Reviews

The A.V. Club -
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.

|
St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
Rounded, redemptive and refreshingly free of cynicism.
|
|
Miami Herald -
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.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
It's the affable cast, headed by Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski, that really makes the picture so widely accessible.
|
|
Variety -
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.
