By-the-book dialogue and lame performances do the film no favours but, hey, worse things happen at sea.
Stephen Whitty
There's something refreshing about a kids' movie that manages to get through its entire length without a poop joke.
Leah Rozen
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.
Rafer Guzman
"Big Miracle" might be subtitled, "How Hollywood Turned a Real Story Into Bogus Fiction."
Liam Lacey
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.
Lou Lumenick
"Big Miracle" shouldn't really work, but it does.

Cold War-era bonding over whales? It would sound utterly absurd if it weren't based on fact. And that's part of what makes this movie fun for adults.

I you have liked dolphin tale... I cannot believe someone actually gave that movie one star. Great family flick. If you have like dolphin tale, you will like big miracle. It is also based on a true story. It is good to see humans coming together to help defenseless creatures. Big miracle is a great insightful movie. Watch it today.

Big Miracle The absolute best Whale saving moving movie I have ever seen in my life ,the whole family loved it. It made me cry when she went in that ice'y water to see if the baby whale was o.k. or , not. She could have died herself . I'm not telling you any more you will just have to watch and find out; start watching.
I love this movie I cried in the part where they said bam bam was dead very touching!!!!!!!! I love it well done!!!!!!!!!
:'( :') This one was tough for me as it us a tale very near to my heart! It was well represented and accurately depicted. PLEASE if you do watch this.. Watch it, be entertained BUT ALSO try and be just a little more sympathetic, dare i say empathetic to all which is beyond mere humanity. Thank you, i do apologize for the melodrama SINCERLY JEFFREY A. 'LOVITS '
Drew and John, Great show. Was sorry to see the younger whale did not make it, after all of that? Thanks for identifying real life, these things can happen, in that race it's survival of the fittest, the young whale had been sick. Both parents making the final journey allows for more sibblings to return back in time.

Worse, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has appointed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge.

Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.
