DVD Reviews of Nancy Drew

DVD Review: Some cleverness,, humor, style, and action.
Summary: 4 Stars


Clever action from the start grabs your attention. Then the film goes unnecessarily slow, without much interest for a 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.

My suggestions for a sequel are under the "comment" button below.

DVD Review: Great music, mom can stand it too
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are sick of the usual tween music and your kids being beat over the head with the idea that they should be a rock star, you'll like this. It has an alternative flair, and some melllow songs, a bit of rap toward the end!

DVD Review: Fun adventure
Summary: 4 Stars

This 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.

DVD Review: Refreshing and fun to watch
Summary: 5 Stars

I watched the DVD with my 13 year old granddaughter and we loved it. I remembered when my mom bought the first Nancy Drew books for me and my four sisters each read them in turn. I now have them and my daughter read them in her tweens. Now my granddaughter is reading them. Some things are timeless, even with today's hip kids.

DVD Review: Entertaining...but not true to originial character
Summary: 3 Stars

I enjoyed the movie very much, but was disapointed in the departure from the book series characters. Nancy and Ned were not high school teenagers and Mr. Drew was not a struggling attorney hoping for a better job. There were definite moments of recognizing the 'real' sleuthing of Nancy Drew however, and is a nice one to watch with my daughter - who is 4 - and is now captivated with Nancy Drew!

Description of Nancy Drew

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.Running Time: 95 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE/FRIENDS UPC:?085391160670 Manufacturer No:?116067
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
