Extraordinary Measures

11 March 2010

Last night, I was faced with a decision. I had 2 movies to choose from and, after some contemplation, decided to pass on Twilight: New Moon (apologies to the 14 year old girls in my readership). Instead, we went forExtraordinary Measures.


The movie, based on a true story, was about the Crownley family and an underfunded scientist. The family had 2 children born with Pompe, a progressive and (at the time) fatal disease. Their future was looking bleak with no drug currently available. The movie follows the research and scientists responsible for ultimately designing a drug for this disease.


I found the movie quite inspiring. If you feel like you’re losing your ‘oomph’ or passion for your work, this is a great movie to watch.


Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
