Big Miracle (2012) 8/10

Starring : Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski, Kristen Bell, Dermot Mulroney, Tim Blake Nelson, Vinessa Shaw, Ted Danson
Director : Ken Kwapis
Running Time : 103 mins

Alaskan news reporter Adam Carlson (Krasinski) decides to utilise the help of his ex-girlfriend, Greenpeace supporter Rachel Kramer (Barrymore), when a family of whales become trapped in an ice hole. As the two work to free the family, the whales become surprising world-wide news as the government ask for the assistance of the Russians to help free the trapped animals.

This is an entertaining look at how the simple tale of some unfortunate animals can capture the heart of both the nation and the world. Though the acting isn’t anything special, the gradual build up to the end of the movie, mixed with some sad moments, makes this a movie the whole family can enjoy.
