 A really great family movie, 2008-09-14
There aren't many family films out there for the whole family anymore, but I think this one fills the bill nicely. Amanda Breslin does a wonderful job in this children's fantasy without being "cutesy" and Jody Foster and Gerard Butler (in two roles) take care of their parts without coming across as stupid, as adults often do in family movies. All parents have flaws, but they are portrayed more or less realistically here. The author of the book shows a real understanding of the family dynamic, and it carried through nicely. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a movie with some heart.
PS. I wish Jodie Foster would do more comedy-she's superb.
What a fantastic movie, 2008-09-14
Nim's Island was magical, hilarious and exciting. It's a perfect movie for kids and adults. I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but I loved it. Jodi Foster does a fantastic job. I highly recommend.

 Just Plain Awful, 2008-09-13
I enjoy kids movies and I like both Foster and Butler a lot. What the directors had these talented actors doing is nothing short of embarrassing. I simply cannot call what anyone did in this film acting, as it was so deplorable. Since I know Foster and Butler have done brilliant work in the past, I have to lay the blame at the feet of the directors. They had Foster mugging with unrealistic facial contortions better left to a circus. Butler fared a little better, but he, too, had some difficult moments.
The child playing Nim was simply forgettable.
The story had potential and could have been done well under other directors. The scenery was beautiful. However, even that couldn't save this uninspired mess.
Nim's Island Review, 2008-09-11
Nim's Island was purchased for my 5 year old granddaughter. She has watched it over and over again. I watch it with her when she comes to visit and I still enjoy seeing it. I highly recommend this movie.
 A Perfect Family Film!!!, 2008-09-09
This was a really good movie about a little girl named Nim who lives on an island with her dad. She starts reading adventure books about an explorer named Alex Rover. After her dad is lost at sea, Nim asks Alex to come help her. Little does she know, Alex is actually agoraphobic and a woman, played by Jodie Foster. Nim expects someone like Indiana Jones. Alex goes through a lot to get to the island. Will Nim ever see her dad again??? If you love adventure and comedy, you'll love NIM'S ISLAND!!!
