Weird camera stuff w/ John and Ruthie

Did anyone else notice the weird switching off of camera angles/time lapse shots while John and Ruthie are drinking whisky and eating whipped cream? At first I thought it looked really unprofessional and I couldn't believe it got through editing. However, judging by the weirdness of the rest of the movie, I'm guessing it was deliberate. I just watched it on Encore so I can't rewind. Anyone who has it on DVD should check that scene out. Who knows.

Yeah I thought that scene was weird too, if I remember correctly, it switched back and forth between him eating/drinking and her eating/drinking. It threw me off at first, and then I just figured it was intentional. I didn't like it though.
