Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!
This looks like a truly astounding movie! Inspired by the true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and an animal-loving volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle.
Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can’t wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she’s also his ex-girlfriend.
With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.
Big Miracle is rated PG and looks like it’s sure to please the whole family!

This movie was originally going to be called “Everybody Loves Whales” and they filmed it in and around Anchorage, AK the summer before we moved back down to the lower 48. Funny little bit of trivia for you, we were selling our extra “garage” fridge (you know the one you put beer and pop in) on Craig’s List and I got a phone call from someone from the prop department wanting to buy our 80’s gold fridge for the movie. We’ve been waiting to see “our” fridge in the movie ;-)
