Starring: Emma Roberts
Rated: PG
Based on the popular book character, Nancy Drew, teenage sleuth, travels cross-country from River Heights, USA to Los Angeles to solve the mystery of a famous movie star who disappeared for 5 months, then reappeared and mysteriously died in her home. She must hide the fact that she is attempting to solve a mystery from her worried, yet strangely absent, father. Of course, Nancy Drew to the rescue - She solves the mystery and survives being frequently mocked for being strange among her classmates.
Becky's rating: B-
I love a good Nancy Drew mystery. This movie is targeted to pre-teen girls, no doubt. For them, it was surely a big hit. For adults, it lacked a little substance. I figured out the mystery about 25 minutes into the movie. I hoped for a little more 'ah-has' and intrigue. However, young Emma Roberts did a superb job acting as Nancy Drew. The story line, though basic, was interesting.
Bottom line: Rent this for your pre-teen/teen. Otherwise, just read the books.
