Blue Miracle

A real inspirational story and emotional film of a family of orphans.

Hallmark movieish dramatization of the true life story of the saving of a rundown orphanage in Cabo San Lucas, when some of the orphans and their caretaker team up with a reluctant, washed up boat Captain, getting by on his fading reputation as the only two time winner of a prestigious fishing tournament. (except, rut roh Shaggy, there was some shenanigan's during the second "win") The orphanage owner has some past trauma as far as boats and fishing goes, adding to the dramatics, as well as the clichéd "evil" bank threatening to foreclose on the orphanage, and temptations from (former) thuggish associates trying to drag him back into his old life "for the kids". Overly cute (little) kids in the movie look nothing like the actual late teenaged boys that won the real tournament. The boat they won on was NOT a run down piece of junk, nor was the Captain, but then, hey "artistic license", er manipulation, for dramatics sake, right? Still, a nice positive story, for a change of pace. OK for a lazy afternoon or evening watch when you feel in need of a bit of inspiration.
