Nim's Island

One of the best Family movies I've seen in years!  When young Nim, who lives with her father – scientist, on their very own south seas island – needs help because her father is missing and presumed lost at sea, she turn to her favorite adventure novelist for help. Alas, Alex is a writer, not an adventuresome type. In fact, Alex is a she, not the swashbuckling hero Nim expects, as well as a recluse who can barely go outside for the mail, let alone travel half way around the world for a stranger in need.  This is a marvelously acted, directed, written story. It's great fun for the whole family. Gerard Butler, Abigail Breslin, and Jodie Foster. I laughed out loud, I cried real tears. And, yes, 10 out of 5 stars!
