t was something of a "big miracle," the way the plight of a family of gray whales, stranded under the Alaska ice, captivated the country and forced oilmen and environmentalists, natives and Cold War foes to team up back in the waning days of the Reagan administration.
And it's no small miracle that the story of that nearly forgotten moment makes for a delightful family movie. Political cynicism, media opportunism, dogmatic native "tradition," corporate greed and environmentalist stubbornness are each, in turn, dashed against this sunny Ken Kwapis ( License to Wed) confection.
