Better for kids
"while i did enjoy it I felt that for the most part this is a kids movie. the overall plot teaches kids about being able to stand up for themselves when an adult is absent. which is a great message in itself. the only thing i found lacking was it didn't expand on Alex Rover's arrival on the Island. There was obvious disbelief and disappointment on Nim's part. Not to mention Jack's arrival back he just accepts her presence and the three of them become a sort of family. So a little disapointed there but kids will like it."
Awesome movie for the whole family !!!
"I loved it ! We had no idea what to expect after reading some of the negative reviews- but it's a fantastic movie ! It's funny for both parents and kids . The movie keeps a great pace- wasn't bored one time . Highly recommended ! A"
Feel good movie
"I needed a good laugh andf got it in spades. Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler had great chemistry and they were hilarious.Butler shows in his movies that he can be funny, dramatic, action hero, romantic, etc., I love him next to Hugh Jackman he is my favorite actor."
Jodie Foster Takes It
"Exhilarating and enchanting family picture."
Thought it would be better.
"I was really looking forward to seeing this movie and planned to take my 7 yr. old neice.I have to say after seeing it I will not be seeing it a second time with her after all. It was not a bad movie but not great either.I found myself bored a few times and Foster's character irritating. I am going threw health issues and wanted a nice,feel good movie.Thats hard to find these days.Im only 40 so I enjoy movies for the young and old.All I can say is the movie did not meet my expectations and believe me they where not that high.I dont think the movie would keep the interest of a child to be honest with you.I wished I had better things to say.Wait for the video."
The Best
"This movie is the best movie i have ever i will never doubt it i thought it would be horrable but is so funny and cute i think it is for all ages and it is a great family movie i cried once or twice but i still loved it.... im glad i saw "Nims Island"...Now you should go see it if you just read this you wont regret it."
Totally awesome movie.
"Very kid-friendly and a mild sense of humor."
before
"i cant wait to see this movie it sounds so interesting but when i first heared about it i thought it was for kids and i was like no i dont want to see this but when my cousin told me more about it i was like YEA THIS SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING LETS GO SEE IT TODAY!!!"
Ok movie
"The acting was very good, Jodie Foster, enough said. Story line was good. Great for kids, Ok for adults."
Great Family Film Fun, but...
"Great time for a family film. Laugh out loud antics and touching, sweet moments. Jodie Foster is great in an atypical role. Nice push for her. Having loved Abbigail Breslin in "Little Miss Sunshine" I was looking forward to seeing her in this. However, I have to say, she's the weakest link.First, it's an adventure film and the girl she plays grows up Swiss Family Robinson style. However Ms. Breslin moves like she's never played outside before. It's clear that a double is used in most (all?) of the action scenes and in "easy" ones, say, running down the beach, she looks awkward and unbelievable. The heavy tan was about the only thing that made her look like she fit in the tropical setting. SO, I wish they had cast an girl who actually is comfortable in the outdoors; it would have made the role much more believable."
It just ends.....needs more to the ending
"Could have been a great movie had Jodie Foster spent more than 5 min on the island before it ends! It's like they just gave up on developing a relationship between her and Nim. And then the movie just ends and your like ok so what is next......it needed more ending....it really ticked me off I wanted to see more...maybe there will be a sequel with them living on the island that would be a great movie especially more time to see the goreous Gerard Butler!!!!"
Please help me!
"Having not seen this movie yet, I am considering taking a little gir than we plan to adopt. She is 12, but a bit immature. Is there anything in this movie that might make it a bad idea? I thought the little girl might be an empowering hero based on the trailer. Am I okay in that idea? Any comments would help. Thanks!"
Snoozer
"This was a mildly entertaining movie but very slow moving. If you are looking for action or adventure, this one's not it!"
Cool Movie
""Nim's Island" is a unique little film with lot's of suspense. I found it odd that the little girl wouldn't feel isolated or lonely on that island without anyone her age. The lizard is too cute!"
Just wonderful!
"Was a joy to watch. Never knew Jodi Foster could be funny! I wish it had been longer. Actually I would have liked to have seen more of them " coming together" once you have seen it would understand by the ending what I mean by that. The previews makes it seem that Jodie's character alias "Alex Rover" comes to the island and saves her Father but its not about that, its the relationship she builds in a very short time with Nim the girl. Very sweet, clean (great kids movie) and adults will like it too."
Delightful Movie !!!
"I absolutely loved this movie. It was a fun adventure flick that was suitable for the whole family. It had a great story, beautiful scenery and wildlife, and lovable characters. It was heart-warming and funny too. It was a wonderful, feel-good movie. I definitely plan to buy the DVD when it comes out."
Jodie Foster is HOT!
"Jodie Foster is bangin' in this movie, in all her movies!!! She's the best!"
Enjoyable
"This was a very enjoyable film for everyone! Jodie Foster is my very favorite actor, and she is great in the film. The rest of the cast is very good. Abbigail Breslin is going to be a great actress. Gerard Butler is also great in a dual role. Beautiful locations! It's so nice to watch a movie every now and then when you know from the first frame that after the credits roll, you will feel all warm and fuzzy!"
Nim's Island
"Jodie Foster played a role I am not use to seeing her in but it was great..She was funny and I truly enjoyed the movie. Abigail made me cry and she truly is a talented actress and whqat can I say about Gerard Butler. He is truly my favorite actor and shows he can play any type of character. Nim's Island was great..a good clean movie, which we lack today. Excellent!!"
good family fun
"jodie foster was much funnier than i expected. the movie is clean, funny and a good story.. very refreshing and nice.. i hope there is more like this."
