Little Manhattan

by Shawni

I liked the movie “Little Manhattan”, it had adventure and love which made it enjoyable. The romance of the two kids made me laugh and made me sad when they “broke-up”.

This movie showed that love is a painful thing we all want. The main character, Gabe, has grown-up not liking girls and is now getting feelings for Rosemary. He doesn’t want to admit it because girls are disgusting to all the boys. When she is in his karate he knows he likes her.


They go to a baby birthday party and they get ice cream together. They walk all around Central Park in New York and talk about their lives. Once they get close Rosemary tells him she is going to camp. They start to hang out more and Gabe goes to dinner with Rosemary and her parents. During the dinner they hold hands and afterwards Gabe kisses her.


Gabe gets angry with Rosemary and tells her he hates her. He starts feeling sorry and knows he doesn’t have much time to apologize. She is going to go to camp the day after her aunt’s wedding. Gabe goes to say sorry. While he is there they dance and are friends again, then Gabe goes home. Once he goes home he sees his parents laughing. This is weird because they are divorced. They all three go to dinner and are happy again.
