There's too much emphasis placed on family values, becoming a Disney fairy tale loosely woven around the love bond between Nate and Gigi but not much else.

Heartwarming movie. Definitely worth seeing. The beauty of connections between people and animals which is so real!

Very good movie, heart warming and emotional journey. A must watch.

We loved this family friendly movie. We laughed, we cried. We really appreciated the life lessons, viewing life from multiple angles, feeling grateful for things we have and trying to understand another's perspective with true empathy. Parents, tissues are a must, prepare for meaningful chats, a few tears, giggles and extra appreciation of your munchkins and the life you have. What truly matters, love and compassion, value and balance for all, even if you don’t understand, try.

Loved this movie! Great acting all around especially by Charlie Rowe. I needed a few tissues. 😀

A heartwarming movie with a lovely message. I thought all of the actors gave great performances and all had great chemistry.

I'm not one to leave reviews on movies, however it's been a year since I saw Gigi and Nate and it's still stuck with me since then. The film received a lot of criticism for reasons I'll never understand. Though, as someone who's disabled and thus has a service animal like the one of the titular characters, Nate Gibson, I found this movie to be both inspiring and motivating. The dynamic between Nate and his family is heartwarming, and so is his unforgettable bond with Gigi. 10/10, would give more stars if I could.

A predictable movie about the connection between a quadriplegic and his service animal. It wants itself to be inspiring, emotional and a bit political about how the animals should be treated. But it just meanders through a variety of these subjects without really making an impression on any front. There were a few effective moments but that would be more due to simply the subject matter and some actors doing great with what they got. There's a lot I enjoyed in it but at the same time, it was also boring as a whole. It felt like it touched upon a lot of stuff that could have been explored more to make a better film but was afraid to go deep and just touched all those stuff on the surface and moved on. Considering this is not exactly a true story, it's amusing that both the main events are implied to happen due to the same girl who just comes in at that point just for that and not really even mentioned how much she has a part in this.

A good family film that everyone will enjoy.

Did you know that most primate pets are neglected and live lonely, depressed lives? I did not take a primatology class in college, but I do know that primates belong with other primates and NOT humans! Monkeys have special behavioral and social needs that cannot be satisfied by humans. A monkey as a social service animal is a a very miserable one. I do understand that this is fiction, but lots of kids will watch this and get the wrong message. This movie should have been about Nate saving Gigi, not the reverse.

This movie is so underrated. It pulls at your heart. It's beautiful. The actors & film tell a beautiful based true story!

I found this film to be quite watchable and enjoyable. The storyline had the potential to be engaging and exciting, but I felt that the character of Nate was portrayed in a negative light. He came across as constantly angry and mean, lacking depth and development that could have made him more relatable and likable. This portrayal of his character may have hindered the overall impact of the film. Despite the shortcomings in character development, I believe that the film itself was not bad and is worth watching at least a couple of times. However, it may not be a movie that I would include in my regular rotation of favorites. The actors in the film delivered exceptional performances, showcasing their talent and bringing life to the story. Their portrayals were captivating and added to the overall appeal of the movie. While the acting was commendable, I believe that the writing could have been more detailed and nuanced to enhance the depth of the storyline and characters. In conclusion, while the film had its strengths, particularly in the performances of the actors, there is room for improvement in the writing and character development to elevate the overall viewing experience. Gigi and Nate sadly suffered from poor riding. There were just too many gaps and too many holes in the majority of the film.

I enjoyed this movie it was so good. It touched my heart and it was so heartwarming.

This was a very heartwarming story with a great cast. Made me laugh and made me cry. I'm sure I will be watching it again.

Is this how monkey pox started???? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Excellent movie! Very heartwarming.

I love love love this film! Consider yourself forewarned. If you watch GIGI & NATE, you're going to need tissues. Lots of them. Not because it's sad (though there are parts…) but because it is a beautiful, heart-piercing, relatable, compassionate story. So sweet. So memorable. From the opening scene I knew Gigi would be my favorite character. She's a tiny monkey with a big personality that carries a lot of weight in this film. I worked at a therapy center helping people with brain and spinal cord injuries for a decade, so I connected with Nate's plight immediately. I know a man who suffered similar results in a cliff diving injury, so my heart connected with and absorbed so much of what Nate experienced. Knowing this film is inspired by a true story caused it to really sink in. I felt the parents' pain, Nate's despair, and Gigi's love. The power of Gigi's friendship and dedication is palpable. She is incredibly smart and irresistible. It's evident she plays an integral part in Nate's physical and emotional healing, although some people can't grasp her role as a service animal is much more significant than a pet. There are so many great characters in this film, all bringing diverse views and energies. Some made me weep, some made me laugh, and some made me want to knock some sense into them. I experienced high highs and low lows that were ultimately woven together to leave me feeling stirred and satisfied. Although this film includes some mild language and a drinking party scene, I feel these aspects offer authenticity, rather than distraction. I still consider it a wholesome film with an authentic view of a young life, etc. I love that it showcases so many special relationships between family, friends, companions, and those with a helper's heart, such as Gigi. As a viewer, I'm inspired to persevere, cling to family, have faith, and stand up for what I believe in because life can take unexpected turns very quickly and no should go through struggles alone. Gigi and Nate is an inspiring, feel-good film I could watch again and again. Many thanks to Roadside Attractions for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Awesome movie, anyone who is an animal lover needs to see it. Very engaging and very well done. Made me hate liberal activists even more, didn't think that was possible ! Lol

How Nate was able to keep the monkey in North Carolina.

Inspirational!! You’ll love it so long as your not faint at heart.
