Può la star più in voga del momento innamorarsi di un qualsiasi librario londinese? La risposta, che viene descritta in un film vivace, degno dei suoi incassi, è affermativa. Julia Roberts fa se stessa con molta ironia e autoironia. I personaggi di contorno, come deve essere in questo tipo di prodotto, sono efficaci, curatissimi e contribuiscono ad un successo annunciato. Grant rovescia un bicchiere di spremuta d'arancia addosso alla superstar nel quartiere più cool del momento a Londra e i meccanismi della trama si mettono subito in moto, prevedibili, ma godibilissimi. Ci saranno intoppi. Ma saranno superati, come tutti desideriamo. Memorabile la partecipazione di Hugh finto giornalista alla conferenza di Julia, autentica diva. Se ci sarà un sequel, non ce ne lamenteremo troppo.

<br>Boom mic visible<br>_________<br>After Anna and William collide in the street, the microphone shadow is visible on the left side of the screen (widescreen version).<br><br>--------<br><br><br>Character error<br>_________<br>At Honey's birthday party it is revealed that William's nickname is "Floppy." After Anna climbs the fence into the private garden she says "Come on, Flopsy."<br><br>--------<br><br><br>Continuity<br>_________<br>Honey starts the film with shoulder length hair. In the "Ain't No Sunshine" montage, Honey's hair is cut short, understandable in the passage of time, but in a subsequent scene in the book shop when she gives Will Anna's agents' phone numbers, her hair is long again. When she announces she's getting engaged to Spike at the closing of Tony's restaurant, it is short again. The film only spans about a year.<br><br>--------<br>When Anna first comes into William's house, William tells her, "The bathroom's on the top floor, and the telephone's just... just up there" (pointing to the landing, one flight up). However, we see later that the bathroom's only two flights up; William's bedroom is on the top floor, three flights up. (While there's a phone in the kitchen, he presumably wants to let her have some privacy.)<br><br>--------<br>When Anna first comes into William's house and William tells her the way to the bathroom, the blackboard beside William says in big letters "SPIKE CLEAN UP". In the next shot from behind William the letters on the blackboard are much smaller.<br><br>--------<br>Near the end of the movie, Anna Scott goes to the store to talk to William Thacker. When he comes out of his office and stands in front of a desk, behind him is a stack of books, all the same style. They are all facing the same way. The next scene the top two are facing another way from the bottom one.<br><br>--------<br>Will heads out wearing a belt. When he is in the orange juice shop the belt is gone, but it reappears as he leaves the shop.<br><br>--------<br>Three separate times during the movie, the same mother and child are seen in the alley beside William's book shop. All three times this person and child are wearing the same clothes and are in the same physical position. According to the chronology of the film, they would have been stood in that same spot, not moving, for over a year.<br><br>--------<br>While William and Martin are talking about Topol and Ringo Starr, a man with red hair walks past twice in the same direction.<br><br>--------<br>When Anna and William are together in his house and he is reading the newspaper and she is reading her lines, the picture on the paper he is reading changes.<br><br>--------<br>Honey puts on the necklace when she is opening her birthday presents. It disappears and reappears between shots.<br><br>--------<br>When William is listening to Anna at Kenwood House, he is wearing his glasses. When he stands up and gives his earphone back to Harry, the soundman, his glasses are gone.<br><br>--------<br>The orange juice on William's shirt disappears after the kiss in the kitchen.<br><br>--------<br>When Anna wants to use the bathroom, it is the door seen from the bottom of the stairs. Later on that same day it becomes William's bedroom door. Also, in one shot, the bathroom door has windows. Later in the movie, it becomes a plan wooden door.<br><br>--------<br>When William Thacker visits the set at Hampstead Heath he is stopped by a security guard at a checkpoint. When he enters the set after speaking with Anna Scott not only is the guard gone but so is any type of security checkpoint.<br><br>--------<br>When William leaves Hampstead Heath after overhearing Anna talking to the other actor on set, he is wearing a dark blue shirt and has no jacket. The next shot has him entering the book shop with a light blue shirt and a jacket slung over his shoulder. (The next scene, which is set the next day, has him wearing the pink shirt for the remainder of the film.)<br><br>--------<br>In the first scene where William encounters Anna, Rufus (the book thief) is shown several times in the background. Initially he has several days growth of beard, and in one of the shots he appears to be freshly shaven, then back to the growth of beard.<br><br>--------<br>As William first enters the elevator at the Ritz, he asks the other person what floor they're going to. They respond "three", but when they both leave the elevator, the number "1" is clearly visible on the elevator's floor indicator.<br><br>--------<br>The coffee stain on William's shirt changes size and shape during scenes several times.<br><br>--------<br><br><br>Crew or equipment visible<br>_________<br>Just after Anna and William have collided in the street, the camera operator is clearly visible reflected in Anna's sunglasses for one shot.<br><br>--------<br><br><br>Factual errors<br>_________<br>An addled customer enters William's travel bookstore and asks for books by Charles Dickens. He's sent away with an admonished, "This is a travel bookstore", but a true travel book professional would know that Dickens wrote several notable travel books, including "American Notes" and "Pictures from Italy".<br><br>--------<br><br><br>Miscellaneous<br>_________<br>Towards the end when Anna gives William the painting, over William's right shoulder is an orange coloured book called Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels. Not, in fact, a travel book.<br><br>--------<br>In the opening montage of Anna (before William and Anna meet), the shot of her getting out of the limousine is from the scene at the end, when William is actually with her.<br><br>--------<br><br><br>Revealing mistakes<br>_________<br>Although Bella is in a wheelchair and complains of the fact that her house needs ramps for her to get around, there is a step without a ramp leading to her front door. In one scene she is seen about to leave the house in her wheelchair, unassisted.<br><br>--------<br>In the scene at Kenwood House, William is given headphones to listen in to the dialogue as they're filming, yet he overhears a casual conversation between Anna and her lead actor who aren't miked up.<br><br>--------<br><br><br><br><br><br>
