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.

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

3/4

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.

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.

B

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

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

3.5/5

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.

This show was uplifting and my great grandkids loved it. In fact we've now seen it 4 times. Touching and a wonderful reflection on how service animals NO MATTER WHAT KIND can make miracles happen to their human. DONT MISS THIS SHOW!!!!!!
