★★★☆☆

Starring: Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate, David Koechner, Fred Willard

Corrected entry: Towards the beginning of the film when Ron says "Attention, I have urgent news.CANNONBALL" Just as he is about to run he has a drink, as he jumps it completely vanishes.

Correction: As he runs off the diving board he throws the glass away.

I don't see that. The glass just disappears.

Then watch the scene again. Here's a YouTube clip of it. About the 0:16 mark you see he lets go of the glass and about the 0:17 mark you see a small splash in the pool from the glass. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3l3sJHA1lTU.

Corrected entry: In the pool party scene at the beginning of the movie, Ron is seen holding a half-empty drink with nothing else in it. He then looks for Veronica and in the next shot is seen holding a drink with ice, straw, green umbrella and orange slice. The drink remains unchanged for the rest of the time he talks to Veronica. (00:08:50 - 00:11:10)

Correction: The half empty drink Ron is holding is his scotch, which he throws out of his hand before jumping into the pool. The drink in his hand during the rest of the shots is an entirely new drink.

This correction isn't valid because it's not about the drink he throws before doing the cannonball. The scene in question is afterwards and there's not enough time in between shots for Ron to get a different drink than what he's holding.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Ron throws the burrito at the biker, you can see from the shot in the car that it falls to the ground. After it falls, the biker swivels for a while, and then slides down the street, however, in the shot of him once he stopped, the burrito was in front of him. (00:48:45)
