It doesn’t look good for Harrison Ford’s Extraordinary Measures which is released today. In fact, scouring the Internet for reviews, I didn’t find one website which liked the movie.

Here’s what a few of them had to say about it…

Variety -
Doesn’t reach far beyond its smallscreen genotype as a disease-of-the-week telepic, despite the star power of Brendan Fraser as the desperate dad and Harrison Ford as an eccentric, ornery researcher.

The Hollywood Reporter -
It never rises above formula fare.

New York Times -
The storytelling and the visual style are rarely more than workmanlike, and the big scenes arrive punctually and are played with minimal nuance.

And my personal favourite from The Miami Herald -
Everything about this excruciatingly dull, talky film screams made-for-network-TV: The I’m-only-here-for-a-paycheck performances by famous actors; the Crate and Barrel catalog mise-en-scene; the syrupy, heartwarming score that lays the pathos on so thickly you gag on it.

I thought the trailer looked quite good. I’m still going to watch it.
