This movie is based on the popular series of Nancy Drew books, that center around a teenage girl who solves mysteries. Emma Roberts plays Nancy.

At the beginning of the movie Nancy and her dad leave their small town of River Heights and move to California where her dad has a new job. Their new house has a mystery to it: a famous movie star lived and died there a long time ago and no one was ever able to figure out what happened. Nancy immediately gets on the case, while also trying to get used to life in her new school.

Emma Roberts is fantastic as Nancy. She's adorable and I think she did her own stunts as well. She's going to be a major movie star! Other actors include Josh Flitter and Tate Donovan. Bruce Willis even has a cameo as himself.

I liked everything about "Nancy Drew". The acting is solid, the story is interesting, there's plenty of action and a lot of laughs. I'm not sure why more kids and parents didn't see it when it was in theaters. It should be a big hit on DVD.

The movie is rated PG. Anyone old enough to read Nancy Drew books will love this film.

On The Official Kid Critic Report Card, "Nancy Drew" gets a solid B. It's one of the best family films of 2007!
