- London hotel security is considered implausibly weak. — Amanda Dobbins
- William reaches junkets, guesses Anna’s Disney-character hotel alias and obtains access too easily; the Blockbuster-card joke does not solve the security concern. — Amanda Dobbins
- His pink shirt plausibly helps the crowded final press conference notice him; the classic Oxford-shirt wardrobe suits the character. — Amanda Dobbins
- Multiple women leaving William is difficult to believe, though emotional distance, hesitation and judging prospective dates offer explanations. — Amanda Dobbins
- His large Notting Hill house, lodger and money-losing travel bookstore make his finances implausible; his friends’ lovely homes also outstrip their insecure employment. — Amanda Dobbins
- Answering the daytime door in underwear seems inconsistent with William’s buttoned-up character. — Amanda Dobbins
- Anna’s prolonged lack of contact and her publicist’s continued employment after repeated failures are questioned, though the dialogue suggests she warned the publicist she would be unavailable. — Amanda Dobbins
