Mistake Continuity: There is a scene where Walter and Anna are pouring water into the bathtub using buckets. When they are pouring the last two bucket loads in the tub it falls through the second floor and shatters on the first floor. However, when it shatters, no water is seen even after being filled with many bucket loads.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Anna and Walter are cleaning the new house, Anna pulls up the dumb-waiter, a raccoon screams and jumps up on her. If you look closely you will see a hand put the raccoon on her, at the bottom corner of the screen.

Mistake Continuity: When Walter is watching the fire go through the electrical system in the walls of the kitchen, watch the blender. One shot shows thick, chunky, white/orange stuff flowing out over the edge of the counter. The very next shot shows the blender toppled, but very clean. There is no trace of the chunky stuff in the blender or on the counter.

Mistake Continuity: When Walter watches the electricity disappear in the wall, you can see about six tiles fly at him, but only three or four missing on the wall.

Mistake Continuity: After the electrical fire in the kitchen the gas stove flames out and the top and bottom oven doors open. Both oven compartments are seen to be occupied with things being baked, but no turkey can be seen. Yet when the oven blows, out comes a turkey.

Mistake Continuity: When Walter gets catapulted through the window and into the plaster tub he lands on top of the window curtain. He raises his head, now covered with plaster, but not with the curtain. When he stands up we see his head and entire body thoroughly and completely wrapped in the plaster soaked curtain.

Mistake Plot hole: Walter and Anna each agree to pay half of the $200,000 for the house. However, Walter borrows the full amount of $200,000 from Benny. He also didn't know the house was a lemon.

Mistake Plot hole: The house has no pool, even though Walter tells the homeowner she has the best kept pool he's ever seen.

Mistake Audio problem: In the end of the movie when the band plays during their wedding, watch the drummer. The drummer is playing something different than what you hear.

Mistake Continuity: When Walter is getting the water from the stove you see only one bucket. When he gets upstairs with the water he is carrying two buckets.
