Nim Rusoe is a girl who joins her father, a scientist, when he does research on marine life on an island. It's just the two of them but she spends her time making friends with all the animals she encounters, chatting on the computer and reading the adventure books of Alex Rover. When her father goes to do some research but when a storm strikes the island he doesn't come back, she gets worried and frightened. She then e-mails Alex Rover hoping that he will come but what she doesn't know is that Alex Rover is a woman who is agoraphobic and germaphobic. But her creation comes to life and eggs her to go. Unfortunately she has never gone anywhere before and is denied her necessities like her sanitary gel by the customs officer at the airport. In the meantime, Nim tries to be strong while waiting for Alex to arrive.
Leave your thoughts about Nim's Island.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)This Island is surrounded by warmth, suspense and good humor. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinExhilarating and enchanting family picture. It's the best I've seen this year and highly recommended for girls and for boys, too. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...an amalgamation of "Romancing the Stone" (writer leaves safe life to experience adventure), "Cloak & Dagger" (same actor portrays father and literary hero) and "Home Alone" (kid fends off adult home invaders). |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoI haven't felt this embarrassed for a star since Robert DeNiro donned a tutu and did the can-can in Stardust. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxSome nice scenery, an unexpectedly funny performance by Jodie Foster and a unflaggingly spunky Abigail Breslin make for above average family entertainment. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattIt's hard to imagine kids not enjoying the good-hearted, lovingly shot fantasy of it all, and Breslin is charming, though most viewers past puberty will likely yearn to be voted off the Island. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA more enjoyable saga of girl power than Breslin's highly touted followup vehicle, 'Kit Kittredge.' |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIf your kids have been totally weaned on ADD-addled animated flicks that mostly coast on crude humor and instantly dated pop culture references, then this clearly isn't the film for them. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansEven the kids in the audience will feel a bit insulted by the dumbed-down dialogue and a bit cheated by the bargain-basement special effects. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettIf you have a child, Nim's Island is the kind of film you won't be sorry you shared with him or especially her, and if you don't have a youngster, you'll wish you did. |
