As directed by Mark Levin, Little Manhattan is an endearing, affectionately humorous and even lyrical depiction of the dawning of adolescence amid the privileged.
A moderately charming comedy depicting a fumbling prepubescent first romance in a beautiful, fairy-tale version of the borough.
Seeks to be a whimsical premise but, except for a few moments, proves ponderous instead.
A big surprise, a comedy detailing the angst of first love with rare candor.
What a treasure -- a funny, tart, romantic comedy about tweens suffering the pangs of first love. It makes the cityscape an essential part of the romance, like a junior, vintage Woody Allen.
This small-scale, perfectly acted family film listens in on all the doubts and desires of an 11-year-old as he confronts new feelings about a girl he has known practically all his life.
Refreshingly realistic tween tale of first love.
A Woody Allen-style New York romcom, only with eleven year-olds.
Nicely well-made, although it'll probably only appeal to young girls.
Little Manhattan is the cutest, funniest, most heartbreaking and inspiring movie you will see all year
The freshness is authentic even when the whimsy grows hard to bear. The two leads are precocious in a way more typical of child actors than actual children.
This little family movie wants to be adorable and ALMOST gets there, but suffers from trying too hard to be too cute.
