Product Description:
Nim Rusoe (Abigail Breslin) lives on a deserted island with her scientist father Jack (Gerard Butler) and her best friends: Selkie, a sea lion; Fred, a bearded dragon lizard; and Galileo, a plucky pelican. But when Jack goes missing at sea and the island is "invaded," Nim reaches out via e-mail to the adventurous author (Jodie Foster) of her favorite books, and together, each discovers what it takes to truly become the hero of your own life story.
From Amazon.com:
Adventure doesn't always begin with pirates on the high seas or explorers deep in the desert; sometimes it starts with an idyllic life on a private island in the middle of the South Asiatic Sea. For 11-year old Nim (Abigail Breslin) and her father and microbiologist Jack Russo (Gerard Butler), life is perfect thanks to their love of nature, Jack's mechanical ingenuity, and regular deliveries via supply ship. Loneliness is never an issue for Nim because of her special friendships with Selkie the sea lion, Galileo the pelican, and Freddie the iguana and her education is intensive, if rather unique. Adventure and imagination are ways of life for Nim whether she's heading out to sea to help her father collect plankton specimens, playing soccer on the beach with Selkie, or delving into the latest Alex Rover adventure novel, but everything changes when Jack departs on the boat for a two-night expedition to collect plankton specimens and gets caught in an unexpected storm. Alone on the island, Nim begins to worry about her father's safety as well as her own and, through a chance email, connects with Alex Rover (Jodie Foster) whom she begs to come help find her father. Problem is, author Alexandra Rover is an unbalanced big city shut-in who's afraid to leave her townhouse, not the fearless adventure hero portrayed in her books. Nim, Alexandra, and Jack embark upon the adventures of a lifetime in which each must overcome his or her own fears and perceived powerlessness and limitations in order to grow and help one another. The question is; can each prevail against his or her own insecurities and the fury of nature? Based on the novel Nim's Island by Wendy Orr, Nim's Island is first and foremost a captivating adventure full of suspense and peril which also offers a touching look at the love between a father and daughter. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Nim's Island DVD Review

This is an enjoyable movie for the entire family.
Jodie Foster is a talent apart she makes you believe that she is the writer of adventure novels who's scared to leave her apartment and only eats progress soup.
Abigail Breslin is the perfect pick for the fun loving Nim.
I don't want to give away the movie but is fun and has a happy ending
This is a clean movie without sex, language, or vulgar innuendos. Could be a little scary for younger children (Nim is alone in a storm), but not a dark movie.
So if you're looking for something fun, uplifting and a lil silly for the family to enjoy this is your movie :)

Nim's Island DVD Review

I borrowed a copy of NIM'S ISLAND from the library and brought it home not really expecting much: child actors/actresses don't do much for me and I've never been a big Jodie Foster fan. What a surprise I got! I loved this movie. It was good clean family entertainment that did not play down to kids. It was believeable, well-acted, enchanting ... and I could be stuck on s desert island with Gerard Butler for a LONG time and be very happy. Give it a try: I think you'll enjoy it.
