'Nancy Drew' still has a televisual feel - more 'Murder, She Wrote' than junior 'Marple'.

It's one of the few tween movies that isn't in your face; its limpness becomes appealing.

I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

It's got a lot of fun energy, and it's got a certain kind of inspired loopiness that I found entertaining.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

This Nancy is a throwback, but a charming one, and Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece) plays her with an irresistible sweetness.
