Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, there is a magazine article which reads, "... finally fall into place, only then will Tajikistan ..." The voice over - of the lady writing the article - says, "And only then will Tajikistan." (00:01:20)
Continuity mistake: When Ben walks into his office, just before he says, "What's up kitty cat?" in this shot in the background the woman with a black sleeveless top is leaning over a desk speaking with someone. In the next shot as Ben asks, "Where were you man?" that woman is standing by the coffee machine at the wall at the right. Yet, in the next shot, she's back where she was in the first shot. (00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: When Ben asks, "Where were you, man?" Thayer comes into his office on the right of the screen, as the shot cuts. Yet in the next shot after Tony answers, "Not at an orgy," Thayer just starts to walk in. (00:05:50)
Continuity mistake: At his office, when Ben starts removing his tee shirt, three women, holding their coffee mugs, are huddled together glaring at him in two shots. After he flicks the ad with his fingers, two of those women are walking around at the other end of the office, doing their work. Yet when Ben says, "No way!" he turns and sees the three women, still huddled together holding their coffee mugs, glaring at his body. (00:06:10)
Continuity mistake: Ben has to pick a shirt so he says, "Stripes," and in the shot facing Thayer, he throws the stripe shirt with his left hand, yet in the next close-up facing Ben, Thayer is tossing the shirt with his right hand. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben is putting on his shirt, he puts it on without buttoning it. The camera cuts to his friends for 2 seconds, then back to Ben. When the camera cuts back, Ben's shirt is buttoned and perfectly on. (00:06:45)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben is changing his shirt in his office, and the women outside are watching him, when he puts a new shirt on, the left side of the collar is tucked into the inside of the shirt. The camera cuts to a side angle, and the collar has mysteriously corrected itself. (00:06:49)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Andie is sitting next to the married guy at the bar, when his wife comes along, the shot changes to Andie's friends laughing. It then very quickly changes back to Andie and you see she is now standing up, and the guy's wife is sitting down. There would not have been enough time for the two women to swap places. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: When Andie first goes back to Ben's apartment and they kiss by the mirror, she is suddenly wearing rings on her wedding finger, when previously she only had rings on her right hand middle finger (these are still present as well). These then disappear again when they reach the bed. They then make another appearance in the scene in her friend's flat when she has the cat on her lap. (00:26:24)
Continuity mistake: NBA Finals-Game 1. Andie wants Ben to buy her a Coke. During this scene, the camera cuts back and forth between Andie and Ben, and the basketball game. When Ben first looks at the game clock there is a little over a minute left in the game. He rushes to get her soda, and when he gets back, she says she wanted Diet Coke. There is a shot in this sequence where the camera is filming the basketball action, and you can see the game clock with over 7 minutes remaining, even though they are supposed to be nearing the 30 second mark. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: When Andie brings the dog into Ben's office, Ben, Thayer and Tony are standing around listening to Ben complain about how Andie is driving him crazy. Tony is holding a white mug with black writing on it, and he hands Ben a plain black mug. Just as Andie walks in, the shot changes to her, then back to Ben and his friends. However, now Ben has a gray colored mug and Tony has a black one. (00:50:15)
Continuity mistake: When Andie walks in and surprises Ben at work, Ben shouts, "Andie!" and he places his light mug down and then it is seen next to the side pocket on the pool table. In the close-up of the dog on the pool table, the light mug is closer to the corner pocket, with the black mug. (00:50:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben just ran down the fire escape to Andie, she walks away waving. In the shot of her front side she's waving with her right hand, and then in the next shot (a rear shot) she has her left hand up. (01:08:38)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Andie is learning how to play Bullshit from Ben's dad, you can see before they start that she has three 7's and two 8's (and many more cards of course). Then when she looks at her cards to see if he really did put down two aces, she does not have any 7's or 8's in her hands. (01:14:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben is teaching Andie how to ride a motorcycle Andie's clothes change. At the start she is wearing a white top and black trousers which change to a pair of jeans. The jeans then change back to a pair of black trousers again at the end of the scene. (01:18:33)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben and Andie are in the bathroom together, after they have been splashed by the truck outside, Ben's shirt is almost dry and only a faint line of wetness is visible. In the next shot of them in the bathroom, his shirt looks as if has been just drenched a few seconds before. (01:20:12)
Continuity mistake: When Andie runs out of the party and Benjamin follows her into the street, in the front shots of her face there is a strand of hair blown across her chin, but in the side shots there is no hair. (01:39:30)
Continuity mistake: When Andie and Michelle are crashing at Michelle's place near the end of the movie, the cat on Andie's lap faces left, toward her head. When Michelle jumps up to answer the door in the very next shot, the cat is facing right before he jumps down. (01:42:33)
Continuity mistake: When Tony is trying to get Ben to read Andie's article about him in Composure, the title of the article changes from shot to shot. In the first shot, when Tony is reading some quotes to Ben, the title is in blue across the top of an all white page. In the next shot, when Ben is holding the magazine with Andie's article, the title is in red and black with a big pink heart in the background. The magazine also shows the same paragraphs on different pages when Ben turns a page. (01:45:20)
Continuity mistake: When the guys are looking at Andie's purse on Ben's desk, the two handles are sticking straight up but the close up shot shows the front handle folded over, and then the next wide shot shows them both up again.
