Reviews


75
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
Kwapis fills small roles with great character actors like Stephen Root, Andrew Daly, Kathy Baker, Tim Blake Nelson, John Michael Higgins, Rob Riggle, and James LeGros, all skilled at making a lot out of a little.
75
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Joe Williams
Rounded, redemptive and refreshingly free of cynicism.
75
Miami Herald - Rene Rodriguez
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.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
It's the affable cast, headed by Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski, that really makes the picture so widely accessible.
70
Variety - Justin Chang
This family-friendly outing captures the story's human snowball effect with a measure of sly, satirical wit, if also an excess of boilerplate subplots and jokey '80s details.
