Nim’s Island

I didn’t know anything about Nim’s Island other than it was based on a children’s book of the same name and that Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler were in it.  It started out a little slow but it got interesting once Jodie Foster appeared.  It was the first time I have seen Jodie Foster in a non-serious role in a movie, if you don’t count Anna and the King.  Her quirky behavior made her really funny in this movie.  I think she is the main reason I enjoyed this movie.  Some parts of the movie seemed unrealistic but the movie was light and fun and highly entertaining.

About 49% of critics on RottenTomatoes  recommended Nim’s Island and I would give it a score of 7.5.
