* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Despite being rated PG, the film is emotionally intense and contains swearing as well as fairly explicit female nudity. This is largely a facet of the PG rating being much broader at the time of the movie's release than it is now; had it come out in the present day it would almost certainly have been PG-13 (a rating that didn't exist in the late '70s) or even R.

** The court system being prejudiced against men when it comes to child custody battles. This was a lesson that desperately needed to be taught back then, and we still need reminding of today. The fact Joanna came so close to getting full custody of her son even after abandoning him, and only averts this by giving up her fight, drives it home.

After that scene, you'll understand how Ted is sprinting like a Olympic track star with Billy in his arms to the hospital. The fact that the kid needs stitches and Ted can only hold him as they are painfully sewn is equally painful for the audience too.
* YouFailLawForever: The book ''Reel Justice'' notes that Ted's fear of Billy upon on the stand is ridiculous, considering that in an Appeals Court trial with no new evidence, ''nobody'' testifies as a witness.
