Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

studioAT I can't praise this film enough. For a film to capture all the warmth and humour that this film does while being honest and true about a theme that has been done a million times before it fantastic.The cast right from the two young leads to the experience of Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the city) and Bradley Whitford (Studio 60 -love that show) are great and the film makers are also clever in the way that they show us Manhattan but from a kids point of view.The ending itself is a masterclass. It gives you just enough but also doesn't sugar coat things leaving us smiling as we have been for the last 80 minutes.Overall a fun kiddie rom-com that deserves all the praise it gets.

Tss5078 For those of you who don't know the name Josh Hutcherson, you will soon. He is a big Sci-Fi fan, and in his short career, has been in Journey To The Center of The Earth, Bridge To Terabithia, and he has also recently landed the lead in the Hunger Games trilogy. Little Manhattan was however the film that got him started. It's a simple story about a ten year old boy and his first love. Basically, I saw it as Sex In The City from the adolescent males point of view. (It even features Cynthia Nixon and Willie Garson.) The film was cute, but it should have been so much better. The kids were acting way way WAY too mature for ten year olds. I was a ten year old boy once and nothing like THAT ever crossed my mind. The parts are written for much older kids, nevertheless, Hutcherson and Charlie Ray both do a fantastic job with their respective roles. This should have been a comedy about the awkwardness of first love, instead, it's just a cute story. It's enjoyable, but they could have done so much more with this story and this cast.

tiger160297 I am not saying this is a bad movie, but I just didn't like it.10 year old Gabe finds first love in Manhattan and experiments with it. But when he discovers the bad side to love he gets confused and tells her he loves her.I did not enjoy this film. It was really funny and light hearted. It deserves a 7 because of acting, being extremely cheesy and me not enjoying it. It was funny, charming, and cheesy but I didn't like it. While my whole family enjoyed but I was just a little disappointing. I recommend this romantic comedy to any one with a free Saturday night and is in the mood for something that will keep you from falling asleep. But there are much more movies that can replace this one.

Khemaluck Deeprawat I love this film. It's not like an award-winning film or anything like that but it's a believable love story. It's not yucky soapy film that I suspected in the beginning, while picking it up from the rental shop. It's a story that makes you think back of how you begin to learn about love. This one is not a Hollywood formulated romantic comedy although it may look like one if you just look at the front cover of the DVD or read the synopsis. But trust me, this film is such a joy to watch and will make you something way, way back in your childhood.There is a lot of narration in this film but the voice of the child narrator sounds natural. I was not irritated by it at all. Actually, I enjoyed the narration a lot. It made me laugh.The lead actor and actress are well-cast. I think the girl is very lovely and the boy is just perfect for his role. The story is funny and charming. The director and screenplay writer sure know about little things that matter to us when we were young. That's what makes this little film so special. The ending is surprisingly good. At first, you may think that this is going to end like all the romantic films I've watched. But no, it's better.I like the atmosphere in this film. I think it's good that they make Manhattan looks clean, bright, and colorful, as if viewing from the eyes of a child in love. That's what puppy love feels like. If you don't anymore, maybe this one will remind you.
