On the Line picture

Plot hole: When the Chicago Post first runs the story on Kevin, there is a picture of him on the front page, next to the headline. So anyone who was following the story would have known what he looked like, which would make it impossible for Kevin's friends to get away with pretending to be him.

How High picture

Other mistake: When the guys find out that they've passed the THC test, Jamal turns to Silas and asks if they're still high on the ivory. At the moment he asks, an elf walks across the room. This is supposed to be a figment of their imagination as they are high, so why does the woman at the desk watch the elf too? (00:14:45)
