Little Manhattan is a heartwarming romantic comedy that was released in 2005. Directed by Mark Levin, the movie stars Josh Hutcherson as the lead character, Gabe, a ten-year-old boy who falls in love for the first time with a girl named Rosemary Telesco (Charlotte Ray Rosenberg). The movie is set in Manhattan and the story revolves around Gabe’s first love experience. He meets Rosemary in his karate class and is instantly smitten by her. The two of them then start spending time together exploring different parts of the city, including Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. As they explore the city together, Gabe starts to realize how much he likes Rosemary and how much he wants to be with her.

However, things are not as simple as Gabe hopes they would be. Rosemary is about to leave for a summer camp in the wilderness where there is no access to technology or communication.
