• Errors in geography: The wedding is supposed to take place in Traverse City, Michigan. There are no rocky cliffs on the coastline in Traverse City, Michigan only sandy beaches and sand dunes.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: Though shot in 2003, the Chicago nighttime fly-by for the trip to find the dressmaker was most likely taken from stock film shot in between 1996-'98. The Stone Container Building (the diamond topped building) has a red border sporting "Go Bulls", something that hasn't been done since that championship time period.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene right after the pubic hair is shaved, they show Jim throwing the hair out the window. Follow the hair follicles down the side of the building until the window is out of shot. There is a pretty bad jump cut here.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene with Stifler and the cake that says 'Congratulations Jim', after Stifler is on the ground and Jim is trying to get the first dog off Stifler, the second dog comes in. Just before the second dog gets to Jim's leg you can see a cut shot, sort of hidden with a morphing transition. If you pause at the right spot, you can see two little dogs.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: When Finch is in the kitchen by the fridge he sets the whipped cream on the counter and is rubbing the chocolate on his body and then "magically" the whipped cream is on his body without him picking up the bottle.
  
  
• Factual errors: Ventilation fans extract air from inside the building to the outside, not the opposite as is shown when Jim throws his hair out of the window.
  
  
• Continuity: In the cake scene, Jim turns into Stifler totally crushing the cake, however when the dogs arrive and are waiting at the end of the corridor, the following shot of Stifler holding the cake shows its not been crushed and is intact.
  
  
• Plot holes: In all the time that Jim and Michelle have been together, why was he surprised that Michelle had a sister?
