Why must people continue to put Drew Barrymore in movies? She can't act, she has one facial expression, and when she "cries" I have an easier time believing that some squirted lemon juice in her face. Yet, I don't hate a lot of films she's in. "Big Miracle" was one of those films, despite Barrymore trying her hardest to ruin it. The supporting cast had so much depth and talent, and the script was mildly conventional, but not overly cheesy. Director Ken Kwapis, who has had a few missteps in his career, knows how to capture wonderfully tender moments without the slightest hint of irony (look at the "One Little Star" sequence from "Follow That Bird"). I wouldn't rush out to see this, but it was definitely not a waste of time.
