A great coming of age girl movie that prioritzes teen personality and brain power over female body appeal.June 19, 2007
I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film.June 18, 2007
It's got a lot of fun energy, and it's got a certain kind of inspired loopiness that I found entertaining.June 30, 2007
'Nancy Drew' still has a televisual feel - more 'Murder, She Wrote' than junior 'Marple'.June 18, 2007
This Nancy is a throwback, but a charming one, and Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece) plays her with an irresistible sweetness.March 03, 2008
I think a character like Nancy Drew can still work in today's pop culture world, but unfortunately the film doesn't believe in her enough.October 31, 2007
Big-screen teen sleuth is cute, if a bit bland.March 05, 2008
For adults, there are some pleasures to be found here and there, but parents won't be blown away by it the way their daughters will.March 12, 2008
...younger people should find it entertaining, and the spoofing will not be a complete waste for many adults.October 19, 2007
There's something very weird about Andrew Fleming's movie, perhaps because it's essentially The Black Dahlia for tweens, with kissing but without the sex or mutilation.June 29, 2007
It's one of the few tween movies that isn't in your face; its limpness becomes appealing.June 16, 2007
Once the rote mystery elements take over, the film devolves into a second-rate whodunit for kids, but even then, Roberts' irrepressible cheeriness and curiosity in the face of danger proves too adorable to resist.
