Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I just finished watching Nancy Drew and what can I say is this film is good for the people who like detective wannabe things and story is pretty good I really love it you know,I want to watch this movie but,I don't have time.I really love this the actress who play Nancy is pretty good she is cute and fun also.I think for film like this I think is so so because I have see a good detective films than this but,I enjoyed watching it.

Stepping into the shoes of Bonita Granville, Pamela Sue Martin, and others who played Carolyn Keene's famous teenage sleuth, Emma Roberts now steps into the role with a nice innocence in her persona that is most refreshing. She and her lawyer father Carson Drew played here by Tate Donovan go to Hollywood for an extended bit. So much so that Nancy is enrolled in some posh Tinseltown high school for the term, her father's business will take that long.Unlike other Nancy Drew incarnations here Carson Drew is not terribly supportive of his daughter's sleuthing ways. He has her promise not to be doing that and just enjoy the movie colony. But Roberts gives a promise that's as good as drunk's promise not to imbibe.How could she resist when she's in the house of a late movie queen who was done in in a still unsolved murder case. Do you doubt that Nancy Drew isn't going to solve it. Let's put her to work on what happened to Thelma Todd?Max Thierot plays her supportive boyfriend Ned Nickerson from the teen novels and there's a nice part for Barry Bostwick as a Hollywood lawyer and powerbroker. Bruce Willis even appears as himself as Roberts crashes one of his sets.This is an enjoyable family film, recommended highly.

Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts) is a mystery solving machine. She joins her lawyer father Carson (Tate Donovan) on a business trip to L.A. Bess (Amy Bruckner) and Georgie (Kay Panabaker) are her best friends. Ned Nickerson (Max Thieriot) is secretly in love with her. She picked an abandoned mansion with a movie star murder mystery to live in but her father makes her promise not to sleuth anymore. It's a struggle to fit into Hollywood high school and not to sleuth. Her only new friend is Corky (Josh Flitter) while Inga Veinshtein (Daniella Monet) is the mean girl. In the end, she can't stop investigating with her friends' help.This is a mishmash of lots of different things while trying to revive this old franchise. The murder mystery is very serious. There is a light Nickelodeon touch with teen star Emma Roberts. There is a good fish out of water story but I don't like the Hollywood setting. I would have liked her hometown girlfriends to get back into the movie with Ned and stay until the end. There are even an explosion, kidnapping and near-death action sequences. This movie is doing too many different things although I like some of those things.

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 :.
