“Little Manhattan”

by Jessie Dar Dar

Little Manhattan had a good contrast between a child’s world and an and adults world. This movie shows just how alike children and adults can be when it comes to the opposite gender.

Little Manhattan is a movie about a young boy named Gabe and he falls in love a girl named Rosemary. The two kids have been going to school together since kindergarten and in sixth grade they end up taking the same Karate class. After that, Gabe discovers that he loves Rosemary. To him, she used to be the third prettiest girl in the class, but after he found out that she was in his class, he thought she was the prettiest.

This movie was made for not only children, but adults too. It had two story lines to it. One was the love story from the kids point of view, and the second story line was the love story from the parents. Little Manhattan is a good movie because it compares a first love with a love that needs to be fixed.

Some of the bad things about this movie was the fact that Rosemary’s parents were never really there until around the end of the movie. To tell you the truth, they looked completely different on the television than they did when Gabe met them. Plus, the board was already cracked when Rosemary punched it.
