Continuity mistake: When Ben Jordan and Stan are walking around the fountain, they walk past a long glass railing. The white sneakers of the cameraman can be seen in the reflection on the glass. You know it's him because he stops walking when they stop and continues walking when they do.
The Story of Us (1999)
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Bruce Willis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Rob Reiner, Tim Matheson, Rita Wilson, Colleen Rennison, Jake Sandvig
Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie when the family is sitting at the dinner table discussing their highs and lows of the day, the plate of food in front of the daughter changes. The first shot when she is complaining about camp, her food is visible as three separate items (meat and two vegetables). When the camera comes back to her, the food is all mixed together on the plate. When the shot switches back to her a third time, the food is three separate items again.
Other mistake: When Kate is trying to fix the laundry machine from overflowing bubbles, Ben calls her to tell her they are knocking down their old apartment. The phone rings and she picks up a cordless phone from the counter and starts talking without turning it on.
Stan: Love is just lust in disguise, and lust fades, so you damn well better be with someone who can stand you.
Stan: Fear is the main motivation for everything. That and guilt, are the two emotions that keep a society humming.
Rachel: It is physically impossible to French-kiss a man who leaves the new roll of toilet paper resting on top of the empty cardboard roll. Does he not see it? does he not SEE IT?
