The director's lack of frog anatomy knowledge resulted in the eyeglasses for the frog eventually being jury-rigged with a paper clip and rubber band.

Gaffes
When going through the instructions left for Helen, Joshua says it is "Eleven and a half single-spaced pages", but the document is double-spaced.

I never expected to hear Smithers's voice in the same movie as a mention of Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellman

To the pantheon of movies about the corporate world we can now add the Kornbluth brothers' "Haiku Tunnel", starring Josh Kornbluth as a man who works well as a temp but poorly when hired for a permanent position. Much of the movie is the protagonist's discussions of his life, and his constant distractions interfering with his work.

While I wouldn't call it a great movie, it's still a fun piece of work, showing the sheer unpleasantness of the corporate world. I've never worked in that sort of setting, so I can't comment on the accuracy, but I can say that this movie could easily be a double-screening with "The Apartment" or "Office Space". Worth seeing.
