If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A sweet charming story about a 10 year old finding his first love in New York city. The movie is funny, adorable, tart romantic comedy showing what falling in love for the first time is. Characters are fine and actors have done a good job. The movie however rides on the crisp story, funny plot and simple but nice direction. Its an adorable and sweet (but yet not too sweet movie. Music does a good job to keep up with the changes in the mood of the characters; and good that it does not overdoes it. The movie is recommended for anyone who likes romantic comedies. It is definitely going to leave the sweetness of first love with you.

Its a real nice movie which you can watch again and again. I have watched this movie around 7-8 times and still can watch it every time it comes. The work done by Josh ,express the feeling of the guys who are not used to hanging out with girls and then suddenly when they start liking somebody they just can't handle them and start acting weird around her. I mean it couldn't be anymore cute and romantic which you could watch anytime and i seriously mean anytime. Charlie ray did a very fine job and i am surprised that i haven't seen her in other movies. She along with josh have made this a very excellent movie. The portrays every feeling one has during love i.e. the blooming period where the love starts to blossom , then the jealousy and heart break . You surely got to watch this movie if you like romantic comedy.

Saw this movie long time back, its a simple, feel good love story of a 10 year old kid :)A 10 year old boy, goes through school and his parents decide to separate and start to meet new people. In the meantime a cute little girl (RoesMary!! - U will definitely remember this name after seeing the movie :D ) joins in his class. The boy instantly falls in love with her and the story continues with a good pace and good humor and feel good factor. Through the movie, he learns about love, the happiness and pain it gives. Nothing much in the movie to elaborate, watch it and thank me later :) Review - A simple feel good movie, a definite #WeekEndPick - 8/10 :)

Little Manhattan is the story of first love of a pair of charming fifth graders. The actors playing the two leads, Josh Hutcherson and Charlie Ray, are utterly fascinating and brilliant to watch. Charlie Ray, the girl, in fact made her film debut with this wonderful ode to first love. Mark Levin directed the film written by Jennifer Flackett, and it hearkens back to the days of Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years. Levin wrote several episodes of the series and uses the same voice over technique of the young male actor narrating events as they happen. The end result is an honest and real look at subject matter that has rarely been this poignant and ingratiating. Melody, a British film from 1971, comes to mind. The film contains wonderful location footage in and around Manhattan and a hilarious homage to The Graduate. Additional subtle odes to Play It Again Sam, A Little Romance, and The Karate Kid are apparent as well. Flackett's screenplay is never clichéd, cloying or maudlin and is the biggest reason why the film succeeds. The performances are honest, real, and true to life. It's an excellent, entertaining film to watch with youngsters similar in age to the young leads. *** of 4 stars.
