Am I the only one that thought this movie by Walden Media (producers of The Chronicles of Narnia) was terrific? Well, I know I’m not the *only* one. Russ, Levi, and Luke thought it was terrific, too.
Things to love: Nim begins the movie narration by saying that she is homeschooled (well, island schooled), her father is played by Gerard Butler, Gerard Butler also plays the part of adventure hero Alex Rover, Gerard Butler… well, maybe I should stop there. How about action and adventure. A spunky little girl, a quirky writer, a dad who is resourceful, determined, and loving.
I can’t say that there were many surprises in this movie once it got started, but it is fun, fresh, and entertaining for the whole family. And that is hard to come by these days! Two (eight? ten?) thumbs up from our family.
