Corrected entry: After Mrs. Connelly says, "Could you sprinkle some salt on the steps, they're terribly icy," Alex says his line and walks out without closing the door. After Alex slips and is lying on the stairs, the door is closed without anyone there to close it.
Corrected entry: Mrs. Connelly gives Alex a Bugle that she dipped in onion dip, but in the following shots the Bugle is no longer covered in dip. (00:09:35)
Correction: Alex bit off the part of the Bugle which had the dip.
Continuity mistake: After Alex installs the clapping machine, he can't get the TV to turn off while he is laying down, he has to stand up and jump while clapping. However, after Mrs. Connelly figures out how to use it and they are going back and forth, it works perfectly fine while laying down.
Nancy Kendricks: Do you realise how much the duplex is going to be worth once we get both floors?
Alex Rose: I know how much it costs.
Nancy Kendricks: Well it's going to be worth a bazillion times that.
Alex Rose: Really? A bazillion? That's an incredible return.
Question: What is the word that Drew Barrymore says to her boss, which she claims means that he'll have it "right away"?
Answer: She says "tickety-boo" - later on he asks for her article and says he wants it "tickety-now" not "tickety-boo".
Correction: You can plainly see the door slowly swings closed by itself.
