Love, it’s something we all want, but it can be confusing, frustrating, and heart breaking. And what movie shows the ups and downs of love better than the movie, “Little Manhattan”. “Little Manhattan” is a Romantic comedy, starring Josh Hutcherson and Charlie Ray. It was also directed by Mark Levin, and written by Jennifer Flackett. The movie is sappy, sweet, and everything that a romantic comedy is.
“Little Manhattan” takes place is present day New York. The movie displays the lives of Gabe, (Josh Hutcherson), and Rosemary, (Charlie Ray), and there bumpy pre-teen love. Through the whole movie you hear Gabe’s point of view about Rosemary and his infatuation with her. You get to witness love at its most awkward, and at its finest. But the whole love story begins when Gabe decides to join a Karate class. There he meets Rosemary, a friend of his from kindergarten, who becomes his sparring partner. When he sees her, he immediately forms a crush on her. From that point on, him and Rosemary start to hangout more, and become closer friends. But as they become closer friends Gabe’s feelings for Rosemary grow even deeper.
The movie as a whole is an enlightening, sweet, romantic, comedy for the whole family to watch. Especially because, “Little Manhattan”, showed love for what it actually is; awkward and just flat out awesome. Rosemary and Gabe demonstrate what it is like to love someone, and how hard it is to love someone. Another great thing about “Little Manhattan” is you get to hear Gabe’s point of view through the whole movie. Hearing what he thinks is great because you get to feel the love and passion he has for Rosemary.
Anyone watching the movie that has not been in love will learn all about this crazy experience. And anyone who has been in love, in either the past or present, will relive the memory of the entire experience. When you watch “Little Manhattan” you will definitely have a smile brought to your face.
Though the movie was great altogether, it did have some weak points. One of the weakest points of the movie was its ending. Through the whole movie you get to witness Gabe and Rosemary’s relationship, but when it comes to the ending you don’t really know what happens to the stance of the relationship. It just sort of leaves you hanging. You really have to understand the context of what Gabe and Rosemary are telling each other to know what is happening. You especially have to pay attention to Rosemary, because what she says really affects their relationship. Though complicated, the ending wraps up the movie nicely, and makes it a little off-beat.

“Little Manhattan” review
by Lizeth
In the movie “Little Manhattan” the two main characters Rosemary and Gabe have known each other since kindergarten and they have been friends since then but in the first grade everything changed he started thinking that girls had cooties. Five years later he joins a karate class and everything starts to change when Rosemary becomes his karate partner. The directors of the movie were Mark Levin and Jennifer Flakett.
“Little Manhattan” takes place in present day New York. In the beginning Gabe thinks that girls have cooties but that changes when he joins a karate class. That’s when he noticed Rosemary. He starts hanging out with her and starts developing a crush on her. The more and more time Gabe spends hanging out with her he falls in love with her.
I liked the movie because it showed what Gabe’s experience of falling in love for the first time was like. I also liked that it showed what Gabe was thinking or imagining. Another thing about the movie that I liked is that the movie is for everyone to watch.
I didn’t like that Gabe and Rosemary get barely any time to spend together because Rosemary had so many things to do. I also didn’t like that Rosemary’s parents were there and the nanny.

Little Manhattan is a funny Romanic comedy. The main characters are Gabe,( josh hutcherson) and the girl he falls in Rosemary Telesco,( Charlie ray). There is also a great subplot played by Gabe’s parents (Cynthia Nixon) (Bradley Whitford).
Little Manhattan is about an 11 year old boy (Gabe) who gets this weird feeling in his stomach once he see Rosemary Telesco in his karate class. He doesn’t know what this feeling is and his parents are the last ones to ask. They are getting a divorce but to a crack in N.Y.’s divorce system says neither of them can move until all the papers are signed. Gabe and Rosemary become sparring partners and Rosemary invites him to her house. Soon they go every where together. You have to be there for an 11 year old love story that you’ll laugh your pants off for.
This movie is good. It was a great Romantic comedy about something most of us experience. Gabe does a great job in the movie. For a childhood actor he is great. The movie is definatly something to take your children to. Also, it is a pretty good movie for adults too. All in all, it was a good movie.
The only bad thing about is that it is kind of a big travel brochure to New York. It for sure tried to show famous places such as the planetarium. It made me want to visit for sure. But besides that I don’t have anything to complain about.
All in all it is a good movie. I would give it thumbs up. This is a great movie you need to see with your kids if you do get to see this awesome romantic’s comedy.

Little Manhattan review
by Horacio
The name of the movie is little Manhattan. It was filmed in New York. It is an interesting movie.
Gabe and Rosemary are the main characters they are karate friends. Gabe thinks its time to step it up a notch so when Rosemary invites Gabe to a concert he holds her hand. After the concert Gabe kisses rosemary.
I liked this movie because it had a lot of scenes from New York. If you have never been to New York. It is an awesome movie to show you about New York. It also has a lot of details about Manhattan. Like all the buildings and the streets.
I didn’t like this movie because it was kind of childish. I didn’t like the part when Gabe thought that the buildings were pirate ships. I also did not like it when the parents got back together because the mom was dating other guys and the dad took it. I think this movie was a pretty cool movie.

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.

“Little Manhattan”

Little Manhattan is about two eleven year olds falling in love for their first time and they feel weird when they’re together because they used to believe in coodies. The two actors are Josh Hutcherson and Charlie Ray.
The two kids used too be friends in kindergarten and would always hang out together but then she moved. In second grade they made a metal curtain that would suppose to separate the boys and the girls from the boys. They met again when he joined the karate class and thought she was beautiful and fell in love with her and felt weird.
I liked the movie because it was about kids that fell in love at that age. Also because he tries to act cool but he is just too nervous and acts dumb. It is also cool because they show a lot of the nice parts of New York and it makes it look beautiful.
The things that I didn’t like were that Gabe cried all the time for anything that he did wrong.

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.
