That said, the cast works well together, and they make Blue Miracle shine. The story is straightforward and fairly paint by numbers. But, true to form for the genre, once out on the open ocean, unexpected friendships are created, and strengths are tested. Molloy is a gruff curmudgeon of a fisherman who is fighting his own challenges. But Molloy isn’t happy-go-lucky and at the top of his game nope. But through a little luck and unfortunate events, Casa Hogar teams up with the reluctant Captain Wade Malloy (Dennis Quaid), a previous two-time tournament champion, hoping he can steer them to victory. Second, neither he nor his boys have ever fished before. First, despite being in Mexico, no Mexican team has ever won the tournament. Now there are a few issues with this plan. But with all avenues closed, he turns to a local fishing tournament with hopes of a miracle. On the edge of bankruptcy, Omar is desperate to find a way to save the orphanage, and in doing so, keep the boys he’s raising as his own safe and off the streets. After a devastating storm, Jimmy and his wife are stuck under a mountain of debt and then repair costs. Inspired by a true story, Blue Miracle centers on Casa Hogar, an orphanage in Cavo San Lucas, Mexico, run by Omar (Jimmy Gonzales)-Papa Omar to the kids he takes care of. The film stars Jimmy Gonzales, Anthony Gonzalez, Raymond Cruz, Nathan Arenas, Miguel Angel Garcia, Isaac Arellanes, and Steve Gutierrez. Instead, Netflix Original Blue Miracle is a drama about finding family and the resiliency that forms by coming out of the harshest circumstances.ĭirected by Julio Quintana, Blue Miracle is written by Quintana and Chris Dowling. Thankfully though, I was completely wrong, and while Quaid plays a part in the movie, he isn’t anyone’s savior. With Dennis Quaid holding the spotlight in the promotional images, I was worried that Blue Miracle would be the same. Most of the time, they feature a cast of people from marginalized backgrounds and use one white character to save them. To be honest, I tend to avoid inspirational true stories.
