Nim's Island (2008)
3/10
Trite and whiny
24 April 2008
Now granted, this wasn't a movie I wanted to see, just a movie I saw whilst spending time with my best friend and her (kindergarten aged) son. Not to say its a horrid waste of time, but if you are over the age of oh, 12 or so and don't have a youngling to tag along...don't bother. It'll be on HBO soon enough. I didn't care for Breslin's character and spent most of the movie with my palm itching (to smack Nim's bratty face off, that is). I will say that this movie raised my opinion of Jodie Foster considerably, her soup mad agoraphobic writer was excellent. Gerard Butler was marvelous, as usual, and the pair of them more or less carried the movie. (Watch your back, Harrison)
