Continuity mistake: After the stapler fight George and Lucy have an argument in the pantry. The clock on the wall remains at 4:13 throughout the whole scene. (01:21:55)
Continuity mistake: After the stapler fight, George and Lucy are talking in the coffee room, and they switch sides. After they switch, the coffee pot next to George keeps changing places, sometimes it's really close to the edge of the counter, other times it's further away. (01:25:00)
Visible crew/equipment: You can see some of the film crew/equipment in the reflection of the television in the kitchen when Lucy is talking to her father. (01:27:40)
Character mistake: After George reads his speech to Lucy, she says it was fine except for "the split infinitive near the end." There was no split infinitive. (For example, "to boldly go" is a split infinitive; "to go boldly" is not.) (01:29:00)
Suggested correction: She was joking. She was trying to find something to criticise in his speech because she was still angry so she made something up.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are about to kiss, at first her head is leaning to the right, but in the next shot it is leaning to the left even though they haven't kissed or supposedly moved. (01:30:30)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy and George kiss in the street George has his hand down by his side, but when the shot changes, his hand is on Lucy's cheek. (01:31:00)
Other mistake: In the final scene, George is "shocked" how small the apartment is, but he shouldn't be surprised since he has been there before (when he went there for cake). (01:37:50)
Suggested correction: When they are eating cake on the roof it is at Lucy's parent's apartment, not hers. So he is really shocked when he is in her apartment.
I apologize, for some reason I thought it was her apartment.
Not so - in an earlier scene she mentions how she's 'back at her parents' house' (while phoning the Chinese place). She lived there prior to being given a nice apartment by George as a perk of the job. After resigning, she moved back there. Therefore the goof is valid.
No, it's her parent's apartment. She says she is staying there, you see her there with her Dad in the morning, George says "thank goodness your parents went to the movies. We'd never have all squeezed in" and she's ordering Chinese food from the same place she ordered from when she said she was staying at her parents. George may not have gone in when they got the cake, or he might not have noticed the size.
Continuity mistake: When Sandra Bullock falls down on the way to the motor home, to go to the bathroom, she gets dirt on her tennis skirt. The amount of dirt on her skirt changes from shot to shot.
Continuity mistake: When Hugh and Sandra are stuck together in the toilet, as David Haig walks in Hugh turns around, and Sandra's head is to the right of his leg, so from the other side we should see her face quite from the other angle. However, when we switch to that view, her head's hidden completely behind his crotch, making it look far more dodgy.
Continuity mistake: When Lucy is running to the RV and she falls, she hurts her ankle so bad that she can barely walk on it. However, when they are dropped off at the mini-mall (not too much later) and the helicopter arrives, she runs to the helicopter without so much as a limp.
Continuity mistake: When Sandra Bullock is having breakfast with her father towards the end there's a shot which ends with her having her spoon at the level of her bowl. The shot changes and now the spoon is in her mouth.
Continuity mistake: When George Wade and Lucy Kelson are dining in the restaurant talking about who will replace her, Lucy starts to put a piece of bread in her mouth, although her hand never goes near her mouth she is suddenly eating the bread.
Continuity mistake: When George and Lucy are on the boat, after Lucy almost falls down the steps, they are standing at a table. When they both go to walk to the end of the boat, Lucy picks up her wine glass. When she gets to the end of the boat, it is gone. She couldn't have put it down because when the shot widens, it isn't on the table in front of them.
Continuity mistake: During the baseball game scene, Sandra blocks Mike Piazza from getting the ball, and everyone around her gets mad. You can see the girl behind her and everyone else around sitting down, but in the next shot it shows Sandra on the big screen, and everyone is standing up again.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Lucy is in her work place, George comes in and gives his speech, then leaves. Lucy starts crying heavily and runs out, but then once she's outside, she isn't crying at all, her face is completely dry. Then she starts crying as she's looking down the street.
Continuity mistake: When George is in the bar with the girl, he is talking to Lucy on the phone. He grabs his drink, then the girl swallows her Altoid; he does not drink from the glass, and they show him again and the drink is on the table.
Continuity mistake: When Lucy and George are on the roof and Lucy is talking about what it was like growing up there, there are some high angle point-of-view shots of people on the street below. In these shots, the sun is shining and everyone has a dark shadow. But up on the roof, the sky is completely overcast, and there are no shadows anywhere.
Continuity mistake: When at the charity ball George and Lucy see each other from across the ball, as the camera goes back and forth between them the same lady with very long dark hair and a dark pink/or red dress is seen behind both of them.
Factual error: During the tennis match, Hugh Grant hits from the right side. Sandra Bullock returns it to him, but Grant is then standing (not moving) by the left doubles alley. The entire scene has people hitting errant shots that are improbably playable.
