As Good As It Gets

Continuity mistake: When Carol enters Melvin's building soaking wet to tell him she'll never sleep with him, we can see bra straps across her back under her blouse. But at Melvin's door, she's embarrassed to discover that the wet blouse reveals a distinct lack of a brassiere.

Suggested correction: It shows no such thing. In fact Carol has been so thoroughly soaked that both her T-shirt and bra are wet and have become transparent as a result, and her boobs are showing through.

Not true. She has no bra straps showing when at the door talking, wet shirt. When she leaves and turns, the straps are present, wet shirt.

Continuity mistake: When Melvin and Carol enter the restaurant on their trip, a certain song is playing (I can't recall the song). Melvin leaves to buy a jacket, returns, and just after they are seated, you hear the female band leader say, "Here's a special song for...", and it's the same song they played 10 minutes ago.
