Sleuthing Sundays - Nancy Drew movie (2007)

This has become one of my favorite rainy day/nothing to watch movies.  Nancy has benefited from the updates while still retaining her essence.  Emma Roberts does a nice job with Nancy, perfecting that know-it-all-but-still-super-nice thing that Nancy Drew has.  I miss Bess and George and wish that they had been included more.  I was glad to see Ned (sidenote: the kid who plays him looks a lot like the boy who played Ted in the old 1930's movies) and I'm happy that he has a bigger role.  Same old Ned though always showing up to be the muscle and be the sort of boyfriend. 

The wardrobe is amazing.  I covet the clothes that Nancy wears.  So classic and chic.  Very cute.  I wish they would make another one, but one in River Heights and not on location.  Though Nancy goes away a lot in the books so it is not unprecedented.

    Nina - It is very cute. I don't think she's been in too many other movies.
