- The orgy is criticized as too tame, with Caligula suggested as a more explicit comparison and avoiding an NC-17 rating offered as an explanation.
- Alice’s level and style of intoxication after a few marijuana hits is questioned; drunkenness is offered as a defense, then challenged because the scene occurs after the party-night sequence.
- Domino’s roommate apparently knows extensive details about Bill but not that they never slept together; this inconsistency is questioned.
- Domino having a roommate is questioned, followed by a correction that Domino is probably a professional name rather than her birth name.
- Domino’s unusually dilapidated and untidy apartment is questioned, including Bill having to place his coat in a tub.
- Bill’s Ugg-like home footwear is doubted, with slippers offered as an explanation.
- Bill ordering an unspecified beer feels out of character; lack of product-placement approval is guessed at, while the visible bottle still resembles Budweiser.
- Nick and Bill’s stilted reunion makes their familiarity, and even Nick’s reality, questionable.
