Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the film when Dylan is on his phone and he jumps in his car, as he is about to sit down in the seat a car comes into shot just behind him. By the time he sits down it literally disappears. It couldn't have passed that quickly; two different takes or shots have obviously been edited together.

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film when Jamie is 'talking on her phone' in the bathroom you can see in the mirror that she hasn't actually answered it.

Factual error: When Jamie answers Dylan's phone and his ex-girlfriend shouts and then hangs up, you can hear a hang up tone. This isn't possible on a cell phone.

More trivia for Friends with Benefits

Question: Dylan and Jamie are sitting on the Hollywood sign discussing life. I didn't think it was possible for anyone to sit on that sign?

Answer: In real life, and since it's restoration in the late 1970s, it is illegal and impossible for anyone to climb and/or sit on the Hollywood sign. It is fenced off and electronically monitored by security 24/7.Unless they found a way to bypass the security, this is movie fiction.
