This movie is based on a true story, how much is true is another question. It feels like Hollowood took liberties with the creative license and filled in a lot of the slow moments, but it didn't make a difference. The movie is 100% family, no nudity, no bad language, no violence. It's good for that at least, but parts of the movie are frustrating.

Plot summary
"Papa" Omar runs Casa Hogar orphanage in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A cop brings Moco, a street kid who just stole a watch belonging to sport fishing boat captain Wade Malloy/Dennis Quaid. Offering the kid food and shelter, Omar gets the watch and they return it to Wade. Omar is low on money with unanswered letters and calls from the bank and it gets worse when Hurricane Odile hits town and Casa Hogar. However, the hurricane has scared away international Bisbee Black and Blue Fishing Tournament participants and it's now free for local fishermen. Two time winner albeit presently washed-up, American Wade is forced to take Casa Hogar as crew to qualify for the 2014 3 day tournament. If they win the tournament, their share of the prize money would save Casa Hogar from the bank's 30 day ultimatum. Omar joins with 3 Casa Hogar boys and Moco. Will they catch the winning marlin?

Cute inspiring film
3 out of 5 stars.
Cute film. About a guy trying to raise money for an orphanage through a fishing tournament. Decent cast. Good story.
Dennis the Miracle
To be able to make a movie work ... a movie like this that is, you have to have a miracle worker - no pun intended. And having Dennis Quaid who is able to play the grumpy almost completely dislikeable guy ... well you win already, because we know he can pull it off.
While he is not the hero of the story (or maybe he is for you),he is the one who seems to learn and change the most. And all that because our main characters are able to help him along (again no pun intended or in more than one way). This is a movie about goodness, about kindness, about survival and about life in general.
