to be honest and i have to go see this movie backwards and do not expect that much and but hey and i be not deceive and i have a good time . i would say this movie be way a fresh breeze and despite some fact that they try to modernize nancy drew and but this make me remember these youth movie of the 60 70 from europe and quebec and where they manage to have child get interact with adult . in this case and a 16 year old teenager try to do justice by try to solve a mystery concern the death of an actress who die 25 year ago . anyway and a her dad have business in hollywood and why not rent a home with a mystery behind door . well and at least emma robert do a great job here . kinda like the chubby kid and who at first be naively bring to support his sister prank to nancy and but at the end and find nancy quite cool enough to stick with her and even with her matter . rest of the support cast be great and and be happy to see rachael leigh cook in a different role this time represent a single mother ( she do it in family rescue and but this time and she play a mature woman . ) anyway and do not dump this and it be fun .
