Adventure. Mystery Based on characters created by Carolyn Keene, Nancy Drew follows Nancy (Emma Roberts) as she accompanies her father, Carson Drew (Tate Donovan), to Los Angeles on one of his business trips and stumbles across evidence about a long-unsolved crime involving the mysterious death of a beautiful movie star. Nancy’s resourcefulness and personal responsibility are put to the test when she finds herself in the middle of the fast-living, self-indulgent world of Hollywood. [+]

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"That this is just about passable as a divorced parent's weekend treat is down to Roberts' charm and the timeless appeal of Nancy herself (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[The disappointment] is that it trusts neither its heroine nor its audience enough to approach its material with the confidence and conviction that Carolyn Keene (...) brought to the [book] franchise."	NEG
United States	Tom Charity CNN	"Crisply put together but just passably amusing, the movie is innocuous, light, and -- obviously -- very, very slight"	NEU
United Kingdom	Anna Smith BBC	"The age-old mystery doesn't exactly thrill, but there's humour here and there and a swotty heroine that parents, at least, will approve of (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"This is quite dull (...) Roberts is acceptable in the lead role, and Josh Flitter puts in a relatively amusing turn (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
