When the young island-dwelling Nim (Abigail Breslin) loses contact with her scientist father (Gerard Butler) who's lost at sea, she reaches out to her favorite author (Jodie Foster) for help. Problem is, the writer -- of adventure stories no less -- is
a recluse who hasn't left her house in years. Can the agoraphobic
author summon the same courage she's instilled in the hero of her
novels in time to rescue her biggest fan?

4 Stars. Loved seeing Jodie as an agoraphobic person...she plays it very well. Nim is a fantastic little girl who is very independent and exciting. She has a great love for her family, friends (the various animals), and her island. Great ohana (family) movie!!!
