Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Python Hyena Nancy Drew (2007): Dir: Andrew Fleming / Cast: Emma Roberts, Josh Flitter, Rachel Leigh Cook, Tate Donovan, Max Thieriot: Based on the famed detective series of books featuring the title character. This teen comedy employs adult elements such as murder, single mothers, and Hollywood politics. Director Andrew Fleming succeeds in creating scenery that fans of the novels will appreciate but this is not the intelligent delivery he used in his earlier teen detective comedy, Dick, which is a better showcasing of his talent. Typical setup results in teenage Drew solving a case involving a murdered actress. Structure plays out well with clever clues before dumbing down in its third act. Emma Roberts plays off the innocence of a girl comfortably out of her element but the role is totally unbelievable. One particular bad sequence has her escape from the clutches of a couple idiotic thugs who failed to take reasonable precautions in subduing her. Josh Flitter is standard issue partner in crime. Rachel Leigh Cook has a pivotal role but all too brief up to a point. Tate Donovan as Drew's father is flat. Films such as this are difficult to visualize due to its presentation to its audience. Max Thieriot plays the standard boyfriend who has the personality of sheetrock. In this case it fails in translating the popular teen novels to the silver screen, opting instead for implausibility and idiocy. Score: 4 / 10

gallaghergirl09 I saw this once before I started reading the books, and liked it. I decided to read the books, and I watched it again. Only then did I realize how TERRIBLY WRONG the movie was.Nancy Drew was not such a weak, goody-two-shoes bean pole in the classics. She was strong, stubborn, but still respected her father's wishes. She could take good care of herself. Emma Roberts looks nothing like Nancy Drew would.Carson Drew was never so... over-protective. Sure, he tried to keep Nancy safe, but he was also confident that his daughter could take care of herself.Ned was probably the WORST in inconsistency. They made him look like a desperate, love-sick puppy! Ned was no-where near being like that! And, he has dark brown hair, not blonde.Overall, I think the plot is a little over-the-top in accidents. Plus, the ending is a little hard to follow. I won't spoil anything, but just warning you.

mattkratz This wasn't too bad an adaptation of the book series as the heroine moves to California and tackles a case against her father's wishes. The case involves the mysterious disappearance of a movie star and her long lost child. I thought the movie was just the right combination of suspense, humor, writing, and acting, and Emma Roberts was the perfect choice to play Nancy. The annoying little kid in the film was also good and well-cast. Any fan of the book series will find plenty to like about this movie. I certainly did. I enjoyed watching it. I think it was the perfect start to a movie series. You will enjoy watching it too.*** out of ****
