That was an excellent one.
It is a performances centric movie
i must have seen a different film!!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
With the premise that the film would not see a second time, I recognize that I liked. On TV there is a well cared-for script: in the sense that, the details that would have weakened interest of the film, was meticulously written. Obviously the story taken from a novel by Wendy Orr: in the context is something unreal, that to get a follow-up and a final in harmony with the three main protagonists. The plot of the film could have been a tragedy. A shipwreck that would have to pass the rest of the life of a father and his daughter as a hermit. [...] However, as it happens in novels, the scientist and his daughter in a surreal way and electronically they have contact of a volcanoes-writer. So they can be saved, and find a new family love.
Released in 2008, "Nim's Island" stars Abigail Breslin as the 11 year-old title character who's alone on a remote pacific island while her Dad (Gerard Butler) is late coming back from an expedition. Nim emails a reclusive popular adventure writer (Jodi Foster) in San Francisco for help.I'm a sucker for island movies and this one's quite good but, for me, it's hindered by its "children's adventure/fantasy" approach. I'm talking about the Disney-esque animal shenanigans. Apart from that, however, everything clicks for a fun island adventure. While kid-oriented, there's enough here for adults to enjoy, particularly for those who are in tune with their inner-kid. It was a modest hit when released.The movie runs 96 minutes and was shot in Australia.GRADE: Borderline B or B- (6.5/10 Stars)

How anybody can call this movie bland and forgettable is beyond me. It is absolute magic. First of all, I think it is the funniest performance by Jodi Foster EVER. Her every line, her every delivery is so funny, she should win an award for this. Abigail is simply priceless and Gerard Butler is so perfect for kids' movies. I am 39, my son is 6 and my mother is 61, and we all love it. The music is outstanding, the visuals are amazing, the sound effects, the humor... so the lizard attack, and Nim accidentally setting off a volcano and looking at it and saying "whoa, did I do that?" is forgettable? Please. Enjoy this film. I know I always do.
