Gigi & Nate is the story of Nate Gibson, a young man whose life is turned upside down after he suffers a near-fatal illness and is left a quadriplegic. Moving forward seems near impossible until he meets his unlikely service animal, Gigi -- a curious and intelligent capuchin monkey. Although she is trained to assist Nate with his basic needs, Gigi helps Nate find what he needs most of all: hope.

Critics Consensus

There's no denying Gigi & Nate's good intentions -- but it's also impossible to ignore this cloying drama's clunky execution.

Audience Says

Round up the whole family and make sure you have enough tissues for everyone -- Gigi & Nate is too heartwarming to resist.

Tim Cogshell

FilmWeek (LAist)

The courtroom drama completely undoes the whole thing. It's just completely contrived.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

It has a pleasant but not particularly striking look; endearing performances from a familiar cast of esteemed veterans and earnest newcomers, and a storyline designed to provide a few initial chuckles.

Rated: 3/4

Luke Y. Thompson

AV Club

Unfortunately, the final stretch of the movie becomes a riff on God’s Not Dead, though PETA, er, “AFAB,” becomes its cartoon courtroom villain instead of liberal academia.

Rick Bentley

KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)

The combination of the big heart in the story and the always strong work by Harden makes this a solid family film.

Rated: B

Should I See It

...never quite decides if it wants viewers to be inspired, angry, or both.

Rated: 2/5

Epoch Times

Hamm and Hudgins utilize the final 20 minutes quite well by tossing in two thoroughly unpredictable twists. “Gigi & Nate” won’t change the world, but it will give (most of) you the warm and fuzzies. Sometimes that’s all you need to take away from a movie.

Rated: 3.5/5
