Nim's Island (2008)

Nim's Island is one of those movies that's a minor work in the careers of those involved, but a very pleasing diversion nonetheless. Part Little Mermaid, part Home Alone, and part Romancing the Stone, the film establishes a delightful storybook universe in which a marine biologist and his daughter live on a lush island with no other inhabitants, where they subsist on who-knows-what, and commune with the marine life and waterfowl. That this never seems strange is an indication of how Nim's Island floods you with its charm straight away. Gerard Butler and Abigail Breslin are extremely well cast in these roles; in fact, this stands out as Butler's most likeable work in the string of bad action movies and romantic comedies that followed 300. And if you want someone to defend an island against an invading horde of vulgar tourists, you couldn't find a better choice than the plucky Breslin, who always brings a maturity of craftsmanship that defies her age. But the funniest presence here is Jodie Foster, playing an agoraphobic novelist who writes about the adventurer Alex Rover (also played by Butler), who is also, not coincidentally, her namesake (she's Alexandra Rover).

It's tremendous fun to see the often-serious Foster cut loose in a flat-out comedic role, hyperventilating her way across the globe as she clings to her favorite soup as the only acceptable form of sustenance. Part of what makes Nim's Island feel so fully realized is that they didn't scrimp on the special effects for a modestly budgeted kids movie, adapted from the popular book by Wendy Orr. The marine-life characters – a sea lion, a turtle, a pelican, and a lizard – are flawless digital creations. Mixed in with all this fun is a nourishing message about conquering your fears. Nim's Island is a winner.

Nim's Island (2008)

"Nim's Island" is a combination of "Robinson Crusoe" and "Home Alone," if you can envision the stranded party as a preteen girl who has the survival skills of someone twice her age. Nim's aquatic adventures and those on land provide the majority of thrills in this exhilarating and enchanting family picture. It's the best I've seen this year and highly recommended for girls and for boys, too.

The movie's endearing qualities are enhanced by a cast raring to go: Abigail Breslin, whose athletic shape as Nim may surprise "Little Miss Sunshine" fans; Jodie Foster as Alexandra Rover, the author of Nim's favorite adventure books; and Gerard Butler, doing double duty as Nim's loving dad, Jack, and Alex Rover, the adventure hero Miss Rover created.
Excerpt from Ruthe Stein, at the San Francisco Chronicle
Nim's Island (2008)

While on holidays I managed to see this movie and I was pleasantly surprised. I have never liked Breslin but she is at her best in this movie and Jodie Foster will always be the magnificent Jodie Foster. Gerard Butler was also very funny and had me cracking up which is something a family movie has not made me do in a while. The story is good and witty and the movie is very family friendly. I think older teens would be bored because although I enjoyed it the story was a bit predictable at times. Overall I was very happy with the movie and would recommend it first and foremost as a family movies. Kids will love it and adults will be thoughtful enough to enjoy it.
