BIG MIRACLE (Theatrical Release USA 2012)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Big Miracle—based on a true story—uses the talents of Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski, Tim Blake Nelson, and Ted Danson to tell its story. The well-written script allows a pleasing look into native Alaskan culture and values, political maneuvering, media politics, and environmentalist demands. The film provides good after viewing discussion for parents and their children. Good work for Director Ken Kwapis.
