Nancy Drew

   This movie is about Nancy Drew, played by Emma Roberts, solving a mystery about Dehlia Draycott, a actress found dead in her pool many years ago.  It is a humorous story, and a new twist on the old books what with Nancy being a teenager in high school.   After a hostage situation, her dad tells her to stop sleuthing while they're in California for his job.  But with the house she already picked out having a mystery, she just can't stay away from cracking the case.


   My cousin and I watched it and loved it.  My sister didn't like it because she was really into the the books and doesn't like movies that she considers silly and so she greatly disliked this rendition.  I couldn't disagree with her more.  It's a fun movie, with plenty of secret passages and normal Nancy Drew tricks of the trade.

***** Stars!
It's rated PG for Mild Violence, Thematic Elements and Brief Language

   Also, I don't know that they are making a sequel but the wiki claims they are.
