A Bit Disappointing...,
By
This review is from: Nancy Drew (2007) (DVD)
I really enjoyed all of the Nancy Drew novels as a young girl. In fact, I credit them for firmly instilling my love of reading. When I heard this movie was coming to my local theatre, I could hardly wait to see it. I wanted to relive some of the joy that the Carolyn Keene novels earlier brought to me.The plot was weaker than what I associate with the novels, although I must admit, I am now writing this review from an adult perspective. Nancy just wasn't as spunky as her character used to be and her boyfriend, Ned was considerably more whimpy than I recall from the novels. Nancy's famous lawyer father, Carson Drew, albeit, usually somewhere in the background, was the supportive Dad that I recall from my childhood readings. It's a good, but not great, Mother and daughter movie. Boys and their Dads may have a bit of trouble establishing the requisite character identification to make the movie meaningful for them. Let's be honest: it's primarily a "chick flick", in my view. if you're a Mom with daughters and you want a bonding experience with them, get this movie and settle back for a nostalgic evening although not as good as you likely will remember from your childhood. In my view, the novels are better but the movie may lead to your daughter wanting to learn more about Nancy Drew and her adventures. Better order a few of the companion novels, also!

a good role model for kids,

This review is from: Nancy Drew (2007) (DVD)
this movie isn't horrible,by any means,but for me,it's too sedate.ijust didn't find the story,or the characters engaging.things actually do pick up in the last twenty minutes or so.there's very little violence and no foul language and the character of Nancy Drew is certainly a good role model,not just for girls,but for kids in general.if you don't mind a movie with a sort of laid back approach to things,you might like this movie.this movie is certainly something the whole family could watch.i actually found the special features more interesting than the movie,but that's just me.if you're into lots of action,this might not be your cup of tea.for me,this movie left me a bit empty after watching.still,it's a pleasant,entertaining enough diversion.for me,Nancy Drew (2007)is a 3/5

Kids ages 8-13 Will Love it!!!,
By Dr. Marc Axelrod "PM" - Published on Amazon.com
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. 26 of 27 people found the following review helpful

An INNOCENT, fun teen movie!,
By Louisa S - Published on Amazon.com
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.

fun movie for all,
By deb "debbie_lb" - Published on Amazon.com
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. |
