Continuity: When Harry takes the pictures of Elliot and Helen from inside the vent, he is at angle far away from them. When he shows the pictures to Elliot later, the pictures show that they were taken from a closer point of view and from the side.

Quotes:
Mrs. MacIntyre:
[looking at photos of her husband cheating on her] You idiot! These pictures are of me!
[Harry Crumb falls backwards in his chair]
Harry Crumb: What? Let me see those.
Mrs. MacIntyre: Give them here.
Harry Crumb: Not so fast. I've had my eye on you for a while, lady. I knew you were up to something, and here's my proof: it was you who was having an affair with your husband all along!
Mrs. MacIntyre: What?
Harry Crumb: I've uncovered some pretty low schemes in my time. But secretly hiring me to take pornographic pictures of you and your sleazball husband is as low as it gets!
Mrs. MacIntyre: I don't belive this!
Harry Crumb: Belive what you want, lady. But don't belive it here.
Mrs. MacIntyre: You are a poor excuse for a human being!

If you're a fan of the late John Candy (as I am) you will most likely love this movie. Candy stars as Harry Crumb, a bumbling detective who comes from a line of great detectives. In his investigations, he uses a great many disguises (much like Chevy Chase in "Fletch"). Crumb is totally clueless, and Candy really takes a funny script and makes it even more funny. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the viewer. I give this a 9 out of 10 because it kept me laughing the whole way through.
