Meet the Fockers (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Greg does damage control in Roz's office by hiding things, the height of the table is about Greg's waist level - also note the wood paneling trim. In the previous shot, as Greg surveys the room, the table is a foot lower, which is also seen in other shots including when Greg enters the room, after the football game, to check on Jack and the table height is level with Greg's thighs. The entire table was deliberately raised in the close-up. (00:27:00)

Elizabethtown (2005)

Continuity mistake: When Claire and Drew talk on the phone while she is in the tub, as she says, "I'll get there (Hawaii) and sleep," there are bubbles on her and all around. In her next close-up as she says, "I'll let you go," all the bubbles differ. However, after Drew asks, "When will you be back?" as she gushes in this shot, all the bubbles are identical to the first shot. (00:53:50)

Continuity mistake: In Drew's hotel room, in the shot of him removing his pants while he is telling Claire about the volume of Samson's voice, there is a huge potted plant beside the doorway to the bedroom.

Audio problem: In Drew's hotel room, while he sleeps, when Claire and her red sandals stomp over towards the TV to try and wake Drew, she is making loud stomping noises as if she and her heels are stomping around on a bare wood floor, but there's carpet on the floor. Obviously deliberately done for the humor. (01:20:20)
