- Movie Goof (anachronisms): In the scene where Julia Child receives a letter about publishing her first book in 1961 (or earlier). The letter carrier bears a blue and red patch with a horse and rider facing left. These patches did not come into service until 1965. The appropriate patch should be a maroon patch with the horse and rider facing the right (backwards) when warn on the left shoulder.
- Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the movie, Paul Child (II) references his work with "General Mountbatten." There was no such person in the British Army during WWII; there was however, Admiral Louis Mountbatten of the Navy.
- Movie Goof (revealing mistake): The scene involving Paul Child (II)'s photographing a food display in their kitchen, he uses a Rolleiflex camera. While shooting he winds the crank approximately one-and-a-half turns, when loaded with film the transport only requires 2/3 of a turn and stops automatic. So actually he was using an empty camera.
- Movie Goof (anachronisms): At the beginning of the film, Julie Powell sits in her office cubicle speaking on the phone.

The scene is dated 2002, while Microsoft Office 2003 was released only on November 17, 2003, succeeding the grayish-rectangular styled Office XP.
