i read all of nancy draw a a preteen and collect the book a a grow up . i love the effect use at the end ( and a little bit at the begin ) of the movie where line drawing in the style of the book morph into scene from the movie . it be a neat way of point out connection between situation in the movie and the book . for example and the scene with the oriental antique dealer be very reminiscent of many scenario i remember from the book . i think ned be perfectly cast and and emma robert be a wonderful 21st century interpretation of nancy drew . ( just like the picture of betty crocker and she keep up with the time . ) .
