A Portland couple have two children with Pompe disease, a genetic anomaly that kills most before a child's tenth birthday. The husband, John, an advertising executive, contacts Robert Stonehill, a researcher in Nebraska who has done innovative research for an enzyme treatment. He has little money to fund his laboratory, and a thorny personality that drives away colleagues and funders. John and his wife Aileen raise money to help Stonehill's research and the required clinical trials. John takes on the task full time, working with venture capitalists and then rival teams of researchers. Time is running short, Stonehill's angry outburst hinder the company's faith in him, and the profit motive may upend John's hopes. The researchers race against time for the children who have the disease.
This is not a bad movie or anything, don't get me wrong. It's just rather lackluster and really lacked the oomph to make it something special.
I appreciate the fact that it is based on a true story, but I was left feeling drained, and depressed when all was said and done. Harrison Ford's performance was definitely the highlight of the movie for me.
I relished every chance the man was on-screen. The kids are surprisingly likable and witty, but Ford and Fraser's chemistry leaves much to be desired.
For my liking, it all seemed quickly put together, with only the actor's obvious passion for their parts making it rise above it all. The story has all the potential in the world, it has the right cast, but it is often padded with too much drama, and a lot of dull interaction and dialog for my liking. The ending is fitting and very heartfelt, but by the time it was over, I had really stopped caring. Pompe disease is a sad thing for children, and very heartbreaking to witness.
Brendan Fraser is decent, but that's it. He's effective in some scenes, while looking lost in others. I enjoy a lot of his work, but this performance is glaring with inconsistency. Harrison Ford is excellent in his role. His intensity and humor worked well with his part, and I loved every moment he had on-screen. Keri Russell is good, but her role is rather underdeveloped for my liking. Meredith Droeger is wonderful as Megan.
She's likable and clearly has talent for a kid. It's not a worthless film, but it's not as good as it could have been. It's worth a look though, and it'll make you appreciate your life a little bit. Just could have done without some stuff.
