It was a "meh" movie and now I'm just adding more words.

I really was hoping they'd nail the movie this time around.Is this a disappointment? Yes. While most peeps want the directors to follow the book more closely I was hoping they'd break free like the ones staring Bonita Granville back in the 30's. The truth is,Ms. Drew from the books is perfect and it works for her too. But on screen, especially since this one is UPDATED,they might have wanted to do something more with her character.We find Nancy her usual sunshine-y self. She stands out among SPOILER SPOILER her peers not only because she's smart and polite but she looks like she just came from out a time machine. Her father, once so proud of her sleuthing, wants her to become a "NORMAL" teenager (yeah, he's a jerk). There are two new girls in this one, supposedly modern day teens who pick on Nancy and by the end kinda become her friends. Bess and George are removed and Corky is added. Strangely enough, I didn't mind him...who I did mind however was (the insecure)Ned. There was well, no reason for him to be there-just to provide a person to kiss the heroine at the end.Bottom line: Fans of Nancy Drew- you're probably not going to like this one, especially if Nancy's perfect demeanor annoyed you in the book. Go expecting rubbish-that's the only way you'll enjoy this.Non Nancy Drew Fans- If you're a teenager with time on her hands and nothing in your head. This is one for you! Beware though, Peeps who might want to try the books after seeing this movie: the books are nothing like this.The poor Carolyn Keene's (I say Keene's because several of people under the name Carolyn Keene wrote them) are probably turning in their graves.Psst! If you want a Nancy Drew that you can enjoy, check out the black and white ones from the late 30's! But be warned, Nancy is nothing like she is in the books. And all the better

this movie was so childish.watch the old 1940's nancy drew movies, they are much much much better.the girl in the movie looks and acts like she's 13. nothing she does is believable.they took a series of good mystery books and turned it into a movie for 10 year olds who probably never even read her books.this movie was a insult to the nancy drew series.they need to make nancy like 19-21, and have more serious stuff.watch it if its free, and nothing else on.i rate it a 3 on a stink-a-roo meter

Who knew a Nancy Drew adventure could be this dull! Emma Roberts tries her best as the young detective who's fond of 'sleuthing', but the script constantly lets her down. There are a few moments of mild satire scattered throughout, with Nancy presented in a 'fish out of water' scenario, but the whole thing has a boring made-for-TV look. The plot is standard Nancy Drew with a mystery involving an old Hollywood star and a seemingly haunted house. This film is best suited for young girls (around twelve) who will probably identify with Nancy Drew. Adults beware.Overall 4/10
