Continuity: During the scene where Viola and Charlie are talking about the wedding plans at lunch, Viola has her glasses off, in her hand. When Charlie says "being that I'm more spiritual that religious," the glasses jump back onto Viola's face between shots. She then removes them, and leaves them off, however after she pulls out one of Charlie's hairs, they reappear on her nose again.

Continuity: There are significant differences between the tape that Viola's therapist plays back, of the scene where Viola attacked the pop singer, and that of which actually happened on set. When Viola leapt out of her chair on set, she held her glasses in her hand, but on the tape her hand is empty, for example.
