Nicholas T. @RT31153330 Nov 26 I’ll take this over Little Miss Sunshine and 300 any day. See more Wendy H. @wshuff 08/01/2025 Nice family movie. Great for families with children various ages, which isn’t often easy to find. See more Hayleigh P. @haytay.shows22 07/21/2025 I thought this was a silly kids movie by the cover but it was actually really good. I hate being on the beach but I want her lifestyle. But make the beach, a forest with like a pond/creek/stream. Perfect. Living in a tree houses with wifi/electricity and your friends are animals? YES A few things I didn’t like though was that, Alex Rover went half way across the world just fir the little girl to hate her, she never got to tell her dad that she scared a whole cruise ship of people off the island on her own, and Alex rover and the dad just ended up together..? Like. To leading plot to them getting together, nothing.

I also learned the magic of Purell hand sanitizer through this movie haha See more Jordan J @_Jordan_ 09/05/2022 Nims Island is a good film in its own right however it will only be better if they had done better in the writing stage. See more 07/09/2021 This family-friendly take on Robinson Crusoe is okay. Nothing special but it has good acting, likable characters, a decent plot and okay development. Plus, Jodie Foster's character's agoraphobia suddenly becomes less of a laughing matter after the new decade we're currently in at the time I'm writing this had us being welcomed by a global pandemic. All of a sudden, her staying at home for months and ordering an absurd amount of hand sanitisers comes off more as being properly paranoid. It is sadly lacking in adventure, there's some stuff with tourists where our heroine pulls glorified Home Alone antics on them that feels pointless save for one brief moment, the comedy isn't anything remarkable and there's a weird production choice where it's obvious whenever the real animals are swapped for CGI doubles which don't look very good, given that this film came out in 2008. I don't really have anything else to say about this movie. If anything, I feel like I was grasping at straws to make this review not last more than a simple, laconic sentence. Still one of the more watchable family movies that came out at the time. See more Read all reviews
