Watch Nancy Drew For Free

A Disappointing Continuation

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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

Nancy Drew (Maggie Lawson) starts college with best friends Bess Marvin and George Fayne. She has garnered some fame from her sleuthing in River Heights High. Duke Shifflin is her journalism professor. Hank Luckman is bumbling student. Bess wants to pledge a sorority and Nancy goes in support. Christina 'Teeny' Timkins is the bossy girl who has to pledge her mother's sorority. Allison Price is Tri-Pi president. Her boyfriend star linebacker Jesse goes into a coma rumored to be drugs and Nancy Drew senses a mystery.I am not a big fan of Nancy Drew. I have never read any of the books. I don't know any Nancy Drew story. The TV Nancy Drew with edge for me is Veronica Mars. Nancy is new to college and it would be better for her to start out alone. While Bess and George are a part of her series, nothing is more TV than having a bunch of kids go from high school to college together. That's not a good thing. I rather have the teen Nancy Drew in high school. This is starting a teen soap in year five and that's usually a rough spot on the decline for almost every one of these shows. This is never going to work as a pilot.

This movie on TV could've been more based off the books. In the books Nancy NEVER says bad words! 10 mins into the movie Nancy say a little bad word but parents might not want their kids saying it! This movie made her to bossy and wasn't Nancy Drew type. So i say the movie was okay but could be better. Kids who have not the read the books and only saw the movie on TV would like it, but i am reading the books and i'm a huge fan of Nancy Drew. Therefore this movie needed 1. better actors, 2. better director, 3. better everything! Nancy Drew is supposed to be a role model for girls of all ages, and her getting into jail while sluething(looking for clues) is just not role model form. This movie could be better but, if I had to choose between 1-10 of rating I would choose a 6. I hope this has helped you in choosing what to watch. Thanks and remember Nancy Drew rocks!

As a fan of the Nancy Drew books, I was eager to watch this movie. However, while watching it I found that it was disloyal to the series. Nancy Drew in the books is smart, courageous and a role model. The Nancy Drew of this movie is arrogant and self-centred. Bess was portrayed as a Barbie dumb-blonde stereotype, but George's character seemed almost true to the books although she had hardly any lines. The new, heavily accented character 'Teeny' was introduced in this movie as an annoying character who I assume was meant to bring light relief, but instead brought annoying stereotypical Spanish phrases and her character lacked depth. Nancy Drew's smart-Aleck comments made her come across as conceited, she may have needed some to show her confidence, but showing off - especially in front of Detective Daly - was unnecessary. There were plot holes in this movie also, such as when Nancy is at Detective Daly's office and can tell where his father is just by looking at the photos on his desk, yet she can only tell he is left handed when he begins to write, although he has been wearing a gun holster across his shoulders the whole time which clearly shows he is a lefty. This Nancy Drew movie, although fresh and probably popular with other teenage movie watchers, was nothing compared to the great stories of the books, which were complex and did not dumb themselves down to what movie makers think the kids of today want. We deserve better than that.

Maggie Lawson has all the necessary All-American Girl looks to play the feisty teen-aged sleuth and she's okay in a fast-talking way to be convincing as an investigative detective. But unfortunately, the plot gets bogged down in a lot of petty sorority doings without a hint of mystery showing up until later on--and by that time you don't care.The Nancy Drew of old is not here--instead we have a brassy, overbearing heroine with a rich girl background and her equally obnoxious teen-age girlfriends all given the latest slang expressions and one-liners in a script that's determined to update the famous series if not improve it. None of the happenings have the sort of mysterious quality called for in the Carolyn Keene mysteries.Another bad case of "updating" in an attempt to modernize the old-fashioned charm of the original. It rings false from beginning to end.
