Shallow Hal (2001)

Continuity mistake: After Hal's hypnosis is broken at the restaurant, he's outside talking with Mauricio and then Katrina walks up to him saying he never called her back. During that line walking up, she still looks fairly attractive (but not nearly like the supermodel look Hal saw in the cab). Then the camera is on Hal a second then back to Katrina and suddenly now she looks fully "unattractive" for the rest of the scene. She should have also looked fully just as unattractive when first walking up to Hal as well.

Suggested correction: The version of Katrina we see the second time, as she's walking, doesn't change when she starts talking to Hal. Her hair is pulled back and into a ponytail instead of full and blonde like the first time we saw her. The only difference is we don't see her teeth until she starts talking. The camera also never cuts away from Katrina when she's seen walking up to Hal and when she first talks to him. It cuts to him after we see she's less attractive.

Yes, however, her mouth closes close up (without showing her teeth for a second or two), and she still looks like a different person than when first walking up. Maybe it's just the way I see it (maybe I caught Hal's hypnosis).
