It's one of the few tween movies that isn't in your face; its limpness becomes appealing.
I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film.
It's got a lot of fun energy, and it's got a certain kind of inspired loopiness that I found entertaining.
Crisply put together but just passably amusing, the movie is innocuous, light, and -- obviously -- very, very slight.
Has all the suspense and intrigue of a less-than-groovy episode of Scooby-Doo.
This Nancy Drew, not too sappy and not at all snappy, looks fully prepared for the next instalment.
There are far worse movies made for teenage girls but with so many alternatives in today's market, this poor girl just doesn't stand out like she used to.
A great coming of age girl movie that prioritzes teen personality and brain power over female body appeal.

...a gentle spoof, a piece of tongue in cheek humor, and most of the time it's pretty amusing.
...younger people should find it entertaining, and the spoofing will not be a complete waste for many adults.
I couldn't resist the sweet and often entertaining misadventures of a truly engaging feminist icon brought onto the screen by Emma Roberts with humility, individuality, and comic timing...
For adults, there are some pleasures to be found here and there, but parents won't be blown away by it the way their daughters will.
I think a character like Nancy Drew can still work in today's pop culture world, but unfortunately the film doesn't believe in her enough.
Big-screen teen sleuth is cute, if a bit bland.
There's something very weird about Andrew Fleming's movie, perhaps because it's essentially The Black Dahlia for tweens, with kissing but without the sex or mutilation.
