Factual error: Right at the start of the film, it shows the girls going up for the first day of school which would have been around Fall. It shows tulips blooming in the garden, but tulips only bloom during the spring. (00:00:55)

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot picture

Factual error: Jonah Hill references "Chucky" from the movie Childs Play. This movie's period is set somewhere in the late 1970's. The movie Childs Play didn't come out until 1988.

Holmes & Watson picture

Audio problem: When Mrs. Hudson finds a package for Sherlock instructing him to open it before the trial, she says "I never even heard anyone knocking" whilst handing it to Watson, but the line appears to have been dubbed over as her lips don't match up with the dialogue.

Game Night picture

Factual error: Max could not have been accidentally shot when Annie drops the revolver. She dropped it when she was startled by firing it into the ceiling so the hammer would still be sitting on the spent/empty shell casing. The trigger or hammer must be pulled back in order for the cylinder of a revolver to rotate to the next live chamber.

Daphne & Velma picture

Other mistake: Daphne's dad drops the Legitimate Tulip badge in front of her so she'll avoid getting hurt, but when we see him do that, he does it before the warning for the ball is heard and seemingly not looking at the danger (especially in the second shot, when he is peeking from the corner). So his action makes no sense. (00:16:55)

Bernie The Dolphin picture

Other mistake: After Kevin and Holly go kayaking in the ocean and get to shore, their upper bodies and hair are dry despite having been in a tandem-style sit-on-top kayak, which generally means the kayakers will get quite wet. (00:03:40)

Uncle Drew picture

Continuity mistake: In the van after they pick up Preacher and he mentions it's cold. Preacher leans up to the front and looks over Dax, asking about his head being too big. There are several cuts between shots here before Preacher slinks back into the van and his position of his head and shoulders changes between almost every one in various positions. (00:33:50)

Gringo picture

Continuity mistake: When they reach the plant in Mexico and Richard is introduced to the plant manager and his right hand man, Richard points to him with an empty hand.

Love, Simon picture

Factual error: Simon receives an email notification at the dinner table from Blue on his cell phone. The cell phone screen indicates that the time is 3:20, which is inaccurate for a mealtime because it is already dark outside and crickets are chirping when he excuses himself to go outside to get some air. (00:28:10)

Then Came You picture

Plot hole: *SPOILER* Calvin's twin sister and mother were killed years earlier in an automobile accident. Calvin kept going to his doctor with "new symptoms", insisting there was something physically wrong. Dr. Collins told Calvin, "Your health issues aren't physical. I thought sending you to that support group would give you a better perspective." The doctor should have referred Calvin to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis and, if appropriate, the psychiatrist would recommend therapy or a support group. (00:10:15)
