* David mentions being friends with CS Lewis, enough to call him "Clive". Lewis in real life was almost never called Clive and all his friends and family only knew him as "Jack". It's an early sign that David is not entirely honest.

!FridgeLogic:

* Jenny was with David for what was apparently months. We get that she was naive and smitten with this charming older man who seemed to think the world of her. Yet there is no indication that she ever asked David the most basic of questions: [[spoiler: where does he live?]]
** [[spoiler:Or if he has a girlfriend/''wife''?]] It probably didn't occur to her. Perhaps Jenny was too caught up with the apparent glamor of David's life to think about. And if she did ask him about the above question, he'd probably lie or stealthily find a way to change the subject, like how David easily got Jenny to forgive him after she found out about his ambiguous dealings.
** Actually referenced in the original script, but dropped in the final version. In the draft David told her he was living with his parents and didn't want to embarrass her (and himself) by bringing her home.

* Which leaves the most glaring bit of FridgeLogic: [[spoiler: Why did David propose to Jenny in the first place if he was already married?]]

Spoilering the question under Fridge Horror since it is a pretty big spoiler that Jenny is not the first and David has done this tons of times.


* Jenny wants to lose her virginity on her seventeenth birthday. On the fateful night, David suddenly dashes out of the bedroom and returns with a banana saying, "I thought we'd get the messy bit over first". Exactly how many "messy bits" has David experienced? And how many of these girls have let him put a banana up their vagina?

* Miss Stubbs must've been some kind of oracle; the novel she taught Jenny and her schoolmates had the same twist as the plot of the movie. You'd be hard-pressed to notice it, though.
