Nancy Drew

3.5 STARS

Cute, with some punch. I rather enjoyed this one - for a girly-kid movie. I wasn't expecting much, but I thought it was pretty fun. The bad guys are the same old infamous goofy "Horace and Jasper" characters, but it fit the movie.

I loved this one. It's the best kid's movie I've seen in a while. A one word description might be "cute." It's not the same "Nancy" as the books but still a lovable one. It wasn't over the top cheesy like a lot of kid's movies, although I could have done without the annoying, "surface-y " California girls. The story was engaging and more action-packed than expected (for a kid's movie).

I think this is one even boys would enjoy.

Oh, and if anyone from the family is reading this: the scene with the cameo is shot on Olvera Street in Los Angeles which we visited on our big family vacation in the summer of 2005. It's the street with all of the little vendors, a fountain, and of course, being that it was a trip with Dad, a Mexican restaurant.
