Musings of a Virgin

Synopsis: Nim (Breslin) is a young girl who imagines an island to be magical, basing its mystic nature on the experiences of her favorite fictional character, Alex Rover (Butler). When Nim's father (also played by Butler) goes missing on the island, Nim teams up with Alexandra (Foster), the author of the Alex Rover books and Rover himself, to save her father.[1]

I was pretty excited about Nim's Island, it looked like a fun show and had 2 of my fave actors, Jodie Foster and Gerald Butler.

I'm very happy to report that the show lived up to my expectations. There's a lot to like about the movie. A lot of my problems with the show had to do with some "unbelievable" story arcs like the ... very smart pelican. But when you consider that this movie was written for a younger audience, its forgivable.

I truly think that this is an excellent family movie and I think both my niece and nephew will love it. I highly recommend it for those looking for a fun whimsical adventure movie.

Overall Rating : 4.5/5
