Dec 26 2007'Nim's Island' Poster Accurately Portrays Film's Psychoses
It appears Abigail Breslin has grown to the size of a building in order to avoid the dangers of sharks and cartoon pirates. Gerard Butler remains a homeless Indiana Jones while Jodie Foster seems to be halfway through a transformation into Reese Witherspoon, and she's holding a shoe? In the background, a volcano spews an eruption of dreams.
Thankfully, last week's trailer explained all of this apparent madness: everyone in this film is at varying degrees of crazy.

Unless you have an accurate perspective of "Nim's Island", your comments are just wasted hot air.
The film is a children's film, adapted from a children's book.
The main character, Nim, is a child, with a child's viewpoint of the world, plus a grand imagination.
Nim lives on a tropical island with her father (also played by Gerry Butler), the only inhabitants of the island.
So, Nim lives in a fantastical place to begin with and has no other children to play with, so her imagination and reading material creates a fun and adventurous life.
Gerry Butler's "Alex Rover" is a fictional character in books written by Foster's reclusive author, "Alexandra Rover". He comes alive only in the author's and in the child's minds.
Therefore, "Alex Rover" is a fun parody of all adventuring characters that wear rugged clothes and the expected broad-brimmed hat.
Now, please get the stick out of your arse and either read the book, or simply wait to see the film, instead of judging the whole film via a poster, a trailer, and your limited knowledge.
