Factual error: The extractor fan shouldn't have sucked the hair into the kitchen, as extractor fans blow air from inside to outside.

Continuity mistake: When Stifler is in the linen closet it is completely dark. Finch and friend open the door and the closet is lit. After that they close the door, but the inside of the door remains lit. When the shot changes to the other side, the closet is completely dark again, without a source to light the inside of the door.

Continuity mistake: Throughout the film, Michelle's hair changes from being long to shorter to longer again. It's easy to spot when she is wearing her hair down.

Continuity mistake: During the bachelor party, the cop stripper rips open her top and shoves Michelle's mother's face into her chest. In the next shot the stripper's top is buttoned.

Character mistake: When Cadence meets the group at the airport and Finch comments "you're reading Descartes", she responds by utterly butchering the line "cogito, ergo sum." Odd that a student of Descartes would be unfamiliar with how to pronounce his most famous statement-somewhat analogous to a student of Einstein not knowing e=mc^2.

Continuity mistake: When Jim's dad goes to see Michelle (when she's trying to write her vows), her hair and makeup are done for the wedding, and her hair is in a French twist. Later, when Michelle and Jim are having their first dance, her hair is in a curly bun sort of style.

Stifler: Motherfucker.
Finch: [Grinning.] Yes I am.

Trivia: At the rehearsal dinner, Eugene Levy winces when Fred Willard wishes the bride and groom "many happy shivas" together. A shiva is the traditional Jewish ritual of mourning the loss of an immediate family member.

More trivia for American Wedding

Question: Jim and Michelle had been dating since the end of Jim's first year of college. Isn't it strange that in all that time he hadn't met Michelle's parents until the day of the engagement party? Jim and Michelle went to the same high school, so her parents must have lived reasonably close by.

Answer: As I remember, there was a scene where someone says, "Michelle's parents are flying in for the wedding."

Answer: They brought the dogs and said they had been cooped up in the cars for hours when Jim's parents asked how their trip was. So it would make sense they drove.
