Goofs
|
Continuity: When discussing the merits of opening Andie's purse, the handles go from both being up to one being down. Continuity: Andie's bag is placed under the light on Ben's desk and the light disappears in the close-up. Continuity: When Andie's bag is on Ben's desk, it alternates between two handles up and one handle up between shots. Continuity: Several times during the movie, especially in the first time she goes to Ben's apartment, Andie is wearing matching rings, which then disappear during the scene. Continuity: A cat on Andie's lap is shown facing towards one side. In the next shot, it has reversed its position. Continuity: During the first night at Ben's apartment and the back and forth "we're going too fast" sequence, Ben's shirt goes from being one button open, to all being open and back again between shots. Continuity: Ben's shirt when he's first splashed by the truck Continuity: In the poker game, the beer with the straw starts at the right then goes to the left and comes back to the right between shots. Continuity: When Ben is putting on his clean shirt, the collar is alternately up/down between shots. Continuity: At the end of the poker game scene, Andie is waving with one hand, but in the next shot she is waving with her other hand. Continuity: When Andie runs out of the party and Ben follows her out there is a man coming out right behind him in one shot. In the next he's not out the door yet, then he's coming out the door in the next shot. Continuity: At the end when Andie and Ben are kissing, Andie is on the left. In the next shot, she is on the right. Crew: When Andie's co-worker/friend pretends to be their therapist she wears large sunglasses. The sunglasses reflect a whole crew of people standing in front of drawn curtains while the scene is being filmed. Fact errors: Games 1,2 and 3 of the NBA Finals are all played in New York, if games 1 and 2 were in NY then 3,4 and 5 would be in Sacramento Continuity: When Ben is changing his shirt, at least on of the women (black sleeveless shirt, khaki skirt) is shown continuing to work. Once he is finished, they are in the same place applauding. Continuity: When the Ben is blowing out the candles while Andie is in the bathroom, the last candle he picks up doesn't blow out when she emerges at the door. When he sets it down, the flame is gone. Continuity: When Andie is talking on the phone to Ben's mother, the telephone switches from her left ear to her right and back again between shots. Continuity: Just before Andie surprises Ben at work with Krull, Tony hands Ben a mug and he begins to sip from it. Ben has a black mug and Tony has a white one. In a subsequent shot they've switched mugs - Ben is now holding a white one and Tony has the black one. Continuity: Near the end of the film when Ben is on his motorcycle watching Andie put her luggage in the taxi, there is a quick shot of a traffic light where it is raining, but in the rest of the scene it is sunny. Continuity: When Ben teaches Andie to ride a motorcycle, he takes off his helmet and puts it on the bench. They both ride the bike to the next bench where we see his helmet. Continuity: When Ben and Andie are in his parents' bathroom and Andie is sitting on the toilet top, just before she says "when your mom hugged me", the position of her head changes between shots. Continuity: Andie's hair changes from very wavy/curly to nearly straight between shots in the bathroom. Continuity: Andie's hands alternate between holding food, holding a fork and being folded during the lobster dinner scene at the beginning. Continuity: When Michelle shuts the door on Mike she places her wallet on the desk. In the next shot the wallet is in her hands. Revealing mistakes: When Andie goes storming out of Ben's apt, she slams the door behind her. As the door shuts, the peephole cover swings to the side showing no actual hole behind it. Continuity: After Ben tells Andie he wants to go to couples therapy, she walks away down the street and waves back at him. When she's walking toward the camera, she waves with her right arm while holding the plant with her left. When the shot changes and she's walking away from the camera, she's waving with her left arm. Continuity: When Ben is teaching Andie to ride his motorcycle, in the long shots the boardwalk is completely deserted but up close there are many people seen sitting on the benches and walking in the background. Continuity: While they're shooting the DeLauer commercial, the print on the magazine title goes from big and blue in the long shots to small and pink in the close-ups. Continuity: As Ben comes out to join the bullshit game with Joey Jr. in his arms there is a yellow baby blanket around the baby. As he hands him off to Joey, however, the blanket disappears. Continuity: The DeLauer Party was supposed to have been on a Sunday night, the day of the party there was a scene that Annie was talking with her boss at work on the same day of the party. Continuity: When Andie arrives at the DeLauer party, she is wearing no earrings. Later, after Andie and Ben leave the ballroom, she is wearing the necklace and earrings. The security only asks for the necklace, and she takes the earrings. Continuity: In the revolving door at the beginning, the woman's purse jumps from being held between two fingers and her coffee cup, to an impossible position in the crook of her elbow Continuity: After Ben and Andie are splashed by the truck they arrive at Bens house dry. In the next scene in the bathroom they are wet again. Crew: When Ben is talking up close to the dog's face, two men are seen in the distance trying to avoid the camera. They appear to be stage hands. CHAR: When the character Andie Anderson says, "I mean this is Defcon 5, and I have to do something truly appalling," she really means she is at Defcon 1 or 2. Defcon 5 is the lowest level of defense readiness. Defcon 1 is the highest. Continuity: When Ben buys Andie the coke with no ice, he takes the soda with no lid. Once he gets back to Andie the soda has a lid and straw. Continuity: When Andie is leaving in the taxi the shots vary from the taxi's window being closed to opened some to closed again so Ben can knock on it. FAIR: When Andie goes over to Ben's house for dinner and finds he made lamb she uses the excuse that she doesn't eat meat to ruin the dinner and then takes him to a vegan restaurant. However, on the first night they met they went for dinner and had lobster. This is actually very common, as many people follow a "pescetarian" diet, that is, eating only fish or seafood and not meat, especially red meat such as lamb. Andie could very easily claim to eat only seafood, and therefore act repulsed by the lamb. Revealing mistakes: In the final shot of the bridge, at least two gawkers can be seen on the far side, obviously pointing and looking at the movie being made. Revealing mistakes: When Ben is reading Andie's magazine article, you can see the same paragraph/sentences are just repeated throughout the article. Continuity: When Ben is chasing Andie on his motorcycle at the end of the movie and bangs on the taxi window and yells her name, the closed caption spells it "Andy". CHAR: One of the headlines on the first magazine's cover (during the intro-montage) states 'How To Loose Your Stomach' instead of the correct 'Lose'. Fact errors: When Andy asks Ben to get her a drink at the Knicks game, there is less than 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Concession stands wouldn't be open that close to the end of the game. Fact errors: For the NBA Finals to reach 7 games, it would take at least two weeks. All 7 games wouldn't be played in the span of 10 days as in the movie. |

Tony: [Andie has given Ben a Burberry button-down shirt in their signature plaid] It looks like the inside of a raincoat! Thayer: That it? Tony: That's it? Ben: [points to purse on desk] That's it. Tony: Have you looked inside? Ben: No. Thayer: Do you have an ethical problem with rifling through a woman's purse? Ben: Uhh, yeah, I guess I do. Tony: Well, it's hardly a purse, dude, it's more like a... clutch or something. Ben: Guys, a woman's purse, alright, it's her secret source of power. Alright? There are many dark and dangerous things in there, that we, the male species, should know nothing about. DeLauer Security: Look, just give me back the necklace, then you guys can go on and kill each other. Ben: [to himself, on his balcony, waving goodbye to Andy before she gets in her cab] You're already falling in love with me. Andie: I'm gonna make you wish you were dead. [blows away a kiss to Ben up on his balcony] Andie: Poor guy. Thayer: Is she on something? Ben: God I hope so. [Moves his finger in circles next to his head, to indicate that he thinks Andie is crazy] Andie: Are you saying I'm some kind of mental person? [Andie is holding a platter of veggies and flings them at the guys and the middle of the poker table, then tosses the platter onto the table] Ben: That's what I'm talking about. Where's the sexy, cool, fun, smart, beautiful Andie that I knew? The one that wanted to be a serious journalist? You're up, you're down, you're here, you're there, you're like a frickin' one woman circus. Andie: You can't lose something you never had. Ben: That's what I was, huh? I was your guinea pig, somebody you can test your theories on. Andie: And I was just a girl somebody picked out in a bar Ben: Yeah, so what, big deal? Hell, now you can even use it as a little twist in your story Andie: That's a good idea, maybe we should bet on it Ben: You know what, you did your job now Andie Andie: Yes I did Ben: You wanted to lose a guy in 10 days, congratulations you did it. You just lost him Andie: No I didn't Ben, cause you can't lose something you never had! Michelle Rubin: Why this place? Jeannie Ashcroft: It's perfect. Hi, Ingrid. Mullen's Hostess: Hi. Jeannie Ashcroft: Mullen's is the apres-work watering hole for the upwardly mobile. Andie: Why do they always forget my bacon? Jeannie Ashcroft: I can't believe you got that guy knocked out. Andie: Only for a few seconds. Lana Jong: Andie, I am loving your notes on this piece. Andie: [with her mouth full] Thank you, Lana. Lana Jong: When are you seeing him again? Andie: Tonight. He's inviting me over to his house for dinner. Lana Jong: Excellent! I've got a feeling about this one. Michelle Rubin: I hate it when she pops her head in like that. Andie: I never noticed it. Lana Jong: A-hem. I heard that. And Andie, tonight take smaller bites. Andie: Thank you, Lana. Michelle Rubin: Oh, my God! Jeannie Ashcroft: Disgusting! I can barely eat over here. [Andie takes an even bigger bite] Andie: Hey, listen, Sparky. I have a masters in journalism from Columbia, my boss loves me, and if I do it her way for a while, I can write about whatever I want. Ben: Like, shoes? [Ben is trying to find words to be used as metaphors for diamonds] Ben: How about 'Glitter'? Tony: Thayer's favorite movie. Thayer: It was underrated! Ben: You see, the key to this game is being able to read people. Glenda: Now Andie, I hope you know that we expect you to come back here because you have held Ben to his lowest bullshit score since his tonsillectomy and we are thrilled! Jack: LOWEST! Andie: Why were all his other girlfriends bullshit losers? Glenda: What other girlfriends? You are the first girl he ever brought home! Don't you break his heart now! [repeated line] Several characters: Bullshit! Andie: [Crying at restaurant after waitress asks if everything is okay] My boyfriend thinks I'm fat! [Flicks food at him] Andie: And I can't eat in front of him! I can't eat in front of you! I have to go to the bathroom. Ben: [Receives dirty looks from other customers] Honey, I don't think you're fat! I don't think she's fat! [Andie is making Ben's place all girly. She's put "chick" CDs in his CD player] Andie: Sheryl, Tori, Sinead, Jewel, Fiona, Carly... Gang's all here! Ben: Look, look, look, wait a minute. The one night we even thought about having sex, all right, she up and decides she's going to nickname my... Michelle Rubin: Penis? Ben: Yeah. "Princess Sophia." You want to talk about shooting a man's horse? Whop! Come on! Andie: I love you Binky... but I don't have to like you right now. Michelle Rubin: So, tell me, how long have you guys been seeing each other? Andie: Seven days. Michelle Rubin: Seven days. Interesting. Ben: Is that too soon to be seeing a therapist? Andie: Well, Ben, seven days isn't like a lifetime, or anything... Ben: It's like a week. Sensitive Moviegoer: Now, I'm going to go back inside and finish watching "Sleepless in Seattle". Nobody screw with me. Tony: Drunk and tone-deaf. Never a good combination. [first lines] Jeannie Ashcroft: [reading] "And only then will the people of Tajikistan know true and lasting peace." Andie, it's brilliant. It's really moving. But it's never going to appear in Composure Magazine. [last lines] Ben: Look who made the trip with me. Andie: It's our love fern! Oh, Bennie-boo-boo, boo-boo. Thayer: We, you know, we got a whole bunch of work we have to do, but we're still on for poker at your house this weekend? Ben: Oh, you count on it. Andie: Whoo! Boys' night. Tony: Whoo! Ben: Excuse me, ma'am. Jeannie Ashcroft: Holy crap! Ben: Where's Andie Anderson? Jeannie Ashcroft: Uh, she's not here Ben: Where is she? Michelle Rubin: She quit. Jeannie Ashcroft: She's got an interview in Washington. Ben: When is she leaving? Jeannie Ashcroft: Today. Ben: When? Jeannie Ashcroft: Well, like, now. Ben: You're not a therapist, aren't you? Michelle Rubin: Uh. No. Ben: Good job, though. You owe me three hundred bucks. Andie: I have to crack this guy. I mean this is Defcon 5, and I have to do something truly appalling. It's not funny. [Michelle and Jeanie laugh even harder] Michelle Rubin: Oh, you are never going to pull this off. Andie: Watch me. Tonight, I'll hook a guy. Tomorrow, pull the switch. Before the ten days are up, I'm going to have this guy running for his life. Jeannie Ashcroft: You're not going to burn his apartment down or bite him, or anything? Andie: No! I'm going to limit myself to doing everything girls do wrong in relationships. Basically, everything we know guys hate. I'll be clingy, needy... Jeannie Ashcroft: Be touchy-feely. Andie: Yeah. Jeannie Ashcroft: Ooh, call him in the middle of the night and tell him everything you had to eat that day. Michelle Rubin: What's wrong with that? [Andie & Jeanie stare at Michelle] Michelle Rubin: I'm kidding. Tony: Couples therapy, it'll buy you at least four days. Lana Jong: Who's that chic Buddhist Richard Gere is always cavorting with? Jeannie Ashcroft: The Dali Lama? Lana Jong: He's fabulous! Andie: I don't think I can be with someone who doesn't like animals and thinks I'm a mental person [waves her fingers and goes cross eyed] [Andie starts crying when Ben places food in front of her] Ben: Hey, what's wrong? Andie: Nothing. It's beautiful. Ben: Thank you. Andie: You're beautiful. The game, the whole thing. It's just... I wish I ate meat. Mary had a little lamb, little lamb. You have to take it away before I gag. [Andie almost vomits] Jeannie Ashcroft: Drama, drama, drama. Jack: [Jack is introducing Andie to the family] You gotta watch him, he farts like a howitzer. But he's family, what are you gonna do? Uncle Arnold: Intestinal complication! Andie: I'm taking this love fern with me! Andie: Does Krull the Warrior King want to come out and play? Ben: No. Andie: Krull. Ben: You know what, due to intense humiliation, the king has momentarily abdicated his throne. Ok? Andie: Oh. Uh-oh! Ben: Yeah. Andie: Well, in that case, I'd better get going. Take care of our love fern, honey. |
