Continuity mistake: When Gwen is watching the soap opera Santa Gruz, together with Eddie, in the front shots of the TV screen, you see a video cassette on the top of the TV with the heading "SONY". But, in the side shots of the TV screen, you see that the same video cassette is turned. (00:58:45 - 00:59:45)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen is sitting in Cornell Shaw's office, the green man moves closer and farther away from the name plate on the desk, between the shots facing Gwen and the ones facing Cornell. (00:24:30)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen and Eddie are sitting in front of the TV, the ginger snap box on her right flips over on its other side between shots. (00:58:30)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen meets Gerhardt in the florist they hug and the position of their arms keeps changing in different shots. (01:39:40)
Continuity mistake: In the lounge at rehab, Gwen walks in with her white shirt sticking out at the bottom of her sweatshirt, but in the next full length shot of her, most of the white shirt isn't showing. Then in the next full length shot, it's all out again. (00:57:15)
Continuity mistake: On the back window of the limousine, the words Just Married and the hearts around it change in the exterior shots and interior shots (seen backwards) behind Gwen. (00:07:20)
Continuity mistake: When Sandra Bullock drives the limo into the house, a beige sleeve is seen on the arm of the driver, even though Ms. Bullock is wearing only black lingerie. (00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: When Andrea, Gwen and Eddie watch the soap, in the wide shot of the TV we see the wall behind it. In the close-up of the TV, the screen is much higher in relation to the wall, the two notices on the right are not taped next to the window frame, the tapes lying on top of the TV differ and there is no book on the TV stand in the wide shot. (01:02:05)
Continuity mistake: Back in Manhattan, when Gwen comes home carrying a grocery bag, the carton of eggs changes position inside the white bag during the shots with Jasper. (01:34:20)
Continuity mistake: Saturday morning, when Gwen rolls over there is only a blue blanket on her and Jasper, in the shot from the top. Yet in the next side shot there is now also a purple comforter on top of them and there is also a blue pillow on Gwen's head. (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: In Cornell's office, when Gwen speaks with him he's drinking out of a brown cup. In the next shot there's no cup in his hand, and he walks over to the window to get one. Confirmed on commentary. (00:38:10)
Factual error: The sight of Andrea's body after she died of a heroin overdose should have been much more graphic. She wasn't foaming at the mouth, there were no needle tracks on her arm, and the cut she made on her leg a few days prior to her death is no longer there.
Continuity mistake: When Gwen is leaving in the car, Eddie runs up and stops the car. In the two shots from inside the car, the windshield wipers are going back and forth, but in the middle shot from behind Eddie outside, the wipers are not working. (01:32:20)
Continuity mistake: When leaving the bar, Gwen walks ahead of Jasper and seen behind Jasper are a man on a bicycle and other traffic driving by. In the next shot, the same man on a bicycle, the taxi cab and van go past again, albeit a bit differently. (01:36:35)
Continuity mistake: When Sandra Bullock is crying and being hugged by her sister, first, she has her sunnies in her hand but in the next shot, a reflection in the water, they're sitting on her head. (01:31:00)
Continuity mistake: While putting on Santa Booze, there is a string through a straw around Gerhardt's face. The string and its knots are positioned differently in most of these shots. (01:18:40)
Deliberate mistake: When the limo driven by Gwen (Sandra Bullock) runs over the white picket fencing it's not Sandra's face behind the wheel in the exterior shots. Also, when Gwen runs over the short white picket fencing, in the interior shot from the car the corner of an 'L' shape fence is being hit, then in the front exterior shot the end of a smaller fence is hit. This is cut from a longer sequence, the smaller fencing is seen way in the distance in the first shot. (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: While dancing at the wedding, in a wide shot Jasper throws his arms into the air, but in the close-up with his hands still in the air, he's surrounded differently by the guests. (00:05:55)
Continuity mistake: When Gwen comes into the bridal suite, between her front and back shots, her pink shoulder straps change position, the amount of champagne in the glass changes, the white cloth in the ice bucket isn't in one shot. The sunglasses on her grey bag disappear when she reaches into her bag and the bouquet with the ribbon, under her arm, changes too. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When they go into the drugstore and Eddie asks for the key to the men's room, his sleeves keep changing from being up at his elbows, to down by his wrists.
Answer: He was a hard drinker who did not take her sobriety seriously, and she realised he was not good for her.
