A 2008 family adventure movie about an 11-year old girl
(Abigail Breslin) who lives with her father (voluntarily)(Gerard Butler) on an uncharted island, a la ("Swiss Family Robinson","Gilligan's Island", or "Robinson Crusoe", except Gilligan's characteras are shipwrecked, not forever on an island out of their own volition). Based on a book by author Wendy Orr, it tells of her seafaring daddy, and her hero, "male" author Alex Rover (Jodie Foster, a child star earlier in her own right and who deserves credit for recomending Jodie's star billing!), who's actually a female (as Jodie Foster's mention above should explain!). Gerard Butler, continuing a la Hilary Swank's 2007 "P.S.I Love You" a fantasy role, doubles as the fictional Alex Rover. (An Indiana Jones like adventurer.0
You'll have to watch the rest yourself. Released on April 11, '08. From both Twentieth-Century Fox and Walden Media, which has given us many family films in the last five or so years. Somewhat of a cross between the above island films, and many child themed adventures.

I saw 'Nim's Island'. Very good movie, and should be shown next time I go on the Princess Cruise to Hawaii!! Not to have that in a tropical themed movie program is a crime!

Get the Nim's Islandmug. A ball of soap that fizzles in the bathtub. Girls seem to tend ot love it. Despite what some are saswying, not every guy hates it, or at least not every guy who LOVES using them and claims it is a hybrid driving, wierd gay homosexual person. But many guys do hate them - at leasst the manly guys -seem to, esp.for reasons mentioned by others, esp.when they see girls, their own or others posting on Snapchat or something like Instagram or Twitter about it..

Girl with accurate taste:I love Alanis Morissette, if Ottowa gave us ANY superstars here in the USA, it's her."
