Stray baseballs can be plenty deadly. You’ll be lucky to walk away with a broken nose if you get hit in the face by one.


* {{Narm}}: The death of [[spoiler:Tabitha]] is somewhat undermined by the fact that she was killed by a stray ''baseball''. This is not helped by the text, which describes her as spinning around from the impact of the ball, giving the impression of a ''Looney Toons'' cartoon.

Not YMMV and too general.

* {{Wangst}}: This troper only remembers seeing the movie in high school, in a Christian Ethics class. But it was enough to leave this impression. The protagonists seemed to cry and scream and flip out at the drop of a hat. It's understandable to cry at your mother's death, but our protagonist went into full InelegantBlubbering when he couldn't find some papers. At the time, all this (15 year old) troper could think was "Christ, this kid is a whiner."
