Continuity: When Sandy is dressed as Judas Iscariot, he is wearing a wig and a fake beard. He is clean shaven. The very next scene he has a three-day shadow, but only minutes have elapsed.
Continuity: When Reuben and Sandy are playing basketball for the first time, Sandy's t-shirt is tucked under in one shot, and the next it is fine and untucked.
Continuity: When Lisa comes back and sits on the sofa, her hair is hanging straight down her back, but it suddenly falls over her shoulder between shots.
Continuity: In the bathroom scene Reuben turns on the shower. A little later a bewildered Polly is looking at the bottom of the door door, from where thick steam clouds emanate. When it cuts back inside to Reuben, the steam is moving up and nowhere near the door.
Visible crew/equipment: When Reuben and Stan have a joint pee, there is a front shot near the end of the scene where the rectangular stage lights are reflected in Stan’s glasses, which looks quite awkward because the white bars cover his irises.
Continuity: When Reuben "accidentally" bumps into Polly at her apartment for the first time, he sees her crouching on the floor trying to find her keys in her purse. Next to her is a shopping bag with a loofah in it, whose handle keeps dramatically changing position in each shot.
Other: The scenes that are supposedly located in St. Bart's have Chinaman's Hat in the background, which is a distinctive Hawaiian landmark.
Continuity: When Reuben and his client are playing racquetball, the client smashes against the wall and his tooth falls out. He shows the tooth to Reuben and the hole in in his teeth where it used to be, but in the next shot, Reuben's client smiles and all his teeth are in place.
Continuity: When Reuben and Sandy are talking in the street after the play disaster, and Sandy is telling Reuben about the fake E! True Hollywood Story, Reuben's tie keeps changing. In one shot, the tie has a dimple and is in a full windsor knot, and in other shots, the tie has no dimple and appears to be in a half-windsor knot.
Continuity: While talking in the parking lot, Polly's shawl changes from wrapped loosely around her shoulders to tight around her neck. When tighter, her purse strap is also more prominent.
Continuity: When Reuben makes his toast at his wedding Lisa is holding her hands in front of her belly, but when the camera angle changes when he says “I knew she’s the one“ her arms are hanging down.
Continuity: When Reuben is crossing the street when he "accidentally" runs into Polly, he doesn't have anything in his hand. The camera switches to a shot of Polly then back to Reuben and he all of a sudden is pretending to be on his cell phone. There is not enough time between shots for him to have gotten his phone out.
Continuity: When Reuben and Polly go to that Latin club to dance, after he's had salsa lessons, you see the guitarist pointing to encourage him. Now, he looks as if he's a left-handed guitar player, but a minute later you see him in the background playing right-handed. If you look for it, you can see that his guitar is a Gibson, and on the "lefty" scene the logo on the headstock is obviously reversed, which means the shot got mirrored in post-production.
Continuity: In one of the salsa club scenes, when Polly asks Reuben when kind of guy he really is, a group of chatting people appears in the background behind Reuben between shots.
Continuity: When Reuben returns from St. Bart he removes the throw pillows from the bed, which has a bent wooden back with sharp edges. In the next shot, when he goes to bed, the wooden back is flat and has round edges.
Continuity: When Reuben and Lisa lie on the beach he goes through the real-estate page of his newspaper. He draws a circle around one of the ads at the top of the page, but when we see a close-up of the page the circle is somewhere down towards the middle.
Continuity: For the arrival at St. Bart three different planes are used: The shadow on the ocean belongs to a single-propeller machine, the following close-up shows two engines and an antenna on top of the cockpit, and when the plane lands the antenna is gone and the engines are much smaller.
Continuity: In the scene right after Reuben discovers Lisa cheating on him, Reuben begins to pack his truck to leave the island. The truck is facing the ocean as he loads the truck. However, a split second later he gets in the truck and the truck is facing away from the ocean, then when Reuben backs up, he backs up towards the ocean.
Continuity: While Polly is showing Reuben her ideas for the children's book, her arm and bracelet positions change as the view switches from behind to in front of her, and back.
