Revealing: In the very first scene in the film, the magazine covers are flashing up. There is an article called 'How to get a better bod in 5 days.' If you read the beginning of the article it says 'It Can Done.'

Other: In the movie, the dog that Andie bought for her and Ben had a black face. But in the inside of the dvd case by the chapter selections the dog in that picture is all white.

Factual error: In the scenes where Andie and Ben are at the NBA Finals games, it always shows a shot of the basketball players. When the clock is winding down, and it is supposedly a very close game, it shows the bench players of the Sacramento Kings on the court. Players such as Lawrence Funderburke, Gerald Wallace, and Scot Pollard only play when there is a huge difference in the scores of the teams, but in the movie, they are supposedly playing a very close ball game. Also, this movie takes place in 2003, which is the year that the Kings got new uniforms, so they wouldn't be playing in the ones that they were wearing. Also, when a team in the NBA enters a finals game, they wear new jerseys that have the NBA Championship Trophy stitched onto them. In the movie, neither team had this on their jerseys.

Continuity: At the beginning of the movie when Ben and Andie have met for the first time and they are outside of the restaurant, Ben gives her the 'goofy' helmet he threads the strap through the clip only once, in the next shot it is threaded perfectly in the clip to fasten the helmet.

Continuity: When Michelle puts the wallet down the first time, she puts it on the book. When she puts it down the second time, she puts it directly on the table. In the next shot that shows the wallet it is back on the book.

Continuity: When Andie runs out of the party and Benjamin follows her into the street, in the front shots of her face there is a strand of hair blown across her chin, but in the side shots there is no hair.

Factual error: When the 3 guys are trying to think of a slogan for the new diamond gig, Matthew McConaughey (Ben) suggests that they go play a game of 9 Ball to clear their minds. However, he racks up every ball in the triangle, which means they would now be playing 8 Ball.

Continuity: In the opening scene, there is a magazine article which reads, "... finally fall into place, only then will Tajikistan ..." The voice over - of the lady writing the article - says, "And only then will Tajikistan."

Continuity: When Ben goes to get Andie's coke at the Knick game, he grabs the coke from the vendor with his hand on the side of the cup. The next shot shows him grabbing the coke from the top as he turns and runs away.

Continuity: When Andie and Michelle are crashing at Michelle's place near the end of the movie, the cat on Andie's lap faces left, toward her head. When Michelle jumps up to answer the door in the very next shot, the cat is facing right before he jumps down.

Factual error: In the scene where Ben is bringing Andie back to his apartment after meeting her for the first time, you see the two helmets on tables in the living room, when obviously they just wore them on the motorcycle ride to the apartment.

Continuity: When Ben asks Andie to go to the party, he tells her that he wants her to go as his girlfriend and she puts her right hand on his shoulder. The camera angle changes to a shot from behind and her hand is now on his chest.

Continuity: In the scene where Andie is sitting next to the married guy at the bar, when his wife comes along, the shot changes to Andie's friends laughing. It then very quickly changes back to Andie and you see she is now standing up, and the guy's wife is sitting down. There would not have been enough time for the two women to swap places.
