Corrected entry: When Tom and Jane are arguing at the airport before he leaves on vacation, he tells Jane the plane is boarding at Gate E2. The camera cuts to him walking toward the gates and you can see the sign with an arrow for Gates E1-4 pointing to the left, yet Tom turns right and we never see him correct his mistake. (01:57:15)

Directed by: James L. Brooks
Starring: William Hurt, Albert Brooks, Holly Hunter, Robert Prosky
Factual error: When the Joan Cusack character bolts into the control room with the "Mercenary" cassette, you can here the director counting down to roll the tape. A 3/4" tape being inserted and threaded up in the machine normally takes about 8 to 10 seconds, yet the tape plays when the operator hits the play button.
Tom Granick: It's amazing who's here.
Jane Craig: Who?
Tom Granick: Me.
Trivia: Stephen Mendillo is only eight years older than his on-screen son William Hurt.
Correction: It is established numerous times in this film that Tom is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Just because we don't see him correct his mistake doesn't mean he doesn't do so eventually.
