Little Manhattan

by Abby




This movie is heartwarming and funny. “Little Manhattan” is for anyone in the family who likes romance and comedy at the same time. Living in Manhattan was fine until Gabe gets Rosemary as his karate partner.

Gabe is just any other 11 year old kid that thinks girls have cooties and boys rule. That is until he gets Rosemary as a karate partner. Rosemary has been in Gabe’s class since kindergarten, but once they get to 2nd grade a metal sheet comes down between the boys and girls. Gabe’s parents are on the verge of getting divorced and his life has been pretty good; but then that one day when he gets Rosemary as his karate partner his life changes forever. This movie takes you on a journey that mostly everyone takes when they are preteens.

“Little Manhattan” has a lot of things that I liked. I liked I liked the way it told a story that everyone goes through. I the way it told a story that everyone goes through. Everyone has a first love and most of the time it doesn’t work out; and sadly in this movie it doesn’t either. Rosemary and Gabe have been friends for a long time too though, so it might have been awkward. They did have good times together, and that’s something I really liked about it.

There is not one thing I didn’t like in this movie. They had enough dialogue and that’s something I really like. When there isn’t enough dialogue the movie kind of drags on. Every movie should have a lot of dialogue. This was one of the best movies I have seen.
