Monster-in-Law (2005) - 6 major mistakes

Other: During the scene where Charlie is watching the horror movie on TV and Viola sneaks up behind her wearing the costume with the long finger nails and scares her. They show a shot from Viola's point of view and you see Charlie sitting on the couch from the back, but the TV is not on.

Continuity: When Charlie looks across the street and notices Viola and Ruby sitting for lunch and that Dr. Chamberlain is in fact a waiter, in the first shot Chamberlain hands Viola and Ruby a menu each. In the next shot he's holding them again.

Continuity: When Jennifer Lopez and her mother-in-law are talking in the kitchen, at one point the mother-in-law puts on her glasses to read the book and in the next shot we see a slight side view of the mother without glasses. The next shot shows her wearing the glasses.

Continuity: When Viola, Kevin and Charlie are having lunch, the woman get emotional and Charlie asks Kevin to leave the table so she and Viola can have a moment. Viola reaches for a green cloth napkin to dab at her fake tears. Once Kevin leaves the table, Viola whips around to speak to Charlie and she has a paper napkin.

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.
