REVIEW FOR LITLE MANHATTAN

by Genesee

In the movie Little Manhattan two eleven year olds who become good friends after not seeing each other in five years. The reuniting of the two children results in bewilderment, and the heartbreaking experiences of your first love. Both Charlie Ray and Josh Hutcherson made this movie work really good.

This movie takes place in present day New York or also known as the “Big Apple”. In the beginning Gabe, (Josh Hutcherson), isn’t all that interested in girls, but after deciding to take karate he figures out what love feels like. At first he doesn’t know what to think about being with Rosemary, (Charlie Ray), but finds out he enjoys being around her. Gabe and Rosemary start to hang out more and more after reuniting, and as this goes on Gabe wants to push the relationship with Rosemary further.

I liked the movie because it’s a romantic comedy everybody can enjoy. Almost every one can relate to love and how hard it was to try to impress that certain person. Gabe demonstrates how stupid you act around that certain person, and then you can hear what he’s actually thinking when he does all these stupid things. I think that it’s a real plus side to be able to hear what the character is thinking, because every body can remember that they thought the same things Gabe. This would be a good movie for all to enjoy because it has a combination of sweetness, comedy, and romance all mixed in to one smoothie.

If they had a couple more scenes it would have improved the movie by a bunch. One thing that I think was needed was more of a closure on the ending. Another thing it needed was a little scene to tell you what Rosemary was thinking. If we could just here a little of what Rosemary was thinking then we would understand what happened a little more. Most of what I’m trying to say is that we need to know a little more about what’s happening in both their heads and what goes down in the end.
