Goofs[]
- Continuity
- When Arthur says, "We had a wonderful time!" he looks at Carrie. In the next shot, he's looking at the TV. Then, Carrie's arms change position between shots.
- When Gloria holds open the door for Arthur, she is hunched slightly. In the next shot, as the alarm starts to go off, she stands up straight.
- When Jeff says the line about "the reports I wrote," he grins. In the next shot, he is not grinning.
- When Arthur goes to look at the two videos, he starts to pick one up. In the next shot, he has a hand on each one. Then, when he tells Carrie she can pick any movie she wants, the videos jump from his right hand to his left.
- When Doug talks to the receptionists and laughs at their fat joke, he waves the pen around. In the next shot, he has already stepped a few feet away from their table and is no longer holding the pen.
- When Doug and Jeff egg the car, an eggshell on the roof disappears between shots and a different one appears in a different place.
- When Jeff breaks into the convenience store, just before it cuts away he is passing a sign that says, "Coffee." It then shows a shot inside the store and Jeff is already several feet away from this sign.
- When Arthur and Carrie are watching the movie and arguing, the TV remote control moves around the coffee table.
- While Doug and Carrie are dancing, she has no purse over her shoulder and then it's there, and then it's gone again.
- Errors in geography
- In the supermarket scene, The 2 liter sodas say Albertsons on it. New York doesn't have Albertsons Supermarkets or their sodas for sale.
