Before you criticize to harshly, I would reccomend reading the book. It makes it a lot easier to visualize, and to appreciate the irony.

I didn't read the book before watching the movie, but I did cry on the screen of mom dyeing w/ the best friend hitting the ball for the 1st time hitting it. He may be small but who says he isn't powerful? I cried thru out almost all the movie after the little guy hit his mother w/ the baseball. Very good movie and I reccomend it to anyone who likes a movie which could be a true story. This could be based on a true story. Why couldn't it be, if anyone has anything to say about it? God bless all and anyone who don't believe, watch and see how it could be true?!! *smiles*
shareI did, I mean, wouldn't you cry if your mom died at that age? To roxychick 71. he didn't mean to kill Joe's mom, remember, he thought that she was so sexy that he forgot he was someone's mother!
shareYes, definitely.
shareThe way she died is so stupid. I mean...come on! I've been hit in the head with baseballs/softballs and I never fell down and died! She was hit in her temple and that is the hardest place to bruise--let alone kill someone. If the baseball was hit by...say Barry Bonds (especially if he's on steroids at the time) I would totally believe that a person might die from being hit in the head. But the ball was hit by tiny Simon Birch--a 3 foot something LP. I understand that it is better explained in the book, but seriously...hit in the head by a baseball? Who's the author of the book?
How long till this goes away?
no but i cried when Simon died....I saw this movie for the first time yesterday and I love it lol....
shareI kinda shed a half a tear when she was hit and died, but I did more so when Simon cried after, along with another thing or two in the movie. But I was mainly in supreme aw at how gorgeous Ms. Wenteworth looked lying there, even in death. God, Ashley Judd is...Wow! And I don't care how bad the two boys, or the extra people around town felt, I know Ben was a sad mothaf___, to lose all that good yum-yum.
I mean, let's be for real. The only reason Ben was there for for Joe afterwards was to keep his mind occupied, in order that he wouldn't end up killing Simon for f__in' up.
