Continuity mistake: Audrey's cup disappears when Jerry sees Fletcher through the plane window.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Fletcher is giving the homeless man some change, notice how the man has a bright patch of light on him. In the next angle it's not there. Cut back to the wide shot and it's back.
Trivia: Jim Carrey turned down the role of Dr. Evil in Austin Powers so he could do this movie.
Question: Wouldn't lying about your age constitute as fraud? If so, why was Samantha Cole let completely off the hook?

Answer: First of all, she's not "on the hook" anyway...this is a divorce proceeding, not a criminal trial. And second, this film has multiple inaccuracies in its depiction of the legalities involved (see Legal Eagle's two-part analysis on YouTube for a very good rundown); the fact that no-one brings up fraud is the least of them. It's not important to the plot, so it is simply brushed aside, counting on us (the audience) not worrying too much about it, like so many other lapses of reality in comedy movies.
