I watched a movie on the Hallmark Channel last night it was called “Expecting A Miracle”. It stars Teri Polo, Jason Priestley, and Cheech Marin. It is about a married couple named Pete and Donna. They are struggling with infertility. They have just gone though three cycles of in vitro fertilization and their doctor told them the treatment will probably not work for them. Their marriage is on the rocks. Pete does not want to adopt a baby or continue fertility treatments. Pete who is an engineer, then starts staying very late at work. His boss tells him to take his wife on a vacation to Mexico. They drive their Escalade to Mexico but run off the road while avoiding to hit a dog. They end up in a small town. Pepio who is a young boy with a hurt leg meets Pete and takes him to his brother Juan who is a mechanic. Juan says that it will take him awhile to fix the car because he is busy helping Pepio get ready to fly for the fiesta. Pete decides to help put together the contraption that will help him fly so Juan can work on his car. Cheech Marin plays a priest that also is putting together the contraption. Donna meets Juan’s wife and goes to help the children make cookies. She enjoys helping out. The couple have to stay at the hotel because Juan cannot get the part. They test out the machine with a pig but the machine breaks and Pepio is heart broken. He believes that he will be healed if he can fly. Pete works with the town’s men to fix the contraption and Pepio does fly. He falls and hits his body and magically he can walk again. After this Pete decides to adopt a baby with Donna. At the end of the movie Donna becomes pregnant and they are expecting a miracle. This movie actually deals with an issue that many couples face. I thought it was a good movie.
