I had no idea what this movie was all about when I sat down to watch it. No one spoke about it. No one promoted it. And no one did anything to make this little movie known. And by the force of the universe I actually get a chance to see it.
I love this movie. It's quirky, unpredictable and bizarre. It's all about accidents and how it starts a chain reaction to other actions. And I love Geena Davis whom I have always adored in The Long Kiss Goodnight, Angie, Thelma and Louise, Beetlejuice and The Accidental Tourist.
This movie also reminds me of Running with Scissors and a friend who is the most accident prone guy I have ever met. That's what this movie is about. People who are accident prone, namely the Conway family. And this is based on Billy Conway's aka Brian Carbee's childhood experiences, who also staged a one person show, wrote the novel and then screenplay.
While there is laughter there are also tears, and the weird thing is this is an Australian production that is set in the US.
7/10
