Pros: Funny, good script, Emma Roberts is good, Josh Flitter is hilarious...
Cons: ... a few weak moments, but nothing major...

Pros: Friendly for a younger audience. Funny. Emma Roberts is a charmer.
Cons: This just isn't the Nancy Drew we all know and love. Sorry.

Cons: most supporting characters underused, Flitter's Corky irritating, one really bad flub

Pros: Great family movie, fabulous role model for young children, and lots of sleuthing fun
Cons: Unless you're looking for an action flick, this movie probably won't disappoint you a bit
Summary: This updated version of the childhood classic sleuthing series, Nancy Drew, is a refreshing family movie for the summer. My son, age 11, surprised me by asking to go see it this last week. I was surprised, but looked up a few reviews and ... read more
