“Little Manhattan”

by Paul P3

This movie is Little Manhattan. It has two eleven year old kids in the city of New York. The main characters are Gabe and Rosemary.

Little Manhattan is about two kids in New York and Gabe (Josh Hutcherson) falls in love with a girl named Rosemary (Charlie Ray). Gabe has never felt this feeling before and he started this feeling this feeling when they both were in karate lessons. Gabe’s parents are splitting up and his dad sleeps on the couch while his mom is going on match.com. Rosemary’s parents are soap opera writers. The two kids knew each other from kindergarten. Well Gabe and Rosemary start going around New York together. They search for an apartment together and venture around. Then he kisses Rosemary and has a bad aftermath that he regrets.

The good parts about this movie are how Gabe’s story and his parents’ story are parallel. This movie is also not just for children. It could be for adults too. It’s cool how adults could relate to this movie about their first love. Also they could relate on how love sucks and how it’s great. It also shows how kids have fun or what they do in a city like New York. It was really funny and they could’ve made this movie really bland, but they actually made it very interesting and wanted you to stay and watch. Also it showed what the children were thinking and imagining which really run along with a kid that is 11 years old.

The low and not so great parts are how the movie seems to praise New York and show how New York is so great and never really shows too many bad things that happen in New York. Otherwise this movie was a good one I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.
