| |  | DVD Nancy Drew |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Refreshing and fun to watch
I watched the DVD with my 13 year old granddaughter and we loved it.I remembered when my mom bought the first Nancy Drew books for me and my four sisters each read them in turn.I now have them and my daughter read them in her tweens.Now my granddaughter is reading them.Some things are timeless, even with today's hip kids.
Rating:  - Entertaining...but not true to originial character
I enjoyed the movie very much, but was disapointed in the departure from the book series characters.Nancy and Ned were not high school teenagers and Mr. Drew was not a struggling attorney hoping for a better job.There were definite moments of recognizing the 'real' sleuthing of Nancy Drew however, and is a nice one to watch with my daughter - who is 4 - and is now captivated with Nancy Drew!
Rating: - fun adventure of sleuthing
Nancy has relocated to Los Angeles because her father has accepted an assignment there.Promising her father not to do any more sleuthing, Nancy tries to fit in at a nearby high school.However, Nancy is on a different wavelength than with the rest of the students there.She's deemed old fashioned and behind on time, despite her courteous manners.
Meanwhile, while staying at an old mansion, circumstances involving a dead actress, Dehlia Draycott, and a hidden will tempts Nancy into sleuthing.Pretty soon, she discovers herself and new friends in midst of dangers...all behind her father's back.
I found *Nancy Drew* to be an enjoyable film even though I found some parts to be a bit cheesy.Nonetheless, it's a good ol' dose of fun to watch.
Rating: - Fun trip down nostalgic lane
As a child I was a bib fan of the books and wanted for nostalgia purposes to give this movie a shot.I went into it with no expectations what-so-ever.Consequently I found it a fun romp down memory lane.The movie is almost a farcical look at today's youth.Nancy, as a character, has not changed much.She is intelligent and forthright.The world she finds herself has changed.She a blast from the past to the people in LA and as far as her peers go, an unwelcome one.The movie, just as Nancy, doesn't take itself too seriously and that is what makes it enjoyable.You can chuckle and laugh at the predicaments without feeling you are making fun of the movie, which is what I figured I would probably end up doing in order to enjoy myself.Carolyn Keene, whoever she really is, would have been proud to be linked to this movie.
Rating:  - An adorable family film
Cute Emma Roberts carries the iconic role of Nancy Drew effortlessly.The mystery is intriguing-the clothes are adorable and the entertainment value is just pure fun.Highly recommended.
