Goofs for
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) More at IMDbPro »

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Eddie said The Perfect Storm (2000) was shot off the Mexican resort but the movie was never filmed in Mexico. He was just saying that to discourage his wife from going on to the boat.
  
  
• Factual errors: Miranda states she is drinking a Mind Eraser, however her drink is red and it has tequila in it - both not true. A Mind Eraser would not be either since it contains only vodka, coffee liqueur and soda water.
  
  
• Continuity: When Eddie's father walks in Miranda's room after Eddie gets caught at her bedside, his white cap is about to fall off while he says his line. In the next frame, his cap is suddenly perfectly straight again.
  
  

• Factual errors: Miranda tells Eddie that she coaches the women's lacrosse team at Ole Miss, a.k.a. The University of Mississippi. Ole Miss does not have a women's (or men's) lacrosse team.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: While Eddie and Lila are driving down to Mexico on the Highway, their car is filmed from the side, passing by. You can clearly see the reflection of the crane the camera was mounted on in their cars' side.
  
  
• Continuity: During the scene when Lila gets mugged and Eddie is trying to help her, the same red car comes down the street and stops at the intersection twice.
  
  
• Continuity: In the diner when Lila asks Eddie to hold her hand while they eat, he puts his napkin in his lap and switches hands. When the camera changes angles his hand hasn't been changed. It goes back and forth a few times.
  
  
• Continuity: Eddie's bottle changes hands when he's talking to Uncle Tito and Manuel.
  
  
• Continuity: When Eddie is checking into the hotel you can see a boat passing in the ocean behind Tito, but when the camera cuts to Eddie then back to Tito the boat is gone, even though their wouldn't have been enough time for the boat to pass out of the scene.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Jerry Stiller is talking about comedy being a male trait, "...Haven't you ever noticed whenever you see a really funny girl, she's a little mannish? Think about it. Lily Tomlin, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell -", he clearly says "EVELYN" DeGeneres, not Ellen.
  
  
• Continuity: When Eddie is struggling with the robber (who has stolen Lyla's bag) a red car pulls up twice but when the camera cuts away the car disappears and the car does not pass by.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Eddie and Lyla are driving to Mexico and they are singing in the car, one of the songs played is The Devil Went Down To Georgia. Lyla plays a trumpet with her fingers when in fact the instrument played in the song is a fiddle.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Lila is wiping the cream off her face, you can see the red makeup used to create a sunburn on the towel she uses.
  
  
• Continuity: Eddie and Miranda are having drinks with the family after their day at the beach. In the first shot Eddie has a nearly emptied green colored drink. In the ensuing shots the color changes to white and the level of the drink changes periodically.
  
  
• Continuity: In the scene when Eddie talks to Miranda's family at their home in Oxford, Boo's hand is on Martin's right shoulder when shot from the front, but his hand is on Martin's left shoulder when shot from behind.
  
  
• Continuity: When Miranda falls into the ocean and Eddie jumps in after her, you can clearly see that Miranda is wearing aqua shoes in the water instead of her sandals; which she is wearing when she is walking out of the water on the beach.
  
  
• Continuity: During the breakup scene where Lila comments about the guacamole, the ice is visible in their water glasses at one camera angle and is melted in the next.
  
  
• Continuity: During the wedding reception when Eddie meets Lila's mom, an Asian lady wearing a blue dress is dancing in the background behind Eddie. In the next shot, the same lady is seen dancing behind Lila's mom.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: When Eddie is trying to tell Lila he wants to get a divorce, there are two glasses of water on the table, without any ice inside them. Later, after the cousin's intervention, the same glasses can be seen, but this time filled with trimmed ice.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: Lila told Eddie that her cocaine abuse gave her a deviated septum (a crooked nose). Cocaine abuse can produce a perforated septum (a hole between the nostrils), which is what Lila has. Hilarity ensues as different items come through.
