KeyZOid

Character mistake: Lucas says he loves "Ascension, rules, and anti-drug campaigns", so would not be likely to encourage Max to go to Soren's party after his father grounded him... or ask what his father would do about it (double-ground him?). Even though Lucas tells Max that he has "grown a lot" in the two hours after getting home and talking to his parents about all that happened that day (which they didn't believe), we aren't told in what way(s) he has grown - but it would not be favoring violation of rules. Also, Lucas later tells Hannah and Lily at Soren's house that he loves "Ascension, rules, anti-drug campaigns, and grilled cheese." This indicates that his view on rules has not changed, reinforcing the assertion that it was out of character for Lucas to encourage Max to go Soren's party while grounded.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: When Max and Thor shove Lucas toward the dumpster to reset his dislocated shoulder, Lucas screams "wrong arm." Instead of trying again - for the right arm - Max says, "New site."

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: At the skate park, when Atticus asks Max and Thor if they want to see something, Atticus has three friends with him but only two of his friends show up in the woods where they sip a beer.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: From the outside, the chimney on Max's house is rectangular but is square (or almost square) when the drone is going down it. (00:59:03)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: When Joe picks up one of the cubes and puts it in his jacket pocket, Charles is nowhere around him. Later, Charles tells Joe that he told him not to touch it [cube] in the first place.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Mr. Newman (Max's dad) automatically assuming that Max was to blame for using the drone and wrecking the room can be viewed as a mistake when certain factors are taken into consideration. In the opening scene, Max and his dad are presented as having a good father-son relationship; Mr. Newman even refers to Max as his "buddy" and says he is proud of him. Max tells his dad he won't touch the drone. When Max's dad calls to tell him he will be home early, Max sounds cheerful and does not let on that anything is wrong. Hence, it would make more sense for Mr. Newman to believe that Max's little sister was responsible for the mess - she would be less likely to know how to use and steer the drone, causing a lot of damage in the room before she could get the drone under control or the drone crashed. Why Max never bothered to worry that his mother (or his little sister, for that matter) would notice that the drone was missing is another flaw.

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: Vehicles that are about to be involved in a crash have their windows cracked, shattered or blown out immediately before (a fraction of a second to 1-2 seconds). Conversely, some vehicles suffer no glass shattering when they roll over. The Good Son can serve as an example of both "mistakes." in chapter #9: "Mr. Highway", the first bus that turns on its side has no window breakage; the car that smashes into the bus has a crack in the driver's side windshield; at least two other cars get their windows blown out before ramming into the wrecked cars ahead of them.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Drivers are able to look directly at front or back seat passengers for relatively long periods of time (i.e, take their eyes off the road) but don't crash or veer off the road.

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: After Max's dad tells him he is grounded and the Good Boys fight/argue, Max walks away without his backpack (and the Drone's box, which would contain the recharging base, instructions, and warranty information?). A little later, Max is walking along the road with his backpack on.

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: During the lunch scene when Soren is asking Max to his kissing party, the background changes and the placement of the table in relation to the double doors varies. The kids sitting at the table and Max standing do not move. Sometimes the background (behind Soren) is a solid wall with posters and other times it appears to be the cafeteria counter with microwave ovens and/or available foods (e.g, oranges, ketchup, mustard). The table is perpendicular to the double doors but a little later the doors are at a slant.

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: "Snowflakes" will stay on a person's coat/shoulders and top of head plus will not melt when the person goes indoors; it might "roll off."

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Max was supposed to be more developmentally mature than Thor and Lucas and going through puberty but there were no indications of this. He still had a child's voice, did not have any facial hair (or "pubes"), and did not appear to have started a growth spurt. Even though he had hormones raging through his body, he did not have one pimple (zit). [Make-up artists have put zits on many adults to make them look younger in teen movies.] The co-writers deliberately used 12-year-olds to make them look the part and convince the audience that they were naive, but Max, especially, did not look the part.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: At the party, Max did not have anywhere from which to pull out the "necklace" (anal beads) to give to Brixlee. It apparently was not in his pants' pockets or his little leather jacket, and he did not have a backpack with him. The beads were simply too big to have hidden them under his clothes.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: When Claude was leaving with the doll, he called the Good Boys "fools" and said he would have paid $1,000. The Good Boys knew how to use the internet to find out the value of the Ascension card [Turzan of Uzkara] and the price for a new drone but didn't think of looking up the cost of a CPR doll before selling it to Claude.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: Hannah told the Good Boys not to tell Benji she sent them to buy the pills. At the frat house, Benji asked the Good Boys if Rafi from Sigma Nu sent them. They could/should have lied and said "yes" and Benji would not find out it was Hannah.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: Thor looked for (and found) "weapons" in the back of his parents' closet, but didn't think of getting knives from the kitchen. Also, when Claude was in the house, Thor put the paintball gun in Max's backpack in case someone messed with them when going for the drone but had not thought of using it before Claude arrived.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: The Good Boys run off from the store without their bikes - which were parked immediately outside the door. The double-sided dildo was used to hold the door closed, so they had time to hop on their bikes and make a faster getaway.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: The sex doll was mistaken for a CPR doll by the Good Boys, but they apparently changed her clothes from a halter and shorts to a dress before Claude arrived. Why didn't they notice that it was not a CPR doll?

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Near the end when the Good Boys are fighting/arguing, Max tells Thor that he skipped the "Rock of Ages" audition because he didn't think it was cool. Thor missed the audition because Max got him and Lucas to skip school in order to go to the mall and buy a replacement drone.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Hannah's bag (purse) never reappeared and after the first day when she said it contained her license and phone, she never asked for them again! What 17-18 year-old would not be concerned about her driver's license or cell phone? The next morning at the playground across from the school, Lily even said, "Give us the bag or I will hurt you." Hannah was driving without a license.
