Maintaining the viewer's sympathies throughout, Fraser makes for a believably swollen-eyed workaholic crusader...

Harrison likes to talk about how he's a team player and how everything he does is in the service of the story. His talk-show mantra is that, even though he's a star, he doesn't act like one. Maybe that was once the case. But not here. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Fraser's blandness makes for a deeply uninteresting fit with Ford's supposedly adorable grumpiness. Very ordinary. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Geography aside, Extraordinary Measures includes some memorable moments but doesn't live up to the stirring real-life story that inspired it. Full Review

Harrison Ford still retains enough of his old movie star magic to ramp up the electricity a bit when he's onscreen, but this only makes you want to see him do something that makes better use of his gifts. Brendan Fraser just seems to grow bigger over the Full Review

Product Description:

Inspired by an incredible true story, the CBS Films docudrama portrays one father's desperate quest to save his children from succumbing to a rare life-threatening genetic disorder. Working-class father John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) is finally on the fast track to corporate success when his two young children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with Pompe disease -- a condition that prevents the body from breaking down sugar. In time, it disables the heart and the muscles, ultimately resulting in death. With the support of his wife, Aileen (Keri Russell), John ditches his career and teams with unconventional specialist Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford) to found a bio-tech company and develop a cure in time to save the lives of Megan and Patrick. As Dr. Stonehill works tirelessly to prove the theories that made him the black sheep of the medical community, a powerful bond is forged between the two unlikely allies. Still, their greatest struggle is yet to come.
