When John Clasky's mother-in-law kissed him on the head, she then planted one right on his lips. As she walked away she mumbled to Flor, "No one noticed a thing."
What was that about? Was that to allude that she was putting the moves on him?
When she said that, she was referring to the fact she had stopped drinking (though I think Flor knew).

I don't think her kissing him on the lips was anything other than a special fondness for her son-in-law and her way of telling him she understood his situation/frustration and sympathized.
shareThe scene started with her asking Flor if she wanted some wine, of which she was holding a glass of already.
shareShe was just showing her affection for him as her son in law, nothing weird. She says, "No one noticed a thing" after she wobbles up a step because she was drinking a glass of port at that moment. Then she also comments to Flor, "Thanks for never judging me," in reference to her drinking.
>>"No one noticed a thing." <<
She slightly lost her balance ("wobbled") as she was walking because she had too much to drink. That's why she said it.

Don't know if anyone's answered your question, and I know it's a little late but it was because she kind of tripped a little as she was walking away from John.
share"No one noticed.." had only to do with the act of misstep-ping onto the landing of the stairs right where Flor was standing (which I'd think was intended to relate to the wine). It did not relate to her interaction with Clasky/Sandler a couple of seconds before..
My $0.02US (for what it's worth, I'm fairly certain I didn't see the stumble the first time I saw this movie, so I can understand a little confusion. It's not a significant stumble, really)
Hard to misinterpret this scene I think. Perhaps the OP has had some traumatic moments with older women haha
shareIt's my belief that the moment when Evelyn plants one on John, she's letting him know she really loves him no matter what.
The scene is prefaced by Evelyn choosing to leave so that Flor and John can be alone. She calls John a "poor thing" knowing he's being cheated on. Her kiss on his forehead and then the lips, followed by her dialogue with Flor about "loving everyone" and "that's what is killing her" indicates that she is very aware of the interpersonal dynamics of the household, despite her inclination to the occasional cocktail. She's comforting him and also showing unconditional affection. It basically permission for the two main characters, and the audience, to engage in the upcoming scene on the beach.
Her wobble and "no one noticed a thing" seems to be a comical auditory addition to a little physical comedy, but if you wanted to get really deep, you could postulate that the comment is about some of the aloofness to the different relationships going on between everyone in the Summer home.
