Little Manhattan

by Nora

Little Manhattan is a movie about a 11 year old boy named Gabe who lives in Manhattan and has regular guy friends and plays sports and has fun. He’s at the stage where in his class the girls and the boys are totally separated and everyone is obsessed with “cooties.” He believed in that stuff until a girl named Rosemary (the third cutest girl in his class to him) came into his love life and changed him forever.

Gabe’s parents are divorced and they are living together in the same apartment. Gabe doesn’t like his parents being divorced but he lives with it and thinks his life is pretty good. He loves playing sports with his friends and his dad. After a while he decides to join a karate class. Then he sees his kindergarten-2nd grade friend come into the class too, Rosemary Telesco. Unfortunately Rosemary becomes his sparring partner. He begins to fall in love with her and starts to ask her to meet at his or her house to practice karate. She starts to hang out with him to and he thinks she’s falling for him also. Then she breaks his heart and his life is changed forever.

What I liked about the movie was how funny it was. I think it was hilarious how Gabe becomes so clumsy around Rosemary and he falls or runs into walls. Seeing the story from a guy’s perspective was kind of weird but not very much different from a girl’s. Except that a girl doesn’t go off and cry when something bad happens. I still enjoy seeing stuff from a girl’s perspective. THAT’S WHY I LOVE THE TWILIGHT SERIES SO MUCH!!!

There wasn’t much that I didn’t really like about the movie. Well it would’ve been better if the movie was longer so I could see how Gabe goes on with his life without Rosemary. So I could say I didn’t like how “short” the movie was. Also how the parents came back together, I would’ve liked to see like 20 years in the future that Rosemary and Gabe married each other and everything.

Over all the movie to me was a cute love story and very funny. I liked it but it could’ve been longer. It’s a nice movie.
