Factual error: The opening shot is of a somewhat long and quite high bridge with an equally high waterfall behind it. After a couple views of the surroundings, Henry and Peter are standing in the middle (portion) of a stone barricade/wall (extension of the bridge?) with a huge lake behind it, waiting for the school bus. There's absolutely no legitimate or rational reason for such a location to be a school bus stop! School bus stops always have safety in mind, and this bus stop is anything but safe. (00:02:32)
The Book of Henry (2017)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Colin Trevorrow
Starring: Naomi Watts, Jacob Tremblay, Jaeden Martell
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)
Susan Carpenter: We are not murdering the police commissioner and that is final.
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)
