[edit] What is that film called

Since this question didn't receive a response when I first posted it last June, I'll try again. Please use the section edit link to answer so the answer is left on my usersubpage so I don't lose it. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:19, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The question about the film with the drowning kid above, brought to mind another film. In it, a boy is talked into jumping of (I think) a railway bridge by his older brother and his brother's friend, but when he jumps, a log comes from under the bridge and he lands on it on his back. He would've drowned if it wasn't for the kids saving him, but he ends up paralyzed in a wheelchair. The rest of the story involves the older brother's feelings of guilt, a doctor who examines the kid for the possibility of a risky operation falling in love with his mother. I think the older brother may have been played by Brendan Fletcher or Kevin Zegers, but it could be someone else entirely. Has anyone got an idea which film I'm talking about? - Mgm|^(talk) 09:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

When was it made? About how old were the brothers? Have you scanned the IMDb profiles of those actors? − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 00:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

• I'd say it was made in the 1990s or very early 2000s. I suspect it was someone else after all because non of the IMDB titles ring a bell. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
