Continuity mistake: When Ollie is at the hospital and the doctor comes out to tell him his wife has died, he is smoking a cigarette. The first time or two that he puts his hands to his face, he is still holding it, the shot changes to the doctor, and back to Ollie, the cigarette has disappeared.
Continuity mistake: When Ollie is talking to Gertie in her crib, he feeds her a bottle, but she spits it out because she doesn't want it. In the next shot of her, the drool is gone even though he never wiped it off. (00:28:20)
Continuity mistake: When Ollie and Gertrude are in the bathroom getting dressed up to go to the music awards, she's upset and fumbling to get her second earring on. She starts to cry and rushes out of the bathroom before getting the earring on, but when Ollie catches up to her in the bedroom, both earrings are hanging from her ears.
Continuity mistake: When Ollie goes to interview for a publicist job towards the end of the movie, Will Smith sits down next to him and they spend several minutes talking in the waiting room. As the camera alternates between the two men during this scene, the turtleneck of Will's sweater changes from shot to shot. In some shots the turtleneck is folded over, so the edge closest to his chin is rounded. In other shots the hemmed edge is sticking up and the neckline is scrunched down. It alternates back and forth several times.
Continuity mistake: When Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck are sitting on the couch after they were caught in the shower by Ben's daughter, his hair keeps changing between shots.
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, during a school production after another child's performance of "Cats" winds down before Gertie's turn, the teacher who stands in as Master of Ceremony for the talent show of the evening is seen lifting the curtain to walk out on stage to introduce the next number. The scene switches to Ollie still running out in the hallway, desperately trying to make a dash for his daughter's school play since he's quite a bit late. Back to the teacher with the head-on shot of the stage, she is now seen quickly stepping out of the curtain again.
