Watch Nancy Drew For Free

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie has some serious deficiencies by modern standards: No sex. One kiss. A little bit of violence.Had it come out 40 years ago or so, it would be considered a classic. But in this cynical modern age--the worst aspects of which Nancy seems to reject--people are missing the ingredients that make for a successful Hollywood hit.I enjoyed the movie. It's a bit predictable, the children's acting is uneven, and the plot was a bit silly. But Emma Roberts as Nancy was outstanding. I enjoyed watching her interpret her character with such sincerity. She was witty, composed, in control, and powerful.My main regret is that they've waited so long to produce the sequel; Nancy was 16 or 17 when this movie was made, and she'll be 20 in 2011. But, Hollywood has a way with makeup and smoke and mirrors, so we may not notice too much of an age difference.

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

I rented this for my 8 year old daughter several times, but never watched it with her (dad watched it with her instead). This 3rd time around, I was pulled in by the cool songs I was hearing in the movie. Turns out, the film is really well done. Directing, casting, production design--all nicely done. They've modernized Nancy and the story just a bit, but have kept it very sweet. This Nancy is a bit zanier than the Nancy I remember (the one from the first 50 or so novels was more serious), but she still comes off as intelligent, compassionate and an all around likable character. Ned is darling and Nany's young sidekick is hilarious. I agree with a previous reviewer who felt that some of the Los Angeles sets could have been a bit better, but I have to say I really loved the accuracy of the Old World mansion with it's style of the time (the 70's) popping up in parts of the house. Anyway, all in all it was a really fun movie!

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
