Valentine's Again picture

Continuity mistake: When Kat wakes up for the second go-around of Valentine's Day (the first repetition), she scoffs at the text from Bradley, her date who bailed on her. When the text is inserted onscreen, it matches the original day's, mentioning their planned dinner and first in-person meeting. When her phone's actual screen is shown, the text from Bradley is an invitation to breakfast. They never had or planned a breakfast. The wording is very similar to Danny's invitation at the end of the movie.

My Pet Dinosaur picture

Continuity mistake: When the boy wakes up in the middle of the night after first hearing the dinosaur, his alarm clock reads 2:0x (its not clear but the digit segments on show imply it's either 2:05 or 2:06). The next time we see the clock it's 2:02, then two scenes later when the dinosaur decides to and then does jumps off the table the clock now reads 2:22.

Lean on Pete picture

Continuity mistake: In the opening inside scene, Charley is by the front door, wearing baggy oversized gray jogging shorts. The side pocket slits are partially open, the legs are wide enough to fit three or four of Charley's legs, and the excess material around the waist is bunched. When the camera shows Charley coming out the door, his jogging shorts are slimmer/ more form-fitting and look more navy (or a darker gray) than gray. During his jogging, his shorts turn baggier for a while, then return to a slim fit. (00:02:05)

The Book of Henry picture

Continuity mistake: Driveways are to the right of the houses (on screen). Susan is parking on the left side of her house, apparently in her front yard (covered in leaves so the grass is not obvious). This puts her closer to Glenn's house and facilitates conversations and interactions. Unloading groceries, Susan's car suddenly becomes closer to Glenn's house when talking to Christina. Shots from Glenn's house show the car closer to Susan's house and shots from Susan's house show the car closer to Glenn's house. (00:24:55)
