Review of Nim's Island (2008) by Joe Neumaier for New York Daily News — 23 Aug 2015
Foster seems to be having real fun, twitching and skittering around, that steel jaw of hers comically tense. But this family movie shouldn't be about a shut-in trying to get from A to B; it needs to be about an unconventional girl growing up and helping an equally unconventional grownup cut loose on a volcanic island.
Sadly, Nim's Island is a missed opportunity.
