Movie Reviews of The Maldonado Miracle
Movie Review: BEST MOVIE EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the greatest most inspirational movies i have ever seen! it tells alot about the hardships of illegal immagrants which were shown by flashbacks. This particular story was about a 12 year old boy named Jose Maldonado Alvarez(Eddy Martin),along with his trusted dog Sanchez, who crossed the border of Mexico into the United States in search of his father, Hector Maldonado Alvarez, who sent him. Along the way he accidently causes a "miracle" in a dying town called San Ramos. The once nearly vacant town becomes crowded with visitors wanting to see the miracle. Jose must now confess.
I would encourage anyone who watches this movie, to read the book. The book (as it usually is) was better than the movie because the movie had an alternative ending, and the movie skipped a few important parts. All in all this movie was great. Thanks for reading my review!

Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I watch wide varieties of epic drama, humor, musical and far too many violent dramas like Braveheart! This simple but profound story based upon the 12 yr old Mexican lad is greatly contrasted with all the others yet soon reaches out to tug at the heart! Peter Fonda is the cooler counter-part for his sister Jane. Yet so keenly fitted as the low-key Catholic Priest and care-giver for young Jose` who slowly encounters a Helper for his dog and himself! I thought Ruben Blades and Mare Winningham were great drama fill-ins for contrasting their fascinating stories alongside the Latino flavor of Jose. What a wonderfully spinning out of this simple but beautiful ending surprisingly wrapped-up for Mystery. We were Awed with Salma Hayek as first-time Director! Another Big Plus for retiree Chaplain Fred W HoodMovie Review: What A Pleasant Surprise!

I just watched this tonight with a little trepidation,wondering if it was just another "Miracle Of Marcellino",which is another great movie,by the way,that also involves a Christ on A Cross. Imagine my surprise to find this is a completely different story,and yet so good I must own it as well. I was completely draw into the characters and the story,and I was also very happy with the music and songs,especially the song at the beginning and the one the boy Jose sings is beautiful. I am always delighted as a Christian to find an inoffensive movie that is not only "safe" viewing for the family,but high quality and great entertainment as well,as admittedly many movies with a Christian theme, such as the Left Behind ones are soooo bad! I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in this.Movie Review: Miraculous? Si!
Summary: 5 Stars
While I try to steer clear of movies involving an extremely heavy religious message, I do occasionally gamble on a positive message involving film That may have religious undertones. Maldonado Miracle is not only the latter, but is a true masterpiece of human drama. By the film's end, we see a far more pleasing miracle than the appearance of the blood on the Christ statue that sets the stage for most of the film. It is a miracle of how the boy is rewarded for his perserverance, and the wonderful element of what appears to be chance that makes it all happen. Everyone performs above expectation, especially the boy. If you need a pick me up movie with excellent acting and direction, Maldonado Miracle should be high on your list.Movie Review: What a wonderful movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfectly casted and directed, this story of hope and humanity is a must-see for those with faith and those without. I laughed, I cried-it was the most real and moving film I have seen in a long time. Anyone watching this film could see themselves and people they know acting and reacting as the characters do. Mare Winningham is brilliant, as always. Ruben Blades, as her hopeful suitor, is as real as it gets. Peter Fonda does another great turn as the somewhat disbelieving parish priest.These are characters that are like yourself and all the people you know. You will not be disappointed.
