Nim's Island was surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but it turned out to be one of the better movies of the year. I was impressed. Good family movie, or for whenever you're not in the mood for adult/suspense fare.

My youngest had her tonsils out this week and I bought a bunch of DVD's to keep her occupied in recovery. My wife and I watched "Nim's Island" with her yesterday and we (my wife and I) really liked it. My almost 14 year old was less impressed. She wanted an adventure to rescue "Jack" and was disappointed that his rescue ended up as merely metaphorical. Go figure.
So here's the deal, "Nim's Island" is a cute family film, but it is a bit silly and probably best viewed by tweeners and their parents. I'll give it to my oldest Granddaughter and see what she thinks. For my part Kudos go to Jodie Foster for making a (pretty good) movie that kids can watch, and parents won't hate.

Loved the movie and was reminded a lot of "Romancing the Stone." If you liked that movie you'll like this one. A great romantic story with a lot of imagination and excitement tossed in.

I received my dvd in very good time, it was in good condition when it came. The movie was not what I expected, but light and fun.
