Continuity mistake: When Giselle, Robert and Morgan are at Bella Notte's, on their table the pizza pan sits atop a chrome stand. In some shots the stand has a chrome cross bar, between its side legs at the base, and in other shots that cross bar is gone. (When setting up for the shots within this scene, the props guys simply turned the stand upside-down sometimes, which resulted in the cross bar either being on the table, or directly under the pizza pan thereby disappearing.)

Continuity mistake: At Bella Notte's, there is a pizza pie on table, whose characteristics such as sauce, crust, dough bubbles, three basil leaves, etc., change from the start of this scene to when it is hurled like a frisbee.
27th Oct 2008
Continuity mistake: When Robert and Giselle are at Bella Notte's, there is a red checkered tablecloth on the table. The direction of the broad red lines changes between shots, in Chip's close-up when he stands on Gabrielle's plate. First it's horizontal, then vertical - note the knife and fork.
27th Oct 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle stands on the livingroom coffee table as she sings, the hutch stands about a foot away from the fireplace mantle behind her. When she tosses the flowers into the vase, which sits upon the fireplace mantle, the hutch is so close that it nearly touches the mantle.

12th Oct 2008
Continuity mistake: At Bella Notte's, after Robert entertains Giselle with the magic trick, the salt shaker is on the table between them and the pepper shaker is at the opposite end of the table, beside Morgan's plate. When Nathaniel brings the apple martini both shakers are beside Morgan's plate, though nobody touched the salt.

Trivia: The exterior scenes at Robert's residence were shot at the Paterno, an elegant apartment building known for its long curved facade and its elaborate arched 'porte-cochère' at the front entrance. The Paterno is located across from the Colosseum (now owned by Columbia U.), another curved Riverside apartment building (albeit smaller), both down the street from Barnard College and Columbia U.
8th Oct 2008
Continuity mistake: At Central Park, when Giselle stops at the park bench and hands Clara the money, the tall black lamppost stands a few feet to Clara's left - between her bench and the next bench. When Giselle and Robert walk away, as she says, "And she was very helpful," Clara's bench is much farther away from that lamppost. Also, note the greater distance between Clara and the bench to her left and the park's signpost at the road's curve. (00:44:05)

Continuity mistake: At Katz's deli, when Pip stands on the cup scooping up the ice cube, the fork on the tray is to the right of the blue ticket. When Pip stands on the tray the ticket has moved to the tray's edge, and the fork is now to the ticket's left. (00:39:45)
21st Jul 2008
Revealing mistake: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side. (00:35:40 - 00:40:35)
20th Jul 2008
Other mistake: In his search of Giselle, when Edward knocks on doors 209 (hissing cat), 405 (barking dog), and 714 (purple guy), the funny thing is that in all three close-ups the three door jambs/trim have the same paint glob markings. The actual doors were changed, but the jamb/trim remained the same for all three shots. (Only visible on widescreen DVD). (01:04:05)
20th Jul 2008
Visible crew/equipment: At the apartment, after Giselle falls asleep on the couch, when Robert says, "Just because she has on a funny dress, doesn't mean she's a princess," and a few shots later, when he stands to call for a taxi, the side of the camera and the boom mic are reflected in the window to Robert's right. The boom mic moves in both shots, but the camera moves only in the second. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.) (00:22:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle opens the window in Robert's apartment, in the exterior shot, to sing for furry cleaning help, there is a set of three windows to her right, with a balcony. Odd thing is, in the interior shots the window she sang from is to the left of the couch, but to the right of the couch there are three French doors, not windows, that open to the balcony. (00:25:20)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: During her first morning at Robert's apartment, Giselle has made a gown out of the living room draperies, but the remaining drapes on the windows are a very faded turquoise floral and the color of Giselle's dress material is a bright turquoise floral, which is actually more similar in color to the lamp on the table. (00:32:00)
20th Jul 2008
Visible crew/equipment: At Robert's apartment, when he and Morgan stand by the window just as Edward takes Giselle's hands and later kneels, the actors' two T-marks are visible. The pink marker was for Giselle in the previous shots, and Robert and Morgan stand behind the orange marker. (Only visible on fullscreen DVD.) (01:09:35)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: During the cleanup, when Giselle opens the center French doors and stands on the balcony to sing, the window she sang from earlier is directly beside the balcony, to the right. The problem here is, in the interior shots there is a wall that is about 7-8 ft wide, between the French doors and window, where the couch is. (00:27:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When animated Giselle happily sings and dances, in the shot before she places the red rose on her "one true love", the room's round window is behind her. The very large vase with the bouquet of flowers is gone from the shelf beside the window, as are the other objects on the lower shelf. (00:03:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle gives the doves the heart shaped wreath to deliver to Nancy, as they fly off both sides of the wreath are seen. When Nancy thanks Robert for the flowers, the blooms differ. (00:50:30 - 00:52:35)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: After the turtle gives animated Giselle the red rose, she places it on the jacket of her "one true love". In the following shots, the rose repeatedly disappears and then reappears, particularly in the close-ups. (00:03:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: After Morgan smacks Robert with the pillow to wake him up, in the shot from the bedroom, she runs past the bedroom doorway pulling his left hand, but next shot, from the hallway, she's now pulling his right hand. (00:28:30)
