Factual error: The movie is set in 2015 as clearly stated. When Ben reads the newspaper waiting for Jules' first mail after their meeting, the newspaper he's holding shows the headline "NFL Revises Settlement, Making Open-Ended Pledge", which was from the New York Times of June 26, 2014, and when his co-workers helpfully cover his obviously portentous erection with the newspaper, they do it using a page from July 7, "The Fallacy of Balanced Literacy" (this one detail is helped by freeze-frame, since the page is upside-down). Moreover, when Jules joins Matt in the bedroom after she fell asleep herself with Paige, the TV in the room is playing Jimmy Fallon's show from March 5th, again of 2014. (00:20:05 - 00:38:40)
The Intern (2015)
1 factual error
Directed by: Nancy Meyers
Starring: Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Rene Russo, Nat Wolff, Anders Holm
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, there is a wide shot of the group doing yoga in the park. Ben doesn't appear in this shot or he's hidden behind another person. When it pans through the close up shot, Ben is in the front and the others are now in different spots. (00:01:00 - 00:01:30)
Trivia: The hotel manager is played by Robert De Niro's real-life daughter, Drena.
