Factual error: In the scene that takes place in Ollie's office after the death of his wife, he is talking to Arthur Brickman who is sitting in front of a plaque for the band Songs:Ohia's album, "Ghost Tropic." We know that the scene is happening 7 years in the past, because Gertie is a baby. "Ghost Tropic" wasn't released until November of 2000.
Jersey Girl (2004)
Directed by: Kevin Smith
Starring: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Liv Tyler, George Carlin, Betty Aberlin, Matt McFarland, Paulie Litt, Sarah Stafford
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.
Factual error: In the scene at the beginning of the movie when Ollie is driving his new born daughter to his father's house in New Jersey, you can see the new Time Warner Center on the New York City skyline. The Time Warner Center was not built until 2003, yet in the movie, he was driving seven years earlier.
Trivia: Apparently the beginning of the movie, where Oliver's wife dies, is based on a personal fear of Kevin Smith - he was terrified his wife would die while giving birth to their daughter and didn't know how he would survive.
Trivia: The kindergarten girl at the musical night is Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin Smith's daughter.
Trivia: Just a comment:anyone who is a Kevin Smith fan would notice that when Olly is having a talk about masturbation with the video girl He exclaims "Good God .." this is the exact phrase & tone of voice as Holden when talking to Alyssa (about sex) in Chasing Amy.
Ollie: George Michael is all about the ladies. "I want your sex." Does that sound like he's singing to a guy?
Will Smith: 'Ey, you Brickman?
Ollie: No. I'm just a guy who'd rather play in the dirt with his kid.
Boy #5: Okay, it's like this. My dog ate my paper. I checked, but he didn't poop it out.
Question: How is "Trinke" pronounced?
