Normally I wouldn’t do a movie theater review, but my family and I went to see an early screening of Big Miracle over the weekend and I just had to throw a post up here on how amazing it was. Nate (8) is now calling it one of his favorite movies of all time and my husband and I were both riveted during the film.
The movie is based on a true story from the late 80s – a family of three whales trapped by ice in Alaska and the media blitz and huge rescue that ensues to save the family from death. Sounds interesting but not like it would be floor-stopping, right? It was incredible. Drew Barrymore and Jon Krasinski star.
You can check out more about Big Miracle on the official website but seriously, if you have kids of an appropriate age, it’s a must see. It comes out February 3rd.
(Regarding age – personally I’d say at least 5+ should be the age for this movie and that’s even if you have a 5 year old who finds nature interesting. It’s rated PG and there is some mild swearing.)
