KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: A stunt double was used for Lucas flying off his bike and into the side of a delivery truck. The legs are obviously thinner; Lucas isn't that "thin." Even though movie goers could assume that a stunt double would be used in this situation, the director / producers apparently did not even try to make the stunt double pass as Lucas - and all they needed to do was make the stunt double wear bigger pants (Lucas' size) and add padding. (00:36:58)

Revealing mistake: The use of a green screen (or other color) during most of the cafeteria scene is obvious if you watch the people in the background instead of the main characters and is flawed in a few ways (e.g, varying angles, greater distance, continuity of a person, etc). For example there is a man wearing a blue shirt/tan pants and carrying a briefcase walking down the aisle toward the Good Boys' table. When the man is walking along the wall that is behind the Good Boys, he is further ahead than he is when he is picked up again. Also, this man shows up in front of Max when Max is walking to Soren's table. The man also appears walking along the back wall with a woman. Watching the wall behind Thor and Lucas, it is sometimes at an angle and other times looks more distant. Some of the people would essentially be walking "out of the wall" in order to appear where they do (e.g, the boy with a backpack).

KeyZOid

Stupidity: The Good Boys were going to ride their bikes four miles to the mall but did not even think to bring bike locks with them. Also, even if there were no locks on the bikes when parked in front of the store, this does not necessarily mean that the bikes would not still be there later for the Good Boys to pick up. Thor just assumed that the bikes were lost/stolen forever because he said his family would not be able to have "Cycle Sundays."

KeyZOid

Other mistake: The mirror on the bike that Lucas is riding when fleeing from the girls is near the center of the handlebars and pointed toward his chest at a slightly upward slant. Given how far away Lily is (and at ground level), the mirror can't be capturing her image like it is shown (or at all, for that matter). (00:36:28)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: When the Good Boys get to Thor's house after leaving school, there are three bikes lying on the ground near the front steps (to the left), but the bikes are not there when Claude leaves with the "CPR doll." (00:31:24 - 00:35:00)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: The story starts about two weeks into the school year, making it late August or early September. Max's dad got home early, some time before 5:00 PM, and Lucas was at Max's bedroom window a little after the two hours he had been home from the mall, so it was now some time before 7:00 PM - too early in the evening for it to be after dark walking to Soren's house for the "kissing party." Timewise, the foliage also doesn't always sync. Sometimes, all the trees are lush green, other times the trees have partly or already turned orange, and when Max removes the drone from the box after the girls drop the Good Boys off 1.7 miles from home, there are fallen orange leaves on the brick pavement.

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: 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

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

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?
