Marley & Me (2008) - 19 mistakes

Revealing: When john picks his wife up at the airport, it's raining. But look to the people outside, they are in t-shirts, right in the sun and not getting wet. Obviously the rain is being sprayed on the car.

Continuity: When John and Sebastian are in their office talking about getting a dog, John takes off his bag twice.

Continuity: When Jen comes back from her trip and opens the garage door to find puppy Marley and the destruction he caused, the stuffed alligator that Jen holds goes from face up, to tail-end up, between shots.

Continuity: When John and Sebastian step out of the elevator discussing Jen, the spare room, step seven, etc, John's bag strap hangs across his chest with the bag at his right, in the shots facing them once they reach the newsroom, but in shots from behind John's bag hangs straight down on his shoulder with the bag to his left.

Continuity: In the kitchen, when Jen talks about John's first article in the Sun-Sentinel, John lifts the orange juice container to pour into a glass and its orange lid is on the counter, but next shot the lid is on the container and he has to remove it.

Continuity: When John brings Marley home from the breeder and they are driving home, Marley isn't wearing a collar in the car, but suddenly he has a collar on when they pull into the driveway and get out of the car.

Continuity: In the scene where John takes Jenny to pick out Marley, Jenny has a tie on as a blindfold. When they first get out of the car, the tie ends are hanging long and straight down her back, but when they get on the porch, the knot has changed and is sticking out the side of her head.

Continuity: When John is at the beach with Marley and first lets him off his leash, John's sweat marks on his t-shirt change from a single line to scattered sweat marks, then back to the single line.

Continuity: During Marley's poop incident at the dog beach, the wet stain on John's shirt changes repeatedly, from smaller, to much bigger, to smaller, particularly when the guy says, "Dude, that was not cool."

Continuity: When John brings Marley home the first time while Jen's away, the bag of Puppy Chow kibble falls. The bag's position on the floor (note tiles), the amount of kibble and John's hands all change between shots. The fallen kibble also changes between shots as the puppy lies on the floor devouring it.

Continuity: When the dog-sitter pulls up in front of the Grogan's house in the exterior shot, the curtains at the window beside the stairs are pulled nearly closed, with only a narrow gap between. Next interior shot, as Marley barks at the window the curtains are pulled more apart, but when Marley pulls Debby outside as the Grogans leave, the curtains are as they were in the first exterior shot.

Continuity: During the scene with John and Marley at the Dog Beach, a woman in a blue bikini walking a miniature pinscher walks by from left to right twice, just before he sits down, and again, from the same spot right after he sits down.

Audio problem: When we hear the one kid crying and Jenny gives them to John, you can tell the kid isn't really crying.

Continuity: When John and Sebastian are at the bar by the beach, the people walking by drastically change with every shot.

Continuity: There is one scene where Jenny and Marley are bonding and Jenny is holding his collar. Camera cuts and now she isn't.

Continuity: At Obedience School, the breed of dogs changes dramatically between shots. Easiest one to spot is a Husky who keeps disappearing and reappearing.

Continuity: When John and Jenny are talking about having a kid whilst at the beach, marks in the sand keep changing.

Factual error: As John is dropping his wife off at the airport before picking up Marley, watch the background - a very modern car, possibly a Chrysler 300, is seen driving past, despite the scene taking place in the early nineties.

Continuity: When Marley is escaping from the car he has his legs in the car, then when it cuts to an outside view, they are now out of the car, but Marley's legs are back in the car in the next shot.
