All but the die-hards would probably better enjoy the experience by waiting until the movie is playing in its general run and can be seen in relative comfort on a weeknight. ![]() Would I recommend braving the throngs of teens who will be packing multiplexes on a Saturday night for the benefit of seeing Miracle a week early? Depends on your tolerance for that sort of thing. It's not great art, but it's about as good as mass-market motion picture entertainment gets in the dead of winter. In this case, the short answer is "yes," especially if you have interest in (a) hockey, (b) the 1980 Winter Olympics, or (c) the "Miracle on Ice." Anyone not falling into one of the above categories will view this as a feel-good, underdog-triumphs sports story. Disney's Miracle doesn't arrive in theaters until next weekend, and I won't be posting my review until tomorrow or Monday, but, as often happens when there's a national sneak preview (as there is tonight), I get requests from curious movie-goers asking whether it's worth the effort. ![]()
