Summary: No man is an island... no kid is, either.
Comment: What a twee bit of carp. Yes, carp. The wide-eyed over-acting little girl was just a total kill on this movie. And the timing was a mess - the connectivity between characters a mess. Not even a kids movie - it's just a complete frog-in-a-blender mess.

Summary: Nim's Island is for everyone!
Comment: When I took my grandchildren to see Nim's Island, I was not expecting very much. But I was mistaken. This is an EXCELLENT MOVIE for the entire family. It is kind of a Swiss Family Robinson meets Mysterious Island meeting Robinson Cursoe. Just take my word for it and enjoy yourself.

Summary: Cute little family film
Comment: I have to admit that Abigail Breslin is one of the cutest little actresses alive, and now we get her appearance in "Nim's Island." But I would say this..."Nim's Island" seems to be off the edge like a made for television special that you get to see on ABC.
"Nim's Island" is a sweet and charming little movie - mostly made for younger audience. Produced by Fox/Walden, the guys who gave us the previous "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," "Nim's Island" tells the story of a young little girl named Nim (Abigail Breslin) who is left alone on a tropical island after her father is stranded on his boat at sea.
Nim reaches out to her favorite author, Alex Rover (Jodie Foster). Unfortunately for Alex, she is this remarkable lady whose afraid of going outside and just staying inside for three weeks. She then embarks on a journey out at sea to help the poor little lonely girl.
I have to admit that I had a bit of fun with "Nim's Island." It's not the best family film or the most brilliant story you can ever imagine, but it's still a nice, little family film. Sure, Abigail Breslin takes all the charm in the movie for the younger audience, and yes, she doesn't have too much for the older crowd, but the older crowd leads up to Jodie Foster.
The biggest mench in the movie is perhaps Gerard Butler. He at least shines throughout the whole film and he has his alter ego experience that you can ever see him shake in his emotions yet. He was at least a bit more pleasant in this one than in "P.S. I Love You."
Overall, "Nim's Island" is the average you can expect in the taste for a children's family fantasy film. You should at least see it with the child's imagination and still have a fun with it as an adult. But adults shouldn't get too hooked on this type of family film, because what do you expect...it's children's film.
