Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mort sits at the kitchen table with his PB&J sandwich, the scene opens with a shot of the dripping kitchen faucet. Mort talks to Chico, lays on the floor and then stumbles to the sofa for a nap. Immediately following the nap, he returns to the kitchen sink and there is now a dishrag across the faucet that wasn't there in the previous shot.

Continuity mistake: During most of the film (leading up to Clarissa's party), there are folding oak-colored wooden chairs arranged against the bookshelves in the foyer, ostensibly to be used at the party. However, during the scene where Laura Brown meets Clarissa and the apartment is arranged for the party, the only chairs utilized are non-folding white chairs (and the wooden chairs are gone).

Continuity mistake: When the house first becomes detaches from its foundation and becomes airborne, Russell is nowhere to be seen, although every angle of the house is shown, including underneath, the front porch and the back porch. He knocks on the door and tells Carl he chased a "snipe" under the porch - but he cannot be seen after liftoff and prior to knocking. The same thing happens near the end, when Dug claims to have hidden under the porch.

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Mark Whitacre is writing with his left hand. Later in the film, he's writing with his right. There is no indication that he is ambidextrous, which would properly explain this mistake.
