Little Black Book picture

Other mistake: In the end when everyone is on the Kippie Kann show, they show the clip of Lulu and Joyce at the restaurant. It shows Lulu saying, "I'd say it's nice to see you, but then I'd be lying." In the restaurant scene, Lulu never says that.

In Good Company picture

Plot hole: When Dan is chasing after Carter to catch him and Alex together at the restaurant, there's very little chance he could have had any idea where Carter was going. He couldn't have told the cab driver to "follow that taxi" because in the time between Carter getting in a cab and Dan getting in a cab about 5 taxis drive past, so how he happens to end up at the same place is a miracle.

Dog Gone Love picture

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie a hamburger is thrown in hopes that a dog will "fetch" it. When the dog does not do so the hamburger is retrieved twice, in perfect shape, to be thrown two more times. On each throw its various parts would have landed individually all over the place and not been throwable again.

Ella Enchanted picture

Revealing mistake: During the wedding scene, while the narrator is talking, you can see the string that will pull the left table apart. As said in the commentary, the filmmakers weren't going for the idea of people pulling the tables apart, but rather some other force parting them. (01:27:40)

Unfabulous picture

Factual error: At the beginning of the episode where the school gets a news broadcast, Mary Ferry says that the first broadcast will be the following Monday. Later in the show, however, she is talking to Addie at school and says that the first broadcast is the next day. If that was true, it would be Sunday, and they would not be in school, and they never changed the date of the broadcast.

Club Dread picture

Continuity mistake: As the girls run from the killer, the one girl is shirtless as she starts to run, holding her shirt in front of herself to cover her chest. The camera changes to a rear view and now she is running with the shirt in her hand swinging wildly. The camera changes again and suddenly she is running and putting her shirt on, already pulled over her head, a major change from the last shot. Finally, the camera angle changes again and she has her shirt on completely. All of her shirt/hand positions change instantly between shots.

Surviving Christmas picture

Other mistake: When James Gandolfini hits Ben Affleck over the head with the shovel for burning something in his front yard, he falls, but his head never hits the ground. You can actually see Ben Affleck holding his head up a few inches off the ground. An impossible feat for someone who is supposed to be unconscious.
