Nim's Island** (U)
South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell
An agoraphobic adventure novelist decides to help a 12-year old find her father on their own private island.
There's a lot of the old Disney style (complete with Jodie Foster and cute animal sidekicks) in this rather sentimental but enjoyable Swiss Family Robinson cum Romancing the Stone adventure - shot not on a remote island but in Queensland, Australia. Funny if slightly overplayed with its "fish out of water" scenario, although these scenes (especially the fantasy depiction of "Alex Rover") are more enjoyable than the schmaltzy central plot with the girl and her father.
