Nim's Island: Normally, when you hear "a movie the entire family will enjoy" you think - kids' movie or even chick movie. Nim's Island really is a movie that everyone will enjoy - if they don't...you should consider why you are friends with them!
The tag line for this movie is "Be the hero of your own story" and that is very true!
The title character is played by Abigail Breslin (brilliant in Little Miss Sunshine) as a child raised on a tropical island with her marine biologist father (played by the ultra-hunky Gerard Butler) . They love the fact they live away from the world and can enjoy their island. A series of events leaves Nim alone on the island with invaders on their way and her only way to communicate is through the internet. She receives an email (on her shared email account with her father) addressed to her father from the famous adventure author Alex Rover. Nim is a huge fan and is happy to answer questions from the author about research for the next book.
Adventure ensues for Nim, Dad and Alex Rover. And without revealing to much it has enough adventure, romance and kid appeal that, really, the entire family or an adult looking for a good movie can enjoy.
You will be surprised and delighted by the cast and how the story comes together and ends.
I put this one up there with The Last Mimzy as surprisingly wonderful and and leaving the viewer feeling warm inside - that lasts for days.
MMMMM (out of 5 M's)
