• Continuity

  When Molly starts hitting James for taking Mickey out without permission, he falls knocking a box of Cheerios which hangs curiously over the counter and has a plastic glass standing upright untouched.

• Plot holes

  When James goes to Mollie's apartment to return her purse after Mikey is born, James says to Mikey, "How you doing, Mikey? I'm James." How did he know his name was Mikey if Mollie never told him?
