August 23, 2008This film may be geared towards pre-teen girls but it's a lot of fun. Mainly because Emma Roberts is just so damn adorable. She's the cutest thing ever. She has a fairly good supporting cast, especially Danielle Monet who is just as great as Emma Roberts. Flitter is annoying as h... ...( read more )

July 12, 2008A childish movie. Has all the normal Nancy Drew clichés, but does not transfer well to the 21st century.

July 2, 2009Nice to see a film about teens that plays down money and sex. Sure this flick is silly and simple, but it?s also under 100 minutes which these days is almost an automatic 3 stars.

I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
This Nancy is a throwback, but a charming one, and Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece) plays her with an irresistible sweetness. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Has all the suspense and intrigue of a less-than-groovy episode of Scooby-Doo.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
In many ways, it's steadfastly adult, a picture that admits, with every frame, a desire to hang on to everything we value about traditional modes of movie storytelling, instead of just trying to figur... full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Fleming's movie doesn't fuss much with originality or storytelling logic but it does play nice from beginning to end, its positive messages bundled up with self-aware humor and empowered feminine pep. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
An awkward mixture of send-up and formula kid's comedy that's only marginally better than the Olsen twins direct-to-video detective series. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Roberts is pleasant enough but, like her fellow TV-bred teen stars, there's not a lot of there yet, let alone enough to suggest a corn-fed Sherlock Holmes. full review

April 9, 2008hey, i just love this movies when it first came out i whent ot the store and baught it but i hadnt seen it before then. after buying it i watched it and loved it i knew that what i baught was good and now i watch it every time i can! when i first got it i watched it evryday but now im too busy so i watch oit when ever i can. this was a really well done movie. i think ill go watch t right now. but first i just want to say that you should make a third one where she solves the mistery of the locness monster and mising jewels in scotland! at least i think it was scotland i can remember i havent watched it in a while. but i would definetly buy nancydrew 2 if there ever was one. that wold be kool, but make sure youget all the same charactetrs if you do make one becuase i hate it when there are different characters than the first one. but if you absolutliy cant get the same ones then i guess thats ok. but i would so buy the nancy drew2 if there was one no matter what! well see bye bye.see ya.

September 3, 2007My family loved this movie. My daughter and her firneds love the books and computer games. They loved the movie. I cant wait for it to come out on DVD in November...Great stocking stuffer!
I was hoping they would make sequels but someone said the movie wasn't a big enough success? Is that true? If so, thats a shame. So much better than taking the girls to see that Olson Twin and Hilary Duff crap! -
August 24, 2007it's an alright movie but at one stage it made my friend and i jump out of our seats

July 28, 2007I loved the movie so much that I had to buy some more Nancy Drew books, and watch the movie twice at the movie theater. Too bad nobody in this area wanted to see it.
