A very draggy affair because Harriet's exploits are treated like an episodic laundry list.
...in busily updating the '60s story for the more worldly '90s, the filmmakers have ended up, ironically, with a product much more naively juvenile than the original.
Harriet the Spy has real character in some of its details, but it never feels like much more than a low-budget TV show.
...a tedious adaptation...
There's a certain amateurish quality about Harriet the Spy, but it's more the TV-trained grownups behind the camera...than the pint-sized thespians in front of it.
The film's OK, a little thick with sensory overload, but it wasn't made for old guys like me.
Audience Reviews for Harriet the Spy
This is another movie that really inspired me when I was younger. Many people can relate to Harriet's problems in this movie, or have wanted to be spies like her at some point in their childhood. This is a good movie. Also, this movie is based on a great children's book.
Super Reviewer
True to the book, but it's fitted more for kids, so my rating is based off how I interpret it.
Super Reviewer
Probably Michelle Trachtenberg's best performance. I thought this movie was okay as a kid, but now, I like it even better. I can't quite pinpoint the quality - perhaps it's the bluesy groove or Rosie O'Donnell's straightforward delivery of the life lessons.
