Review of Extraordinary Measures (2010) by Pia K — 27 May 2015

This movie is really dissapointing.

First of all, this movie is extraordinarily clichèd. Now they think they can just put in a movie that is "emotional" and expect a miracle and money. Not with this. They try to hard to try to get you to cry, or at least be emotional. It's almost laughable as they (once again) think they can make an emotional movie and have everyone like it. Guess what, it doesn't work.

Secondly, it's boring. There's just pointless scenes to try to extend the movie longer and longer. Megan and Patrick make brief appearances in the movie, and they are the ones the movie is about! By the middle, you forget about the disease, and it's almost like they don't want you to care about the disease. But if that's what they intended on doing, they did a good job.

Lastly, it doesmt feel like a movie. Just random scenes, the wanna-be emotional scenes, and has that hallmark channel original feel to it.

Overall, this movie missed what should've been an easy opportunity to showcase Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford. Boring, unnecessary, and tries to be emotional, this movie misses in every way possible.
