Young families will love sitting down together to watch this deli...ghtful children's film starring Abigail Breslin who scored a big hit in "Little Miss Sunshine". The (overly-complicated) story is about an 11-year-old girl (with cute animal pals, natch) who lives with her scientist Dad on a remote, uncharted island. Everything is fine until disasters strike and an agoraphobic children's writer (Jodie Foster), who is terrified of leaving her home at all, has to fly to the rescue.
fantastic film, my 3 year old and 8 year old have both watched ...it over and over, a great family film, i'll quite happily snuggle up with the kids to watch this one- especially if it means leaving the housework for an hour!!
great fun for both g...irls and boys alike.good action for the boys but also sentimentality. the characters are likeable and jodie foster's character is great fun.the story is slightly unbelievable but aren't most kids films!!! the whole family loved this one.
