Big Miracle

When a family of grey whales becomes trapped in the Arctic Circle, a Greenpeace volunteer and a small-town reporter go to extraordinary lengths to save the majestic creatures in this romantic adventure inspired by actual events. Alaskan newsman Adam Carlson (John Krasinski) has grown weary of working in such a small market. He's eager to move on to bigger and better things when the story of a lifetime lands right in his lap. Ice has been forming in the Arctic Circle at a rate so fast that a family of grey whales has become hopelessly stranded. As the eyes of the world turn toward this small, chilly corner of the globe, an oil tycoon, slews of politicians, and countless journalists descend upon Alaska -- each with their own hidden agenda. Meanwhile, the only one Adam notices is Rachel Kramer (Drew Barrymore), a devout environmentalist who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend. As the situation grows dire, the unlikely pair rallies a diverse coalition of allies to work together toward the common goal of saving the endangered marine mammals. The result is a rescue mission that will help to thaw Cold War tensions between America and Russia, and show the entire world just what can be accomplished when we start working together, instead of pulling apart. Dermot Mulroney, Tim Blake Nelson, Ted Danson, and Kristen Bell co-star.

    • Big Miracle even throws in an unexpected bonus, a surprise last-minute cameo that is funny without being the slightest bit mean, just like the rest of this hugely likable movie.

    Barrymore's whale movie flops as Chronicle and Woman in Black soar

    • WENN Newsdesk
    • 05 Feb 2012

    Drew Barrymore's new whale rescue movie Big Miracle is a big flop, according to U.S. box office estimates. The movie, based on a real-life story, brought in a lowly £5.3 million during its opening weekend - almost £8.75 million behind newly-released hits The Woman in Black and Chronicle. Chronicle, which follows the exploits of a group of teenagers with superpowers, led the box office with £13.8 million and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's thriller The Woman in Black also...
