Make a mistake in Rob Reiner remake (2,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

be in error

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make a mistake' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rob reiner remake' is the wordplay.
'remake' is an anagram indicator (the letters made in a different way).
'rob'+'reiner'='robreiner'
'robreiner' with letters rearranged gives 'BE IN ERROR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
