You know how it is: You're living your life perfectly peacefully on a desert island with your daughter (Abigail Breslin) and her crew of talking, CGI animals when, out of nowhere, Jodie Foster floats up on a raft. It's all of the worst stuff you remember from those early live-action Disney movies such as The Gnome-Mobile and Swiss Family Robinson, but without any of their charm. The studio pulls out all the stops (a talking lizard, but he's NOT named Lizard, protests Abigail when her dad calls him that) in an attempt to capitalize on the successes of Lost, 300 (Gerard Butler plays Breslin's dad, who gets stranded at sea eventually), Little Miss Sunshine and the recent spate of kid-friendly animal movies. The sad thing is that despite the embarrassment to Jodie Foster (she gets a wakeup kiss from a sea lion, runs smack into a tree and says emphatically, "I took a plane, I took a helicopter, I stole a boat"), the tired formula probably will bring kids and their parents out in droves.
