Keeping the Faith

Factual error: Prior to the Yom Kippur sermon where Rabbi Stiller is asking for forgiveness for not revealing his relationship, the cantor sing the Kol Nidrei prayer, which is only sung once a year on Yom Kippur eve. Totally obvious mistake to anyone who knows anything about Judaism. Clearly Stiller and the script writers do not.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning scene where Brian is telling his sad story to the bartender at the bar, he pulls out a picture of him, Jacob, and Anna. Then the movie progresses to a sequence of their childhood, and then focuses back in on the picture. The two photos are different. One is a close up of the three kids' heads; the other is taken from much farther away.
