Continuity mistake: When the women ride by on horseback in the woods, once they pass the men, they've switched sides. (01:05:38)
The Importance of Being Earnest (2002)
1 picture
Directed by: Oliver Parker
Starring: Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon, Rupert Everett, Frances O'Connor
Continuity mistake: When Cecily offers cake, the butler puts it in front of Gwyn. In the very next wide shot, there is nothing in front of them, not even their teacups. (01:00:49)
Lady Bracknell: I don't know whether there is anything particularly exciting about the air in this particular part of Hertfordshire, but the number of engagements that go on seem to me to be considerably above the proper average that statistics have laid down for our guidance.
Trivia: Rupert Everett ad-libbed two scenes: the one in which he kisses Colin Firth on the cheek, and the one where he heartily slaps Colin Firth on the bottom. The director, Oliver Parks, thought Firth's startled reactions were so funny that he kept both in the film.
