A romantic comedy, it is a delightful tale of first love of two 11 year old kids living in Manhattan.

Eleven year old fifth grader Gabe Burton (Josh Hutcherson) lives in the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his father Adam (Bradley Whitford) and mother Leslie (Cynthia Nixon). His parents had been separated for more than a year but they still share the same apartment until their divorce papers are finalized.

Gabe hangs around with his friends, play basketball and ride the scooter around the city streets. But his life changes when he joins a karate class and was paired with Rosemary Telesco (Charlie Ray) as his partner, whom he has known since kindergarten. For Gabe it was love at first sight and he is badly smitten. During summer, Gabe locates Rosemary's apartment and takes a ride to her place on his scooter and meets her. Between karate classes and sharing ice-cream corns they develop a good bonding. She introduces him to her parents and takes him to a flower girl dress fitting. He really adores her and is in love.

As the summer days pass by, Rosemary announces that she is going away from Manhattan to a camp and possibly was going to change school when she comes back. Gabe is practically heartbroken but he devices some plans to keep their love blooming. Find out more about these young lovebirds.

First time filmmaker Mark Levin narrates a beautiful story of young love. He pays good attention to the "Kids World", what they do, what they talk about and their life in general. He successfully presents the tale of 11 year olds as seen through the eyes of an adult. It is emotionally resonant and sweetly sentimental. The picturesque tour of Manhattan with the familiar places like Central Park and many skyscrapers are wonderful.

Josh Hutcherson as Gabe presents an excellent performance. He portray the passion, the feelings as well as his infatuation with Rosemary very well. The agony of a heartbroken young lover is well enacted. Charlie Ray as Rosemary presents a great performance. She is beautiful and graceful. Film could be marked as a story of puppy love but it deals with the anxiety of young kids in love very well, like the first crush, first kiss and the first heartbreak. This family friendly film with an emotionally vibrant tale is suitable for youngsters, teenagers as well as adults.

We rate this movie VERY GOOD.
