Anything can happen on Nim's Island, a magical place ruled by a young girl's imagination. It is an existence that mirrors that of her favorite literary character, Alex Rover - the world's greatest adventurer. But Alexandra, the author of the Rover books, leads a reclusive life in the big city. When Nim's father goes missing from their island, a twist of fate brings her together with Alexandra. Now they must draw courage from their fictional hero, Alex Rover, and find strength in one another to conquer Nim's Island. Written by Anonymous I have to say I enjoyed this movie very much! It is a movie of magic and surprises, it is a movie of secrets and bravery, it is a movie of love and friendship. If you are one of those parents who don't let their children watch TV because they are afraid that the TV is bad influence on them, then please, please take them to see this movie. It is such a wonderful experience in the movie theater to hear the noises and laughs of all the children. It was nice to walk out and hear all their comments on the movie. In spite of its faults, the story is compelling enough that you really care about all the characters, you get drawn into what's happening with them, and I promise you will find yourself laughing out loud as you watch.
Criticism: This movie is definitely a kids' movie, but it is enjoyable for us adults who have forgotten how to use our imaginations. It is also obvious that this is not a movie made for the Oscars. The movie script is pretty atrocious--so much so that I couldn't really enjoy Gerard Butler's and Abigail Breslin's acting all that much, even though they are both excellent actors. The story itself is a fantastic idea, but the dialogue was often flat and there are gaping holes in the story. However, Jodie Foster saved this movie with her brilliant portrayal of a phobic recluse. Nim's Island is yet another example of how Jodie can do 100% in comedies, too.
