    I turn 40 on June 23rd, so I am old enough to remember the Nancy Drew books that my sister had. The movie is faithful to her character. Nancy is a precocious, mature young teenager with an aptitude for cracking complex cases. The storyline follows a similar pattern to the books: Nancy gets engrossed in a mysterious case, she makes progress, people threaten her, she gets in trouble, etc.

    In this particular movie, Nancy and her dad are on business in Los Angeles. They are staying at the former mansion of the late actress Dehlia Draycott, who died under notably mysterious circumstances. Nancy is fascinated by the case and works to resolve it, getting herself and her friends in hot water in the process.

    If you’ve never read a Nancy Drew novel, then watching this movie will remind you of a Murder She Wrote episode geared toward the kids. That’s what this movie is in essence (except of course that Nancy is not a writer per se).

    The film makers choose to portray Nancy as a girl who likes old fashioned clothes and old fashioned ways, yet she is also contemporary (she owns an ipod and has an Apple notebook).

    Some of her peers chide her for being out of touch with the times (think Brady Bunch Movie), but Nancy is secure with herself.

    I took some kids from church to the movie today, and they all enjoyed it. My wife liked it, too.

    At last- a teenage girl movie where the NICE girl doesn’t change into a tramp to fit in! My nieces; ages 12, 13, & 14 LOVED it and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it too. The clothes were adorable! The kid did a good job as Nancy Drew. I hope they make more movies in this series.

    This review is from: Nancy Drew (DVD)

    I’m not the harsh critic that others are here. I saw this movie at the theater with my adult sister, adult daughter, and young neice & nephew. All of us enjoyed the it. Beforehand, I wasn’t sure about Emma Roberts as an actor, but she did a good job.

    There’s just is not enough family-type movies (non-animated), to go see these days. That’s why I gave this one a 5-star rating. It was fun to see a haunted house and the variety of locations used. A lot of adventure and ingenuity with Nancy. Interesting characters and good dialogue. I like to see articulate, clever dialogue (does not stoop to swearing & vulgarity to get our attention), as in classic, older movies.

    I plan to buy this Nancy Drew 2007 movie on DVD. And will probabaly see the sequel, too.
