Nancy Drew

Critics Consensus

Emma Roberts is bubbly and charming as Nancy Drew, the junior detective. But despite her best efforts, Nancy Drew still lacks excitement, surprise, and compelling secondary characters.

Audience Reviews for Nancy Drew

  • Feb 23, 2013
    Emma Roberts is Nancy Drew in this campy, lighthearted comedy. When her father takes her to California on a work trip, super-sleuth Nancy Drew uses the opportunity to investigate the case of a Hollywood starlet that died mysteriously. Roberts is brilliantly cast and gives a wonderful performance that's irresistibly charming. And, the way the film integrates an old-fashion mystery into a modern setting is especially well-done. Nancy Drew is a delightful and enchanting film that's good wholesome fun.

    quite clever but not the film it could of been. Emma Roberts is fun in the lead but the overall story is a little over the top and silly at times
    Brendan N Super Reviewer

    Nancy Drew is an embarassment to mystery films and may be fine for small girls, but not for me.
    Jim C Super Reviewer

    Interesting take on the book series, as Roberts portrays the perfect Nancy Drew, a daffodil reeking with old-fashioned feminism.
