Description
Based on the popular children's novel of the same name by Wendy Orr, this fine family film follows the adventures of Nim Rusoe (Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine), a spirited young girl who lives on a remote island with her scientist dad, Jack (300's Gerard Butler), and a host of animal companions, including an iguana, a sea lion, and a sea turtle. Nim's idyllic life gets shaken up, however, when her father goes missing while on an ocean outing. Seeking help to find Jack, Nim contacts her favorite literary hero, explorer Alex Rover (also played by Butler), who, in reality, is uptight—and distinctly unadventurous—author Alexa Rover (Jodie Foster). Against her better judgment, Alexa journeys to Nim's faraway home, setting a series of thrilling and funny moments in motion. It's a crowd-pleaser of a film, but it's also a a welcome departure for Foster, who is known for far more serious fare. Special features include deleted scenes, audio commentary, featurettes, and much, much more.
