OH.

MY.

GOSH.

The funniest movie you will ever see. Probably only writers will understand why it's so funny. Ohmigosh, when the author started having conversations with her characters, I just cracked up.

I didn't even really pay attention to Nim and her dad, because they were a bit boring. Yeah.

But the writer. Crap, I can't remember her name. Alex something.

Anyway. It was a freaking hilarious movie, and I suggest it to every writer out there.

Just write -- the rest of life will follow.

Would love help on this.

Alexandra Rover. Played by Jodie Foster. ImdB does wonders. :lol:

I, too, loved and adored this movie. But then Jodie Foster as an agoraphobic author, with Gerald Butler as her leading man (like a cross between Cussler's Dirk Pitt and Indiana Jones) in her head, will slay me any day. Also, Abigail Breslin and dancing sea lions too are love.

I haven't seen it but my mum's getting it for me for my birthday. Can't wait!

I had to watch the trailor loads of times for Media Studies and it looks really good. I also read the book when I was little and the sequel which are also great. I think it's funny how her character has the same name and persuades Alex to go to the Island, (or tries?) Anyway. looks good. :)

Haha, this was the cutest movie ever.
I loved Alex's conversations with her character, I almost did crack up. :]
