Plot: A resourceful teenage super-sleuth finds her investigative skills put to the ultimate test as director Andrew Fleming and screenwriter Tiffany Paulsen revive the character originally made famous by author Carolyn Keene. Upon leaving her quaint hometown of River Heights and arriving in Los Angeles with her father, Carson (Tate Donovan), precocious small-town teen Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts) enrolls in Hollywood High and discovers just how different life on the West Coast really is. A true original in the land where Rodeo Drive dictates what's in at any given moment, Nancy stands apart from the pack as much for her penny loafers as for her sincere, non-acerbic attitude and keen study skills -- all of which make the non-ironic goody two-shoes an object of scorn for fashion-conscious mean girls Inga (Daniella Monet) and Trish (Kelly Vitz). Concerns about how to fit in soon take a back seat to more pressing issues, however, when Nancy, having previously promised her worried father that she would give up sleuthing, stumbles across a series of clues that may lead her to find out what caused the death of beautiful Hollywood movie star Dehlia Draycott -- who perished years ago under particularly mysterious circumstances. Upon discovering that she and her father are currently residing in the very same mansion that Draycott once called home, the prospect of solving one of Hollywood's biggest mysteries simply proves too tantalizing for the brilliant young detective to resist. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

My 8-yr-old watched this movie DOZENS of times in the first week we owned it!

My 8-yr-old recently discovered Nancy Drew and loves her! She's a bit too young to fully comprehend the book series (she has no trouble reading the books but doesn't yet completely grasp the big picture of what she's reading) so we recently rented (and then purchased) the Nancy Drew movie. The outcome? She LOVED it. Literally watched it a dozen times in the first week we got it! Nice family fun movie! You can read some of the other reviews for details on the characters but all in all even I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would! Highly recommended.

Nancy Drew review
Added 10/20/2009

I liked this movie very much. It is an interesting story and one you can't guess the end. Lots of fun. The young woman who plays Nancy Drew is very believable as her character. I bought this for my granddaughters.

From classic to modern
Added 7/31/2009

As a Nancy Drew fan since about the age of 8, I had a lot of expectations for this movie. Some things were just out of sync- take the age of the characters. Nancy Drew is out of high school in the books. Ned is in college in the books. The main characters for the movie, have been made younger. (Nancy's hair is reddish blonde in the books- not red.)
New Nancy Drew still drives her classic blue roadster. Her clothes are more from the books, so she stands out. She is very smart and is a great detective. Some parts of the movie are very unbelievable, but all in all it is a family friendly movie. My nephews both enjoyed it.
I would rate it a 3 1/2 stars.

Can't Stop Watching It Over and Over!
Added 6/13/2009

From the first time I saw this little movie on TV, I wanted to see it again. The characters have great chemistry and I love Miss Roberts as Nancy Drew! I only hope this becomes a series...I know the actress will soon be too old, but one can only hope! By the way, I am nearing 60 years of age and watch this alone as well as with my granddaughter.
