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. Submitted by Kristal
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. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Continuity: After Reuben’s arrival in Los Angeles, where he is supposed to meet Leland van Lew, he sees him entering the service elevator. They go up to the rooftop together from where Leland does a base jump, using a parachute that he is wearing under his jacket. However, when we saw him at the ground floor there was nothing under his jacket: in the front the belt should have been partly visible, and also the bulge in the back wasn’t there.

Continuity: When Reuben leaves Polly’s place after the bathroom incident he carries the loofah with him wrapped in plastic bag. Between shots the white plastic bag suddenly shows a blue and red printing. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
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. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
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. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
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. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
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. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
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. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
Continuity: At the end of the movie, Claude talks with Polly and Reuben on the beach. They tell him they are going scuba diving with Leland and call out to Leland on his yacht and wave to him. When Claude goes away and Polly and Reuben head into the water, there is no sign of the yacht (and this is a wide shot of the beach).
