Lonesome Jim picture

Revealing mistake: Jim's town is called "Cromwell", yet in the scene in which he steps from his van to enter the bar, there's a sign mounted on a street lamp which says "Historic Goshen". (The movie was photographed in the town of Goshen, as indicated in the closing credits.).

In Her Shoes picture

Revealing mistake: When Rose and her boyfriend are making a toast in her apartment we hear a perfect chiming sound. We can see that they're both holding their glasses by the bowl instead of holding them from the stem. Holding a glass this way would never allow a chiming sound.

Rebound picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene when the coach's friend (priest) also played by Martin Lawrence is praying with the team. Every time it shows the back of the coach's head in line with the front of the priest's head it has noticeably less hair than Martin Lawrence and you can tell it is a stand in.

Adam and Eve picture

Continuity mistake: When the men are in the lounge room, one of them is playing GTA III on a PS2. Note the car he is in (a squad car) and the health (a heart logo near it with 68). Pattie enters room and says goodbye. The men try to figure out who slept with her. On figuring it out they jump up and leave room, we get one more shot of the game and he is now in a different car and health is 100. You will notice that he doesn't play it long enough to change cars as he is not looking at the screen long enough. During the scene you can hear the sirens of the squad car he was in, meaning he didn't change cars. Also he never would of regained full health that quick. (00:56:05)

Happy Endings picture

Other mistake: Otis picks up a DVD case and asks if he can take it home to look at. While waiting for an answer he opens the jewel case and even moves the inside flap (as would be in a case with more than one DVD). There is no DVD in the case, it is completely empty (all black inside). He later views the non-existent DVD at home. (00:16:55)
