Continuity mistake: Early in the film, there is a scene where Uma Thurman and Colin Firth are in their bedroom and he brings her a cup of coffee. He places both cups on a tray then places it on the bed and frequently in the scene, the cups change from either being side by side, or one placed inside the other.
The Accidental Husband (2008)
Directed by: Griffin Dunne
Starring: Colin Firth, Uma Thurman, Sam Shepard, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Justina Machado
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Emma meets Richard at a restaurant with the signed papers, she puts them on the table. When the shot changes from further away, they are not on the table, but when the shot comes closer they are. (00:57:35)
Factual error: When Emma and Richard decide to call off the wedding, to provide an excuse to evacuate the church they light a small fire to set off the sprinkler in the side room they are in, but the sprinklers also go off in the main area of the church, forcing all the guests to leave. Sprinklers are individually heat-activated, and one going off in response to a localized fire would not set off sprinklers in other areas.
Emma: You can't find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
