Landon and Jamie dance together on their first date. Pay close attention to this scene, as when the camera backs away to go into the next scene, you will notice the characters are standing still and laughing. Mandy Moore later revealed that they were wondering whether the scene was over so they both could stop dancing.

7. Plot Hole
