Little Manhattan

ComedyFamilyRomance90 min

On Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a ten-year-old boy gets blindsided by his first crush and suddenly sees the city, school, and everyday routines differently. Gabe spends his time worrying about homework, karate, and divorced parents, but that all shifts when he starts falling for Rosemary, his partner in a children’s karate class. What begins as awkward flirting and bike rides through the neighborhood turns into the confusion of trying to understand jealousy, mixed signals, and how much first love can hurt. As Gabe chases a feeling he can’t quite explain, the movie follows the small dramas of childhood with the stakes of a grand romance, with Josh Hutcherson and Charlotte Ray Rosenberg at the center.
