Continuity mistake: When the three ladies are singing 'You Don't Own Me', they stand up and put their coats on. In the back shot, Goldie Hawn's hand gets caught in Diane Keaton's coat sash, but next front shot Goldie's hand is suddenly free.

Correction: While Elise has a cleansing mask on her face, when she looks down at the mail pile on her floor we see the 1st of Cynthia's mailed envelopes, addressed to Elise. It cuts to a closeup of the 2nd of Cynthia's mailed envelopes, addressed to Brenda, and Brenda opens her envelope, gasps as she reads silently. It then cuts to the 3rd of Cynthia's mailed letters - a closeup of Annie's hands holding the letter addressed to her, as she reads and says "omg." Then, there are a few shots of all 3 women, each silently reading their own Cynthia letters. At 00:33:43, Annie reads aloud to her mother, part of her own letter from Cynthia. Please, rewatch this scene, there are no continuity issues whatsoever.
