the sets and design are very colourfilled, and the use of modern technology are moderatly and clever used. the actors does a fine job, they even have vocal pureness so even the tinnitusated grumpy old man didnt need any subtitles.
the film are well made, and bears the message without vfx and cgi, the language are plain, and the plot iand story are really working. books to impress my childhood girlfriend, though i prefered the Hardy boys better. its an modernized, not to overexhaggerated detective story, that are for all ages, i myself read some of the N.D. so that maybe a good quality sign, that the grumpy old man had a time warp while watching nancy drew. I have never experienced a film speeding as fast as this, its 80 minutes were gone like the wind. I'd have loved to see movies done of the '90's books, as well.
If you've never read the books, you could really enjoy this movie.īut, it's true what they say: books are almost always better than the movie.Īlthough, if they decide to make a movie of the next book about the mystery of "Lilac Inn", I'd still watch it.

I've been reading Nancy Drew books for years-the ones from the 60's and '90's. When I saw the title while surfing through my TV guide list, I was excited.
