Nancy Drew

The will is in the Chinese box.

Mistakes - When Nancy drew is talking to the guy about the records for adopted children the cake she gave him keeps appearing and disappearing off the napkin as the shot changes.

I am not a little girl anymore, but as sometimes I remember being one and can find amusement in a crappy but cute kid flick. I also read many Nancy Drew books. So I got out my grain of salt and watched this movie. It's bad, even for it's genre, it's insulting to kids, and insulting to the series, and Emma Roberts does make a respectable role model but she really can't act

I thought that this was a surprisingly good re-imagining of the classic character with Emma Roberts as Nancy Drew. It's energetic and very 00's in style, but still seemed to capture the essence of the character. Sure, it's no Knives Out, but the mystery was pretty good, and there are simply not too many of these mysteries/suspense films targeted at preteens.

Nancy Drew does CPR on someone who's choking

On the other hand, judging from the reaction of throngs of 8- to 13-year-old girls with whom I shared a theater, Nancy Drew really hits the spot for younger viewers who aren't expecting complete faithfulness to the books. For them, there's a lot to love, most of which is wrapped up in a smart, spunky sleuth who's comfortable in her own skin and courteous to a fault. And with the exception of a few characters' poorly chosen words (none of which are spoken by the leading lady),

Emma Roberts has her aunt's star quality! She was the perfect choice for the role. A great mixture of sweet, sincere, and sleuth. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat and warmed my heart at the same time.

Nothing wrong with Emma Roberts and it would probably entertain 10 year old girls. Can't see anyone outside that demographic enjoying it however.

"Nancy Drew is almost charming when she's out snooping in the boonies, but she doesn't make a whole lot of sense nosing around Hollywood wearing Bree Van De Kamp's hand-me-downs." - Ed Gonzalez

Holy shit, I have to say Emma Roberts is HOT (much hotter than her auntie ever was). Nancy Drew the movie is NOT. I guess it's fun for young girls, but since I don't like to think in terms of target audiences, and find the idea that cheap Hollywood crap is good for kids condescending and wrong, I'll give this a 30.

Kind of goofy, but at least there were some moments in it.

If you have kids, especially for those of you with daughters, definitely take them to see this. Nancy Drew is a great role model, she makes it cool to be smart and dress modestly. I'd say most all kids will probably really like this movie, it never has a dull moment (thankfully for anyone that's graduated middle school, nor is it all over the place), and the mystery is actually not all that easy to solve in your head. For the adults, you'll enjoy it, but you won't love it.
