Movie of the Week: Accidents Happen
"There are dysfunctional families... and then there are the Conways. After a family tragedy, 15-year-old Billy Conway has become the de facto glue between his bitter mom, distant brother, and stoic dad. But when Billy starts to act out, everything changes for him and his family."
Rented this thinking it was a comedy - turns out its a bittersweet drama. I thought it was pretty boring and didn't really like it. Definitely not what I was thinking it was.
Billy is accident prone. He and his family get in a car accident. His sister dies and one of his two brothers is brain damaged. The parents divorce. The mom can't bring herself to visit the brother who is brain dead in the hospital. Billy's other brother is deeply depressed and kind of violent. Billy becomes friends with the neighbor kid. Billy and the neighbor kid find a bowling ball and roll it down the street. A car swerves to avoid the ball and driver is killed. Driver turns out to be neighbor kids dad. The guilt of it forces them to confess. Cops never found the bowling ball at the scene so they don't press charges. Random old lady has the ball and gives it to Billy. Billy rolls it down the street again. The End.
