Nancy Drew - Movie Review

"Nancy Drew"

Jeff: ‘Nancy Drew’ lost after refusing to pick one path

Plot: It’s been 60 years since the teen sleuth has been on the big screen and this time Emma Roberts (Julia’s niece) stars as the teen sleuth who movies to Los Angeles with her father (Tate Donovan). Once there, she goes back and forth on whether or not to poke her noise into the mystery death of a famous actress.

Who’s it for: This one is mainly for teenage girls, without enough to satisfy mystery fans. And I question whether the older “Nancy Drew” fan base will be entertained.

Expectations: I never read “Nancy Drew” or “The Hardy Boys.” I was a “Choose Your Own Adventure” guy, but I was looking forward to seeing what could be done with this film. After all, they have already planned a sequel, so the studio believes in it.
