The Proposal

Revealing mistake: When Margaret falls from the boat, she is floating with her shoulders well above the water, probably due to a hidden flotation device. Her outfit was too tight to trap any air for buoyancy, and a fully clothed person would normally be up to their neck in the water.

Revealing mistake: During the scene in New York City when Margaret proposes, a Boston police car is quite noticeable in the background. (Filming took place in Massachusetts, not NYC.)

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when Ryan has the two coffees, he walks by a store and you can see a young kid hanging out the window using his cell phone to film him walking.

Continuity mistake: During the sequence where Margaret proposes to Andrew on the street in New York, the same woman in a green sweater walks by three times.

Question: I was just wondering why, at the end of the movie, the name of the company changed from Colston to something like Ruiz and Hunt. I mean, Margaret's last name was "Tate" so her leaving shouldn't have caused a name change. (I apologize if the names are incorrect, I've only gotten to watch it once at a friend's house, so the movie isn't readily available for me to check).

Chosen answer: The building is named Ruik and Hunt, the publishing company is Colston, which is housed inside the building. The company never changed names.
