(00:14:30)

Meet Dave picture

Continuity mistake: When the sergeant balls up the paper with the drawing of Dave and throws it at the cop, the cop keeps it and unballs it. The paper is clearly very wrinkled, but when he puts it in the fax, it is too straight for him to have straightened it out that fast.

My Best Friend's Girl picture

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the movie when Alexis is getting ready for her first date with Tank, her roommate is holding a cheetah print shirt. The shot changes and suddenly Alexis is wearing it, even though she has not had time to put it on. She is also holding a drink in her hand, but she never puts it down. (Although this is explained on the DVD's Deleted Scenes, it is still a mistake.)

Surfer, Dude picture

Continuity mistake: Addington and his manager talk about showing Zarno the "Under the Sun" sticker idea to make money. Trouble is he would already be getting royalties from it. Two scenes earlier, April May meets up with Add wearing an "Under the Sun" T-shirt. Therefore he was already making money and didn't need to go see Zarno.
