* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Considering that Brenda’s lack of critical thinking by running away from home with no money except for one way cab fare was what started the whole thing, it’s hard to really pity her when she runs into a lot of bad luck plus she dives into UngratefulBitch territory when she asks Chris what took her so long after the night Chris has had getting there in the first place.

* WhatAnIdiot: Oh so many:
** Brenda, instead of talking to her parents (either of them), gets the plot underway by taking a cab to the bus station. Only to realize that she only had enough money for the cab fare.
** Daryl, sure it's a great idea to steal something (in this case a ''Playboy'' with valuable information written inside) from a bunch of car thieving mobsters.
** Joe Gipp, obviously it's far too dangerous to leave three minors out on the streets of Chicago. They will surely be much safer at a mobsters' hideout.
** The entire movie is somewhat of an IdiotBall. The moment Chris got the call from Brenda, she should have immediately tried to contact her parents, Brenda's parents, Sara's parents, and/or the police--and throughout the film she passes up numerous opportunities to do any of those things. However, it's a plausible depiction of the behavior of teenagers, who are often more scared of getting in trouble with the grownups than they are of actually dying.
*** Special mention must go to the moment when they have the car, all fixed, and are set to go home and end their hellish ordeal...and then they spot Mike's car outside the restaurant, and Chris just ''has'' to go in and confront him. Not fume the rest of the way home, have a good cry after putting the kids to bed, cheer up when she remembers that she has already met a much nicer guy at the college who's really into her, and triumphantly break up with Mike in the morning...nope, she needs to get in his face RIGHT NOW!
