By-the-book dialogue and lame performances do the film no favours but, hey, worse things happen at sea.
There's something refreshing about a kids' movie that manages to get through its entire length without a poop joke.
If you're looking for a passable film to take the kids to this weekend, Miracle offers a smart enough take on its feel-good plot to keep adult viewers tuned in.
"Big Miracle" might be subtitled, "How Hollywood Turned a Real Story Into Bogus Fiction."
Big Miracle is not one of those whale tales that leaves the audience blubbering, but it's open to the allure of the imposing creatures, which resemble long boulders that have come to life.
"Big Miracle" shouldn't really work, but it does.
Audience Reviews for Big Miracle
Probably takes some liberties in telling a true news story from the 80s, but does it with such a charm and big heart that you can't help but like the result. Of course that's somewhat predictable, but the decent cast and lovable message make it work. They didn't make films like that for a while, but sometimes this is exactly what you need on a dark winter afternoon. Kids will love it, for sure.

Truly a family movie with an inspiring story about helping the animals..

Pretty lame. Felt like a TV movie. Even Drew Barrymore could not really lift this, and geez, couldn't someone have touched up her roots before filming started! It's got a fairly high rating, so perhaps it just me being harsh, but I really did find this ordinary.
