I love Nancy Drew (and the Hardy Boys). In my childhood I read them all, along with Trixie Belden and the rest of teenage sleuth type of books.
After recently watching the abysmal portrayal of Nancy Drew in a CW TV series I was hesitant to watch this movie thinking it would be another attempt to re-invent Nancy Drew, but I'm glad I did and I'm glad they didn't.
This movie IS Nancy Drew. This is the book Sleuthing teen brought into the 21st century and made into a film. Yes the plot is simple and light, JUST LIKE THE BOOKS were.
If you want deep, complicated, Oscar likely movies, then this is not for you, but if you have read the Nancy Drew Books and want to see those books portrayed on the screen, then see this movie.
