Continuity mistake: Peter is sitting on his bed when he notices Henry's red notebook (or diary) sticking almost the whole way out of a cardboard box on top of the dresser. When Peter goes to pick up the book, there is a side view of the box - the book isn't there, and he has to put his whole hand inside of the box in order to reach it. If Peter was able to see the book while sitting on his bed, the book should have been visible when he was standing next to the box, but it wasn't. (00:59:42)
The Book of Henry (2017)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Colin Trevorrow
Starring: Naomi Watts, Jacob Tremblay, Jaeden Martell
Glenn commits suicide (shoots himself at home during the talent show) and a judge orders that Susan becomes Christina's permanent legal guardian. Susan reads her published children's book to Peter and Christina, who are temporarily sharing the bedroom (until another room is painted). It is bedtime, so as Susan is leaving the bedroom, she asks "On or off?" (lights), to which both kids say "on." Then, "Open or closed?" (door), and the kids both say "closed." [Henry and Peter used to give opposite answers when asked these questions].

Trivia: Was it absurd for Gregg Hurwitz to write that 11-year-old Henry bought his mother a new car? Believe it or not... NO! New York does not have a statute specifying a minimum age. Presuming Henry used cash (from his investments) to pay for the car, it was legitimate. Being able to buy a car regardless of one's age does not mean everything needed to USE the car will be doable. According to NY Vehicle Code, "You must be at least 16 to register a vehicle. You can title a vehicle at any age." (01:15:35)
