Little Manhattan

by Ginger Girl

This week I am reviewing a cute movie called little Manhattan. This movie can easily be mistaken for a Childs mild movie. Yet this is a movie of realistic passion. A strong bond, two people in separate worlds first friends for two happy years in kinder garden and first grade. Then invisible incompatible life forms then colleagueship then love a passion so strong no one can pull away.


First let me tell you about this lovely story. It’s about a boy who loves a girl and she doesn’t love him. Its first love and Gabe is crushed. He cries for days. He discovers the secrets of love with his parents and knows rosemary Telesco will have a very special place in his heart forever.


In this movie there were several things that I like. One of the things I like is the special effects. The reason I liked them is that they give a certain insight into Gabe’s head this in turn enhances the movies limits. I also like the way the writers don’t look down upon the kids, they see them as equals. The last important thing that I like is it seems real and very well could be.

There were also things I didn’t like. Such as Gabe’s dad making him focusing on one thing his whole life. A place kicker and even though the outfit of being a place kicker got old, too small, and scratchy he wouldn’t let Gabe shed his placekicking skin. He just pushed and shoved. Also I didn’t like how his mom said that love sucks. That could cause young people to not even think about the opposite gender and stop the circle of life! All in all I think this was a good movie and you should defiantly watch it.
