*** MIGTH CONTAIN SPOILERS! ***

Genre: adventure
Plot: Girl left alone on an island calls the writer of adventure novels for help.

Comments: The trailer is misleading and let’s you hope for more, but that just doesn’t happen. There are also some discrepancies in the movie that makes you wonder why film makers think it’s ok to teach little kids things that are just not right. Other than that the movie is fun, both Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler playing their parts well, and for a kids movie I guess it’s alright. Now where’s that island again?

Rating: 6/10
