Nancy Drew
The story tells of a different world of crime where the teenage director Nancy Drew accompanied her father on a business trip to Los Angeles. The director may be aiming at a new and unique experience where she stumbles on evidence of an unresolved crime involving a mysterious death of a beautiful film star, which is surprising.

There's something very weird about Andrew Fleming's movie, perhaps because it's essentially The Black Dahlia for tweens, with kissing but without the sex or mutilation.

This Nancy is a throwback, but a charming one, and Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece) plays her with an irresistible sweetness.

'Nancy Drew' still has a televisual feel - more 'Murder, She Wrote' than junior 'Marple'.

...younger people should find it entertaining, and the spoofing will not be a complete waste for many adults.

I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film.

For adults, there are some pleasures to be found here and there, but parents won't be blown away by it the way their daughters will.

Once the rote mystery elements take over, the film devolves into a second-rate whodunit for kids, but even then, Roberts' irrepressible cheeriness and curiosity in the face of danger proves too adorable to resist.

I think a character like Nancy Drew can still work in today's pop culture world, but unfortunately the film doesn't believe in her enough.

It's got a lot of fun energy, and it's got a certain kind of inspired loopiness that I found entertaining.

Big-screen teen sleuth is cute, if a bit bland.

A great coming of age girl movie that prioritzes teen personality and brain power over female body appeal.

It's one of the few tween movies that isn't in your face; its limpness becomes appealing.
