Movie Mistakes
When Jimmy gets to the bus stop after getting out the house, the reflection on his bubble shows it's not very sunny. But when he turns around and gets hit by the 'Bright And Shiny' bus, it's very sunny.

In the shot of Jimmy and Chloe tanning by the window, Bubble Guinea Pig is visible, but it isn't until the next scene that Jimmy receives him for Christmas.

After Jimmy goes aboard the 'Bright and Shiny' bus, his mother discovers he is missing and screams. Several quick exterior shots follow as her scream continues. One of these shots is an overhead of the street Jimmy ran along earlier, and is actually the end of the very same footage. If you look hard, you can see Jimmy in his bubble at the end of the street, turning and looking left and right. Since he's on the bus already, he can't be here, too.

When Chloe visits Jimmy's room for the first time, he reaches for his guitar and Chloe is seen from behind, at right, pulling her hair over and onto her right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder without any hair resting on or near it. When the shot reverses to show her from the front, her hair hangs freely down onto both shoulders again.

In the first shot of the movie, a nun is wheeling Jimmy in a hard plastic bubble down the hallway. If you look at the bubble a camera is reflected in it.

When Jimmy is first in his movie bubble, he turns the corner in his room and sees the stairs. As he turns the corner a crewmember's head is visible for a moment then he crouches.

When Chloe's boyfriend Mark is in Jimmy's room, he is smoking a cigarette and it is starting to burn the rubber, turning it black. But in the next shot it's fine again.
