NANCY DREW (Theatrical Release USA 2007)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

Nancy Drew—live action film based on the Nancy Drew novel set—has a sound, average script that does credit to the original novels. It’s a piece of uniform, average story telling, but it’s sound and turns into a good afternoon film watch that serves the purpose of a decent mystery story for the teen audience.
