Goofs
|
Continuity: The morning after the cop and waitress spend the night together at the Plaza, just before they exit the elevator in the lobby, we see the reporter Angel Dupree reading a newspaper. The picture below the headline is of Charlie and Yvonne exiting the Plaza together, but they haven't left yet, nor have any pictures been taken. Fact errors: When Yvonne files for bankruptcy in the beginning, she files in New York Civil Court. People file for bankruptcy in United States Bankruptcy Court which is a federal court. Civil Court where she filed is a state court. Bankruptcy is governed by federal laws, and therefore bankruptcy cases would be heard in federal as opposed to state court. CHAR: The subhead of the "Lottery Cop Hits Wife" front page that is released during the divorce trial reads "Muriel Tell's All," which obviously contains an erroneous apostrophe. Fact errors: The script implies that the bowling team will get a larger share of the jackpot because five people bought the ticket. It doesn't work that way. Each ticket draws the same money. Miscellaneous: When Charlie and Yvonne are at Yankee Stadium with the kids, they take their picture 'catching' a fly ball at the outfield wall. The stadium clock stays at 1:20 the entire time, and after. Taking all of those pictures would take more than one minute. CHAR: When the police rush to the convenience store robbery, the first policeman slips on the glass, and slides straight past the door. Continuity: When the movie begins, the coffee shop is called "Ideal". After she buys it, Yvonne changes the name to "Yvonne's". When Charlie comes to the shop to find Yvonne (the first time that they are together after the court verdict), the name of the shop is "Ideal" again. |
Quotes

Muriel Lang: You should be locked up in that looney bin on Staten Island that Geraldo Rivera is always exposing! Charlie Lang: Meatball! That's what I want! Yvonne Biasi: Who wants ice cream on their pie? Who wants pie? Charlie Lang: [about Muriel] It's like we're on two different channels now. I'm CNN and she's the Home Shopping Network. Charlie Lang: I told yhou I'd share my ticket. I never planned on sharing my heart. Maybe I could get lucky twice today. |
