Editorial Review: Description: With her magnifying glass and fingerprint powder in hand, Nancy Drew leaves River Heights for La-La-Land...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. DVD Features: Featurette Gag Reel Music Video Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Guess what? There's going to be a sequel!I used to love toddling down to the library when I was younger, and taking out as many books as I could, and reading them. When I got a little bit older, you were allowed to take out 12 books at a time. Which was just heaven for me! And yes, I used to take out 12 books at a time, and return them on time, if not before time. They were normally Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley High and occasionally Nancy Drew books. But my library never had that many Nancy Drew books, and if they did have them, it was ...

She is also a highly competent amateur detective who has set her sights on investigating the death of a starlet before they even hit town. Unfortunately, while Nancy is beloved by all in her hometown of River Heights, she is rejected by her new classmates in LA, and finds the bad guys a whole lot more dangerous than the ones she left behind. I've never read any of the Nancy Drew ... Read More Rating: - Some cleverness, humor, style, and actionClever action from the start grabs your attention. Then the film goes unnecessarily slow, without much interest for a short while, but fortunately soon picks up speed and interest through to the end. It is interesting to see Nancy's preppy but fashionable clothes and her cool roadster from the 1930's. Some humor. Some cleverness. Some action. Nancy is charming and likeable. The supporting characters aren't bad, but are not memorable. The behind-the-scenes extras are interesting. ...

It has an alternative flair, and some melllow songs, a bit of rap toward the end! Rating: - Fun adventureThis was a fun movie. The acting was pretty good, the plot moved along, and the mystery topic was not simple or fluffy. The cameos by big-name actors were neat. I probably won't buy it on DVD, but it was well worth my time. Browse for similar items by category:
