Product Description:
With her magnifying glass and fingerprint powder in hand, Nancy Drew leaves River Heights for Hollywood... but not to meet that guy on Smallville, as her boyfriend Ned fears. No, she's out to solve one of the greatest mysteries ever: the death of movie star Dehlia Draycott. But the bigger mystery is how our perky, plaid-clad sleuth will fit in with the text-messaging teen queens of mean she meets at Hollywood High.Join Emma Roberts as Nancy in this timeless girl detective mystery as she finds danger, adventure and romance. Because wherever Nancy goes, excitement follows.

Nancy Drew is an iconic girl detective created by Carolyn Keene with a passion for mystery and all things old.The small-town Nancy Drew (played by Julia Roberts' niece Emma Roberts) is about to experience a serious case of culture shock as she heads to Hollywood on an extended business trip with her father Carson Drew (Tate Donovan) and prepares to join the 21st century (well, sort of) at Hollywood High.Having promised her father that she'll give up sleuthing in favor of becoming a "normal" teenager, Nancy tries her best to resist the lure of the age-old mystery of famous actress Dehlia Draycott's (Laura Harring) death, but living in Dehlia's old booby-trapped mansion full of clues proves too powerful a force for Nancy to resist.Feeling completely out of place with high school peers who prove self-absorbed and obsessed with fashion, Nancy makes an unlikely friend in 12-year-old Corky (Josh Flitter), the brother of one of the meanest girls at school.Hormones and hero worship land Corky right in the middle of Nancy's dangerous detective work and inspire some good old-fashioned jealousy when Nancy's close friend Ned (Max Thieriot) visits from River Heights.Nancy's deductive skills are as sharp as ever, and her inspired detective work will profoundly impact the lives of complete stranger Jane Brighton (Rachael Leigh Cook), her own father, and a host of others.Offering a faster pace for modern audiences than the classic Nancy Drew films, this 2007 movie is sure to enthrall a whole new generation of tweens and teens while simultaneously living up to their parents' expectations.Rated PG for mild violence, thematic material, and brief language. --Tami Horiuchi

- Can't Stop Watching It Over and Over!
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.

- You have to make a choice
When you're making a movie about a nostalgic subject, you have to make a choice: Either make a parody, poking fun at the original (as the Brady Bunch movies did), or try to be faithful, at least in spirit, to the original concept. You can't take a middle road.
Yet that's what the makers of this movie tried to do. Nancy was sarcastically portrayed -- for laughs--as a "little Miss Perfect" (which was not true to the original stories), and at the same time shown as the bright, spunky crime-solver. ... Read More

- A 60%
I thought the movie had good action in parts of it. overall I'd say on a 1-10 scale I'd give it a 6. I thought in kinda dragged on slow. overall it was pretty good. I'd recommend it for 8-12 years of age because it's really more of a kid movie.
Rating: - "It really gets my goat when someone tries to kill me. It's so rude! But it only makes me want to try harder."
Man, I am just wondering how many Man points I lose by admitting that I actually used to read Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden mysteries when I was a kid, these being an offshoot of reading pretty much all the Hardy Boys and the Three Investigators books. But a bit of back history: Nancy Drew's been around for over 75 years, having debuted way back in 1930 in THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK by "Carolyn Keene" (actually a pseudonym for a gang of writers). This isn't the first time that Nancy's been on the big screen. ... Read More
Rating: - Good for kids and pre-teens, painless for adults
The conceit of this 2007 update/reboot of the Nancy Drew franchise (which over the decades has included books, movies, TV shows, and probably other offerings I'm unaware of) is that everything in Nancy's world has been updated except Nancy herself.Nancy as seen here prefers to dress like a young girl from the 1940's and 50's ("I like old-fashioned things") and has the polite manners of that era, too, which will likely make older viewers sigh with nostalgia.
With her retro ways and her sometimes ... Read More
