Continuity mistake: When Sandra and Hugh are trying to get to the RV, a door opens and Sandra slips. She stands up with the help of Hugh and her skirt is completely clean. But in the next shot there is dirt on her skirt, supposedly from falling. (00:56:45)
Continuity mistake: The lipstick on Hugh Grant's cheek in his first scene changes from light, to dark, to light again. (00:07:35)
Continuity mistake: Hugh and Sandra are on the roof eating cake. In one shot, Hugh's cake is almost gone. When the camera goes back to him, there is more cake on his plate. (00:37:20)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy is pushing the elevator button to George's penthouse in her bridesmaid dress, she's wearing only one glove. When she's in his closet helping him pick out clothes and giving her 'two weeks notice', she's still only wearing one glove, but now it's on the other hand. (00:25:40)
Continuity mistake: During the scene in the coffee room with Alicia Witt after the tennis match, the things in Hugh Grant's hand changes with each shot. First it's a spoon, then nothing, then a spoon, then creamer, then a coffee pot, and finally back to nothing. (01:02:20)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning scene where Sandra Bullock is lying down to block the destruction of the building the crane operator is wearing shorts. When there is a close-up of his lower leg and foot pushing on the gas, you see long jeans. This goes back and forth several times. (00:03:30)
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 her parents are talking on the street, Lucy says "Wait a minute, our community centre! My community centre!" When and after she says this, the Forbes magazine she has goes from being under her arm, to in her left hand, then into her right hand between shots. (00:04:55)
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 goes to George's penthouse she has a white envelope in her hand. She talks to the assistant for a minute and then leaves, getting back into the elevator with the envelope. When she exits the building, it is gone. (01:14:50)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy and her two friends lay down in protest Lucy shouts 'We prevailed!' because the bulldozer stopped. As she says this her bag is laying on her chest, but in the next wide shot of her, her bag is to her side. (00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy sits on the railing and looks at the community centre, her hair alternates from being behind her shoulder to over it then back to behind it again between shots. (00:14:50)
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)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy is sitting on the couch prior to spitting her gum on the floor, in one shot both her hands are together on her lap, then when the shot changes, one arm is on the edge of the couch and she has her head resting on it, the other hand still on her lap. (00:31:10)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy collapses on George's yacht a wine bottle in a cooler appears on a small table right where they are standing. (00:44:40)
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the bathroom where Sandra is stuck in Hugh's belt her hair colour changes, it is much darker in one shoot. On the DVD with commentary they tell you it's a reshoot. (00:33:55)
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)
Continuity mistake: After Lucy helps George to select a suit he sits down in a chair with the suit over the backrest. In two close-ups the chair is placed in a niche, while in all wide shots the chair is placed at the corner of this niche. (00:26:35)
Continuity mistake: During the scene where George and Lucy are in the store buying clothes, George puts a red shirt on top of the stack in Lucy's hands. After Lucy breaks the mannequin the red shirt disappears and reappears again between shots. (00:24:15)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy meets George for the first time she is wearing a transparent blouse which is tied with a string at the neck. While they talk outside the blouse is closed and the knot is in the middle, but when she enters his car the blouse is open and the knot is shifted to the left. A similar thing happens in the following scene when she is sitting on a railing, looking at the community center, and her blouse closes between shots. (00:13:20 - 00:15:05)
