Drama, 2010 (Rated PG)
Brendan Frasier stars as John Crowley the father to two children with a rare and deadly disease called Pompei. He feels helpless as he watches his two children become sicker and sicker until one day he decides to take matters in his hand. He contacts a brilliant rough around the edges scientist (Ford) and teams up with him in a next to impossible attempt to get his research off the ground and into the labs so that a new drug can be developed that might save his children. There are so many ups and downs along the way. Is there time to save his children's lives?
- Ford is excellent as a hard nosed, rude, and quite impossible to get along with scientist. As brilliant as he is he is hopeless at working with others and as the movie goes on I grow to sort of hate him and wish I could reach through the TV myself and give him a kick in the head.
- This is based on a true story and you can't do anything else but root hard for John Crowley as he seriously does everything that is humanly possible to save his children.
- Great story, great acting, great movie.
