It's Complicated

Continuity mistake: When Jane is crying and staring at the sky she is not holding a napkin, as the scene cuts back she is.

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film, Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin are sitting on a lawn swing. The number of chains supporting the swing varies between shots. Sometimes the back stay is a single chain and sometimes it is a double chain.

Suggested correction: The swing supports never change. There's suspending chains on both sides of the bench; both chains are each attached to another chain with (2) connection points, one on the lower front and one on the upper back (4 points total on the bench).

Continuity mistake: During the bath scene where Jane is in the tub and Jake is sitting there talking, the candle on the window sill changes location. In the close up shots the candle and mug on the window sill are right next to one another. In the wide shots, the candle is towards the middle of the window.

Question: Is Pedro actually Jake's biological son? I'm sure in the movie it mentions he wasn't and Agnes had him before meeting Jake.
