Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Nancy is looking at the movies Dehlia Draycott had been in, several titles are names of Nancy Drew books.
- GoofsWhen Nancy spends her first night at the home in Hollywood, there is a digital clock/radio on her bedroom nightstand. In the next scene, it has been replaced by a old-fashioned wind-up alarm clock, which awakens her. Nancy mentioned she likes old-fashioned things. It is possible she took the alarm-clock which had been there and replaced it with her own.
- Quotes
Nancy Drew: Ned can I ask you a question?
Ned Nickerson: Mhm.
Nancy Drew: Can you tell when a girl looks at you and is thinking how much she likes you and is wondering if you like her and thinking how important it is for you to say how you feel before she says anything more about how she feels about you or anyone else they might be jealous of because she's already said how she feels how she's said in her own way?
Ned Nickerson: Uh, can you repeat the question?
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening sequence, the camera pans through shelves holding actual Nancy Drew books.

I would say this movie is way a fresh breeze, despite some facts that they tried to modernize Nancy Drew, but this made me remember these youth movies of the 60-70s from Europe and Quebec, where they manage to have children getting interacting with adults. In this case, a 16 year-old teenager tries to do justice by trying to solve a mystery concerning the death of an actress who died 25 years ago. Anyway, as her dad had business in Hollywood, why not rent a home with a mystery behind doors ? Well, at least Emma Roberts does a great job here. Kinda like the chubby kid, who at first is naively brought to support his sister's pranks to Nancy, but at the end, found Nancy quite cool enough to stick with her, even with her matters...
Rest of the supporting cast is great, and was happy to see Rachael Leigh Cook in a different role this time: a single mother (she did it in Family Rescue, but this time, she plays a mature woman...) Anyway, don't dump this, it is fun !
