      Critics Consensus

      Despite good intentions, Nim's Island flounders under an implausible storyline, simplistic stock characters, and distracting product placement. Read critic reviews

        Despite the unbelievable storyline, Nim's Island is a cute movie aimed for children. More talking than actually going out for adventure.

        There's not a lot of adventure in Nim's Island but there is a lot of character development and although it might be confusing for some, the acting and script just about save's it.

        what makes nim's island so enjoyable is that it's funny with it's script, modest when it's not, and still adds a great look at family entertainment. B+

        I didn't like the story-line at all. Talking animals; characters getting out of impossible situations; totally predictable. I saw it a second time a couple years later, softened my stand a bit and raised my rating by 1/2 a star. At least the plot kept moving.
