Freaky Friday (2003)

Continuity mistake: Jake's solepatch is extremely noticeable for most of the movie, and at the wedding, it is still there, but you can barely tell. It is noticeable that she shaved a great deal of it off before the wedding, which in real life would not happen.

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie when the Grandpa and grandson are tackled after being given the 'fortune cookies' right at the moment of impact the little boy has been replaced by a stunt double which is a grown man dressed in the same clothes. Like the dude has wrinkles and doesn't even resemble the boy at all.

Continuity mistake: When they find out that they have changed bodies, Tess (Anna's body) has a strand of hair going backwards over the back of her head in the shots from behind her, then when the shot faces her, all of her hair is straight down beside her face.

Plot hole: When Anna in her mum's body, gets to the office she has to sign for a package. At this point she finds out that her mum is "blind". She should have found out when looking through her mum's purse which was closer than the form she had to sign.

Continuity mistake: When Tess and Anna (in each other's bodies) go to the Chinese restaurant to get switched back, Pei Pei says, "No, you get back here" to her mother and she has a serious look on her face. When the shot changes, she is suddenly smiling very widely at Tess and Anna.

Continuity mistake: When Anna (Tess) wakes up and realizes she is in her daughter's body, Harry comes in and says that mom is dead. She goes into her room and sends Harry down stairs and she says he could eat her (Anna's) cereal. Harry goes down stairs and when Anna (Tess) is going to try to wake her up she reaches with two fingers to poke her and in the next shot she only poked her with one finger.

Factual error: When Jake is giving Anna (in Tess' body) a ride on his motorcycle, you hear what sounds like a gearshift. However, Jake never pulls in the clutch or lets off the gas. If he would shift without doing this, the shift would never sound as nice as it did.

Continuity mistake: When Anna and her mum are at the rehearsal dinner, Jamie Lee Curtis (in Anna's body) cries. In the first shot, her first tear has rolled down to her lip, but in the next, it is around the same level as her nose.

Continuity mistake: When Anna is talking to her friends at school, her shirt has a patch of white fabric with the guitar design on it. When she is arguing with her mum about her door, the white patch of fabric is gone. It changes back and forth several times.

Continuity mistake: When Pei Pei calls for her mother, she comes from the kitchen. She sees Anna and Tess and tries to escape by going back through the door she came from, but when the camera cuts back to her, she is about to enter the other door. (00:49:48)

Continuity mistake: At the wedding rehearsal, when they have just returned to their own bodies, Anna picks up a glass of water to toast but once she raises it, they feature a shot from behind her in which the glass and the liquid in it has completely changed. (01:26:36)

Continuity mistake: While in class, when a student responds about Hamlet, Anna has her right arm raised. A shot later it's lowered.
