Review of Nim's Island (2008) by Lisa Michelle A — 15 Jan 2010

I love Nim's Island. It's such a sweet film with a really lovely story and I really love it. Abigail Breslin is a great actress and always makes great films, my favorite of her's being Little Miss Sunshine. She played Nim perfectly and I loved Gerard Butler as her father. Jodie Foster was quite funny with her OCD and that she was scared of everything, but turned it all around to help Nim out. A funny film the whole family can enjoy over and over again.

The best lines (in no particular order):

Captain: "What on earth are you doing?".

Alex Rover: "I'm just having a nervous breakdown!".

Jack: "You got so much of your mother in you, you know that?".

Nim: "That's a good thing, right?".

Jack: "Yeah, good. Sure. Unfortunately I could never win a fight with her, either.".

Alexandra Rover: "I took a plane, I took a helicopter, I stole a boat!".

[last lines].

Nim: "The writer, and the scientist. That's how their story began. How it ends, exactly? Nobody knows.".
