I thought it was fantastic and felt quite close to the original classic Nancy Drew series from the 30's - 70's. If any of you are Nancy fans I recommend you give this movie a shot - it's chock full of mystery, it's funny and Nancy is delightful! And for once Hollywood finally made a film that showed clean, decent behaivour. No swearing, or wind jokes or gross things - it's really the sort of clean behaviour that I love in all Enid's books - and shows our heroes with nice manners.

And Nancy's little outfits are so cute - I wish they made clothes like that now! I could picture Anne from The Famous Five in them.


hey!! i dont think so that her moive fine but it is not much interesting while the book is

I have seen the movie but didn't like it as much as the books.The Nancy in the movie looks very different than the Nancy I had thought of.

Do you mean that someone has written books about Nancy Drew when she was a child? If so, I hadn't heard about those.

I think there is a series now about Nancy as a child, "Nancy drew diaries" springs to mind but I may be confusing a few of the newer series/spinoffs.

Even though I like these books,I prefer the ones in which she is a teenager. That is much more interesting.
