* BoringButPractical: In one scene the girls are all shopping for bras. There's a large table set out with a wide variety of colors, styles, and designs, and everyone is having lots of fun trying them out. Then Reverend Mother walks in, looks over the bras on the table, picks up a plain white one, and tells the clothier, "This one. Two dozen." The girls react with a CollectiveGroan.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Many of Mary's "scathingly brilliant ideas" run into this. For instance, claiming that they need to go to the bathroom in order to sneak off to spy on a rival school...something that takes them at least three hours.

Added DiffLines:

* PunnyName: Mary's first idea for pranking the nuns has her and three other girls claiming fake names when they first arrive at St. Francis. While Mary opts for a celebrity alias (Creator/KimNovak), the other three choose punny names: Fleur De Lis, Sandy Beach, and Pearl Ring. They manage to fool the nun who picks them up at the train station, but Mother Superior sees through it immediately.

* NotSoDifferent: The Reverend Mother says it's one of the reasons she decided at the last minute not to expel troublemaker Mary: both are strong willed, and Reverend Mother says she can't be less tolerant of Mary than the Church has been of her. Also because she sees that Mary's father is a rich playboy who's been messing around with the interns since his wife died, and doesn't want to release her into that environment.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Kate Davis and Sandy Mackie, who went along with Mary and Rachel's first prank, are not seen again for the rest of the movie. Likely they are avoiding Mary and Rachel so they do not get into more trouble.
