adi_2002 And our little hero even looks like Daphne. And what does she do? Solve mysteries. As Nancy. And it seems it is very good, making police job in her hometown. Is a girl with a high IQ, incredibly smart, a little genius. She moves with her father in another city. Staying in a house where lived an old actress who was missing for then to be found dead and the cause is still not known. Then she goes to school where it is not seen very well, her classmates make fun of her because of old-fashioned clothes that she wears. Nancy can not help but find out what happened to Delhi and from some old movies slowly finds all sorts of clues that help find out who is the killer. Surprising was the appearance of Bruce Willis, even if only for 30 seconds and I liked when she got introduced to Nancy used his real name. The film has some flaws. Shows us how she went to school but just one day? Then he went not. I do not think it says how old is our detective so can drive a car and parade through traffic. I can not say I liked this movie but i didn't hate it either. It is to see if you want to remember the childhood, if you want to get into the minds of children. But honestly better I looked at "Bolt".

curtis martin This is a cute, Nickelodeon-type version of Nancy Drew, but it suffers a bit from a confused tone. It seems to me that the filmmakers couldn't decide if they wanted to celebrate or ridicule Nancy's abilities. Sometimes the movie seems like a semi-parody like "The Brady Bunch Movie," where the comedy came from the way the super goody-good fictional characters interacted with the "real" world around them (which is especially confusing, since Nancy Drew stories are usually mysteries, not out and out comedies). Other times it seems like a Disney Channel TV show. Other times it seems like real Nancy Drew (though it would benefit from more mysteriousness).On the positive side, the movie is very kid and teen friendly and Emma Roberts, the young star, is very appealing. She has that kind of likably precocious energy that Bonita Granville had in the original movies of the 30s and 40s. But it has been almost three years since this movie came out, and the sequel is set to come out in 2011. They really should have cranked out at least one a year in order to take advantage of her youth before they have to have a college age Nancy, even if they had to go the direct to DVD route. Perhaps they should have gone the TV-series route.

Elswet I grew up on Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and the Three Investigators book series. I was experiencing trepidation about this film anyway, but the character has undergone a whole and complete transformation and now she's a dogless Penny of Inspector Gadget fame. Nancy Drew was an investigator of mysterious circumstances, not a gadget laden, pint sized super hero.Okay, I liked this movie, but like Roland Emmerich's Godzilla, it shouldn't have been a namesake movie. As a great kid's movie empowering young ladies with the desire to become more intelligent and capable, this is a fantastic step. BUT...as a Nancy Drew movie, I can't endorse this endeavor. Nancy Drew was NOT Ned's Super Ex-Girlfriend, she was a kid; an intelligent beyond belief kid, yes...but a kid not Wonder Woman in a training bra.It's great, but not as a Nancy Drew movie. Oddly though...I hope they do make another one. I enjoyed it.It rates a 6.2/10 from...the Fiend :.

Murli There's another viewer who boasted that they'd read all the original books and how Emma roberts was perfect as Nancy Drew etc etc. Well, I too have read all the original stories and I couldn't disagree more. Those stories were very good and I loved Nancy Drew but I always imagined her to be older (say 18/19), more fun and more natural. Instead we get a characters who's 14/15 years old goody two shoes know it all who's somehow more intelligent at crime solving than the police...well that was the case in the stories so I guess I can't really gripe about that fact.I'm sure that the plot was good but Nancy Drew was completely miscast not to mention that the characters were made to be a lot younger so it's kind of hard to take them seriously in this story. emma roberts was a poor choice (she's definitely not a good actress) and on her way to becoming the next anne hathaway (another lame actress in her own right).I really hope that there isn't another nancy drew movie if the same cast and director are used again. It was an utter chore to watch this movie and there was absolutely nothing else interesting on TV at the time (it was either this or watch the HGTV on how to make the perfect drywall).
