.

Mae Whitman is eight years older than the average senior.

The mascot is the same as in Easy A (2010) - the blue devil(s).

Nick Eversman is the eldest of the cast to portray a high school student and is actually 12 years older than his on-screen co-star Bella Thorne and three years older than Mae Whitman and Robbie Amell

Both Mae Whitman and Robbie Amell have played opposite Bill Pullman as The President, Whitman in Independence Day (1996) and Amell in 1600 Penn (2012).

Bella Thorne auditioned for the role of Bianca which went to Mae Whitman. The producers liked her so much they wrote in the role of Madison for her.

All of the school administrators are named after US presidents (Mr. Arthur, Principal Buchanan, Coach Grant, etc.), and Principal Buchanan has a photograph of President James Buchanan behind his desk.

The film is loosely based on the novel, of the same name

Duff means 'Designated Ugly Fat Friend'.

In the movie there is a character named Bianca and in real life the actress who plays Casey is named Bianca

Skyler Samuels and Ken Jeong also co-starred in Furry Vengeance (2010).
