Character mistake: When Marisa boards the bus in the beginning of the movie to take Ty to school, she is on a Bx1 bus on the Grand Concourse and 173rd St going southbound. However, it is obvious Ty attends PS 33 on Fordham Rd and Jerome Ave in the next scene which is north of their location. It doesn't make sense at all for her to get on a southbound bus when she should be on a northbound bus. The 4 train is shown in the distance going uptown while she is walking up the stairs to the Grand Concourse. Why didn't she just take the train uptown since it stops at Fordham Rd in front of the school but instead she chose to get on a downtown bus? She is basically going in the opposite direction in real life.
Character mistake: In Frank Sinatra's scene in the taxi cab, when the girl is singing "Come Up to My Place," he rolls the cab window down and when he rolls it back up, he catches the front of his hair (the quiff) and has to roll the window back down to release it.
Character mistake: Tenango is a destination/rendezvous town, but at the luncheon a character refers to it as Durango.
Character mistake: Tony, as a cop, should've known to cuff Rose's hands behind her back. He also apparently doesn't cuff Harriet properly as she's left outside with them dangling from one wrist.
Character mistake: Co-worker Todd Pearlman tells Tracey, "Everything is going to change around here once I get the 'editor in chief' position. Hey, but don't worry. Nothing is going to change between you and I." The word "between" is a preposition and the correct prepositional phrase is "between you and me" - something a high school student should know and a basic grammar skill required for any editor or employee in a writing-related agency (publishing company). (00:14:02)
Character mistake: Throughout the film, Lucy's aunt is called "Patsy." In the final scene Lucy refers to her as "Patty."
Character mistake: Shortly after Jeff Sheldrake fires his secretary Miss Olsen, he contacts Personnel to get Baxter's phone number. When talking on the phone, Jeff says that Baxter is in Ordinary Premium Accounting and forgets that he promoted Baxter to an executive just weeks earlier.
Character mistake: The final deciding question at the Law Society quiz is "what was Madonna's first UK single?" Bridget says it was "Lucky Star" but the quizmaster says that is wrong. Rebecca says it was "Holiday" and the quizmaster says that is right and announces that her team have won. The only problem is that "Holiday" was not Madonna's first UK single either, her first UK single was "Everybody", released in December 1982.
Character mistake: Mitch and Hecky are experienced ranchers - so why, when they are all camping, would they leave all the food out in the open within easy reach of bears and other wildlife?
Suggested correction: Is this in reference to when Vicky throws the food everywhere? Mitch is obviously already up and about in this scene as he is wearing shaving cream. That may be food he has put out for breakfast for when everyone else gets up.
Character mistake: When Gilmore radios for backup during the Monument Valley chase, he is told additional officers will join them in Blanding. Kowalski hears this on his scanner as they pass a sign saying Blanding is 14 miles away. Kowalski then stops dead in the road and turns around, and the troopers do the same, yet when Sgt. Preston grabs the shotgun, he justifies firing on Kowalski saying "We're coming on to Blanding!" In actual fact they would be heading away from Blanding.
Character mistake: Flynn has been reading for a while, taking notes, spreading books around, etc. - when Nicole arrives and says that it was nice to watch take-off from the cockpit. The plane must have been in the air for a long time by then.
Character mistake: Jo says Laurie is a "captive like Smee in 'Nicholas Nickleby.'" There is no such character in "Nicholas Nickleby." The character Jo is referring to is named Smike.
Character mistake: The American flag at the New Orleans Mardi Gras is hung the wrong way on the building.
Character mistake: According to her biography found in the library, Elise was born November 11, 1885, but William Robinson tells Richard that he met Elise when she was 16 years old, in March, 1903, at which time she would have been 17.
Character mistake: When Greg and Rose are playing backgammon, Rose counts the middle of the board as a place to count when moving a piece, but the middle of the board isn't a place to count.
Character mistake: In the scene at Kerim Bey's office, when the bomb goes off, we see a heavy desk topple over. Bey says he was saved because he was relaxing on the couch with a girl. But he wasn't at the desk before either. He was sitting in some sort of sofa arrangement in a different corner of the room. We don't even see the desk before the bomb goes off. (00:32:05)
Character mistake: Circus Liquor is actually located in North Hollywood, not Sun Valley (although Sun Valley is just a few short miles away from there).
Character mistake: When Modoc is suggesting what type of blood to drink, he suggests pigs blood B-. Swine don't have B blood. They have A and O blood only.
Character mistake: Dean told Laura that Fiona's toiletry case was in his bag because "She couldn't fit it in her carry-on, so I put it in my luggage." Laura (who had no reason to fabricate the story to her dad Felix) changed the details, which she couldn't know based on what Dean told her: "There were some of his co-worker's toiletries in his luggage. But she couldn't put them in her carry-on for security, so he offered to put them in his luggage." Unable to fit in isn't the same as "for security." (00:13:05 - 00:23:57)
Character mistake: It sounds like the person who called him on the cell is not a secretary but also Cameron Diaz pretending to be a secretary. The same voice. (00:07:12)
