You've Got Mail

Continuity mistake: Joe reads Kathleen's email after he let her think her online friend never showed at the coffee shop, he pauses, then disconnects his AOL (you hear his computer say "Goodbye"). He and Brinkley pace back and forth a minute before Joe finally decides to write an email, only he never reconnected to AOL and the blank email screen is already up and waiting for him (you never hear AOL reconnect).

Continuity mistake: Brinkley, Joe's male dog, is obviously a smaller female dog, and she is played by two different dogs. One dog has longer hair than the other. The two dogs keep switching back and forth. The dog(s) never seem to respond to the computer screen or any other directed area, they are firmly focused on their trainer.
