Critics consensus

“Big Miracle uses real-life events as the basis for a surprisingly satisfying family drama.”

Ponderously sincere but it does tell a good story.

Peter Bradshaw

RTGuardianFeb 9, 2012

It is a laborious, sentimental drama featuring a self-parodic performance from Drew Barrymore, based on a TV news event that briefly gripped the US in 1988.

Much better than the poster or trailer suggests.

RTKeith & the MoviesAug 19, 2022

Throw in the cheesy dialogue, boring caricatures, and uneven direction and you have a movie that fails to execute even with the good story it has to work with.
