Trivia: The New York Times crossword puzzle seen within the first 10 minutes when Dr. Pincus (Ricky Gervais) first comes home is the puzzle from Monday, October 1, 2007 (Created by Allan E. Parrish).
Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Bertram and Frank are sitting in the theatre watching Gwen’s presentation, Frank yells out twice. Both times the extra actress sitting one row ahead and to the left quickly looks back at Frank. If she wasn’t a ghost, which assumingly would be clearly stated in the story, how could she have heard Frank yell?
