Extraordinary Measures
Courage and determination push idealistic father, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser, The Mummy) into joining forces with reclusive medical researcher, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Academy Award nominee Harrison Ford, Best Actor in a leading role, Witness, 1985). Together, this unlikely pair face impossible odds as they battle the entire medical establishment and time itself to find a cure before it's too late.
Also starring Golden Globe winner Kerri Russell, Extraordinary Measures is a true story of the power of love and faith against impossible odds. Inspired by the book The Cure by Pulitzer Prize Winning Writer Greeta Anand.

Watched this film and there wasn't much to remember it by. It was just a film that you will forget. It had quite a big cast but lack of character and story to sustain it. I would suggest skipping it. If you like Harrison Ford, you probably wouldn't want to watch this film.EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES - pat634
THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE....THE WHOLE STORYLINE OF COURAGE, ADVERSITY, LOVE,AND THE LEAP OF FAITH THAT IS REQUIRED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN EFFECT CHANGE IS PHENOMENAL. HARRISON FORD AND BRENDAN FRASER.... A VERY GOOD PAIRING. THE CHILDREN ARE INCREDIBLE.
OVERALL, I VERY MUCH ENJOYED IT.Truly Inspiring - mom23kids
It's amazing the lengths that some parents will go to for the sake of their children. The real life story behind this movie is inspiring. Casting did a pretty good job with the actors in this movie. Harrison Ford is wonderful as the eccentric genius. For Brenden Fraser this is a much better role than others he has played in the past (the Mummy movies etc.) Keri Russell is tough, loving and believable as a mom. I would recommend this movie easily, especially if you are a parent... things could always be worse, and this movie is a definite reality check.
