Nim's Island

Nim's Island

Who's in it: Abigail Breslin, Gerard Butler, Jodie Foster

What's it about: Nim(Breslin) and her father, Jack(Butler), live on a deserted island in the Pacific. Jack is a scientific researcher and leaves to the ocean for a project. While he's out to sea, he gets hit by a monsoon and doesn't come home. Nim begins to worry and emails her hero, Alex Rover(also Butler). Agoraphobic Alexandra Rover(Foster) is the novelist of the heroic adventures of her made up character Alex Rover. Alexandra gets Nim's email for help and then faces her fear to go and help her.

What I Think: I think that Abigail Breslin is slowly taking the place of child actress Dakota Fanning. She is a wonderful little actress and I love her and her talent. My favourite actor of all time is Gerard Butler, so I loved this movie for that fact. I was sad that he wasn't in it much, but glad that he was in it even a bit. Foster is amazing and I'm glad to know and witness the different talents that she has. It's great to see that she can do so the different characters that are thrown at her. Great family movie!
