    Nim's Island

    by 6y987

    This is one of the best "Family" movies we have seen in a long time. It was exciting to watch (never a dull moment) and it shared a great message for kids, which is "Never give up - always try". We all left feeling happy and motivated and wanting to see it again!

    Super family movie. My husband and I enjoyed this movie and will recommend it to others. I feel sorry for those who judged this movie poorly by just reading about it or watching the previews. They are missing a fine movie. Good story plot. This is one I will buy on DVD to watch again.

    Nim's Island rocks!

    by oberholtz

    I took my 10 year old daughter to see Nim's Island on a whim. It turned out to be the best young adult movie I have seen. the comedy was funny and Jody Foster brought pathos to it as well. the animal friends warmed mydaughter's heart and we really worried about the Dad making it back from his adventure. All in all, excellent!
