The kid was a geeky scrawny thing; blonde haired with glasses. The one time that he hit the ball, he fouled it off and hit his best friends' mother in the head and she died. He exclaimed in a teary and "small kid" voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry".

The rest of the story was about the life of the kid and his best friend.

The woman that he hit with the ball was a famous actress: Hot woman with botox lips.

That's all I can remember...

... Yes, I know that imdb.com is the best movie site on the net, but I can't think of any of the actor names or the movie...

C'mon you gurus: Lay it on me. I KNOW one of you knows this one!

Thanks, FoxCash. You Da MAN!

My kids have been asking about it since we haven't seen it in awhile. We'll rush off to buy or rent it.
