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.

A Favorite - Rating: 5/5
This is one of my favorite movies. I viewed it at the theater when it was first released and ordered it when it was released on DVD. It's a wonderful family movie with lots of laughs and beautiful scenery.
We all loved it!! - Rating: 5/5
I saw Nim's Island today with my 3 1/2 year old daughter and a friend of mine and her 6 year old daughter. We all loved it. It was very entertaining for all of us. At first I thought it might be a bit too mature for my 3 yr. old, but she sat through the whole movie and was very interested the whole time.
Delightful family film - Rating: 5/5
This movie was a delight to see! Courage, triumphing over fears, doing the impossible, using your imagination...these are all things that make a children's movie worth watching. Everyone in the family enjoyed this one, and I can't stress enough how much I loved this movie. Sure, the thought of leaving my child (at Nim's age) alone on an island, even for a few days, seems to me like something I wouldn't do, no matter how my precocious darling begged, however, for a rich, imagination filled film meant to teach children that they can accomplish great things, it works! It's a fun, Indiana Jones type movie for little kids, and who wouldn't enjoy that?
ANother 4 star for Nims Island - how'd I miss this one before? :) - Rating: 4/5
This is a great movie with excellent acting! The kids loved it. Parents loved it. There are already great reviews out there...I just wanted to add my vote for this great DVD.
Nim's Island - Rating: 5/5
I really enjoyed this heartwarming story and I especially enjoyed the different roles played by Gerard Butler and Jodi Foster. It was refreshing to see a non-violent movie that left you feeling good.
