I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

Continuity mistake: In the shower scene where the soaps are dropped, what Larry is holding changes constantly.

Continuity mistake: When Alex runs her cart into Chuck's cart at the store, Alex is reading a book with her glasses on. The camera shoots the carts hitting each other, then Alex talking to Chuck (with her glasses on), then Chuck talking to Alex and back to Alex without her glasses. The rest of the scene is shot with Alex's glasses hanging in the middle of her shirt. They never show Alex actually removing her glasses and hanging them.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the first inspector comes to the house to inform Larry that his domestic partnership is being investigated by the state, after he has made his assessment and they are seeing him off on the outside porch, the door behind Chuck and Larry goes from being wide open, to almost entirely shut, to partially open, to entirely open, to halfway open. etc. throughout the scene.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are being addressed by the board separately, Chuck is asked to leave. Chuck does so and then they show the cross questioning between both Chuck and Larry. After the questioning, Larry comes out to tell Chuck how the questioning went, Chuck questions whether they're done, and Alex states "No, they still need to question the children." This indicates that Chuck was already questioned. If this is the case, why is it Larry coming back from the questioning room, and Chuck eagerly waiting? It should be Larry waiting in the Lobby for Chuck to finish.
