I was so anxious to see this movie. Gerard Butler for us ladies, dear Abigail Breslin riding zip lines and climbing a volcano, cooking meal worms, being so cute and sweet that we all want to take her home.. Jody Foster has to overcome a lot of obsticles to get to the island. And then there were the animals. This movie will take you away from all the hassels of your lives.For about 2 hrs you will live on a deserted island with the hottest man alive, an adorable little girl, and a writer of adventure books. What's not to like?

We loved this movie. It is great to see what an imagination can do and facing your fears can free you up to really experience life.

This movie was really good. It was a little too whimsical for me, but that shouldn't be a problem for the younger viewers.

I took my 5 year old to see this movie and was very disappointed by how slow it was. There are a lot of parts that drag on. The previews make the movie seem upbeat and fun, but in reality it has many sad/depressing scenes. Also, Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin do not even meet until the very end. Wait for video so that you can do something around the house during the slow, sad scenes. Do not make the mistake of taking a youngster to this movie, a lot of the time is spent watching the characters email back and forth and talking with themselves. Thank goodness I took my son to the drive-ins instead of the indoor movie theaters. At least in the car he could pull out his hot wheels and play.
