Monster-in-Law (2005)

Continuity mistake: Whilst Viola is preparing the nut-gravy in order to make Charlie get an allergic reaction, and in the following shots as Viola and Ruby fight, the pestle on the worktop repeatedly changes position and between shots it jumps in and out of the mortar, without no-one touching it.

Monster-in-Law (2005)

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:43:25)

Continuity mistake: When Kevin approaches Charlie on the beach he is carrying two cups of coffee. He takes a drink and then when he chokes, after Charlie makes a comment about thinking he is gay, the second cup of coffee is gone from his hand and is then back again in following shots as they continue to walk along the beach.

Monster-in-Law (2005)

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:19:10)
