Isnt-it-Romantic
Romantic comedies can make you fall in love ... and laugh your butt off, which is destined to happen in this weekend's “Isn’t It Romantic?” While the highs, lows, and mishaps that rom-com heroines experience while finding love are entertaining, comedy can't always hide a movie's notable goofs. So, while you're not laughing, crying, or doing something in between, you may notice a few glaring errors in some of your favorite rom-coms, like “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and “10 Things I Hate About You.” All photos courtesy of MovieMistakes.com.

The curious case of the disappearing croissant! The morning after Vivian's first night in the hotel, she's seen eating a croissant, then it cuts to Edward. When we cut back to Vivian, who's eating a pancake that magically goes from half-eaten to full pancake. Big mistake. Huge.
