Valentine's Day Goofs/Mistakes

  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Julia Roberts' character wears earrings while in the US Army combat uniform (ACU). This is specifically prohibited by the US Army uniform regulation.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Alphonso's pink delivery van hits the black SUV, the SUV's rear-view mirror disappears half-way through the scene.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jennifer Garner talks to Ashton Kutcher in the hallway, her hair flops from on her shoulder to behind her shoulder in consecutive shots.
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Reed Bennett is buying flowers he says Arigato to the florist, however she is Chinese not Japanese.
  • Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): At the flower market, when Reed meets Kelvin and at the agents office when Paula initially speaks to Liz, the characters speak, and we distinctly see their mouths move, but it is very clear that they are not saying the words that we hear.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene that begins with Kara Monahan lying on the floor crying, there were M&Ms spilled on her laptop in one shot, but on the next shot they were no longer there.
  • Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Julia never left to go to San Francisco. This can be heard when she calls Kara on the phone and says that she is still in LA.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): The Hollywood Forever Cemetery only shows movies during the summer, not on Valentine's Day.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Holden is served a candy heart sucker on the plane, he gently pushes it away with his finger on the very end of the stick - quickly followed by a close-up showing him pushing it with the same finger halfway up the stick.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Eddison leaves the house and takes off on his bike, we view the street and the activity on that street. When Grace immediately backs out of the driveway to follow him, it is a different street.
  • Movie Goof (plot holes): When Edison cycles out of the house to give her the flowers, he had no way of knowing that Miss Fitzpatrick was at the Indian Restaurant. She had just come back from finding out that the heart doctor was married, and Kara herself was not expecting her there.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): In Sean Jackson's first scene, he is talking to 3 girls who invite him for a swim. His hands are empty during that shot. Yet when he turns away from the girls to make a call, the cell phone mysteriously appears in his hands.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Anne Hathaway's robe goes from closed to open to wide open progressively in her apartment.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene on the bridge where Alphonso is fishing and talking to Reed, the camera goes back and forth to both sides of Alphonso. Alphonso is holding the fishing pole different each time, on one side he is holding the handle and the fishing line and the other he is holding the handle and the pole, not the line. Also, importunately, he is using a bait-casting reel and the proper way to keep the line from unreeling is to place your thumb on the spool. The way he is holding the reel is like that of a spinning reel.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Alphonso and his wife are swinging on the swings, two glasses of red wine are sitting on the table. When the camera cuts back to them, they are drinking white wine.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: In the first shot at the end of the movie when Alphonso and his wife are swinging on the swing, his wife has a long clear store sticker on her shirt (looking at it would be left side) when the shot resumes, it is no longer there.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Julia and Reed are talking on the bridge, before their first kiss, it shows her leaning on the bridge then it shows her standing straight up, hair in different positions each time.
