Carolyn Keene's most loved character - Nancy Drew - finally makes
it onto celluloid in this 2007 movie. For generations of fans
worldwide, the name Nancy Drew is synonymous with adventure. This
young amateur detective has a mind of her own, a passion for
solving mysteries and a reputation for getting into - and out of
- some very y situations.
Emma Roberts stars as the resourceful teen detective, who leaves
her friendly hometown of River Heights for the West Coast and
enrolls at Hollywood High. There, her unique personal style
immediately sets her apart from her self-absorbed, fast-living
peers, especially reigning mean girls Inga and Trish, who can't
quite figure her out but know that everything about her is
different. Their less-than-warm reception might bother the
average new girl in town, but not Nancy. She has more important
things to think about - namely, a brand new mystery. Even though
she promised her worried Dad (Tate Donovan as Carson Drew) that
she'd quit the "sleuthing" business, it isn't long before Nancy
gets a lead on one of the greatest unsolved cases of all time:
the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of famous
actress Dehlia Draycott.

-----------
Nancy Drew is an iconic girl detective created by Carolyn Keene
with a passion for mystery and all things old. The small-town
Nancy Drew (played by Julia Roberts' niece Emma Roberts) is about
to experience a serious case of culture shock as she heads to
Hollywood on an extended business trip with her her Carson
Drew (Tate Donovan, The OC) and prepares to join the 21st century
(well, sort of) at Hollywood High. Having promised her her
that she'll give up sleuthing in favour of becoming a "normal"
teenager, Nancy tries her best to resist the lure of the age-old
mystery of famous actress Dehlia Draycott's (Laura Harring,
Mulholland Drive) death, but living in Dehlia's old booby-trapped
mansion full of clues proves too powerful a force for Nancy to
resist. Feeling completely out of place with high school peers
who prove self-absorbed and obsessed with fashion, Nancy makes an
unlikely friend in 12-year-old Corky (Josh Flitter), the brother
of one of the meanest girls at school. Hormones and hero worship
land Corky right in the middle of Nancy's dangerous detective
work and inspire some good old-fashioned jealousy when Nancy's
close friend Ned (Max Thieriot) visits from River Heights.
Nancy's deductive skills are as sharp as ever, and her inspired
detective work will profoundly impact the lives of complete
stranger Jane Brighton (Rachael Leigh Cook, She's The One), her
own her, and a host of others. Offering a faster pace for
modern audiences than the classic Nancy Drew films, this 2007
movie is sure to enthrall a whole new generation of tweens and
teens while simultaneously living up to their parents', or older
siblings' expectations. --Tami Horiuchi

Synopsis
--------
Legendary teenage sleuth Nancy Drew enters the 21st century in
this feature film from director Andrew Fleming (Nixon, The
Craft). In Nancy's (Emma Roberts) latest mystery, she and her
her (Tate Donovan) make a temporary move from rural River
Heights to Los Angeles. Determined to make the most of her stay,
Nancy has chosen them a rental home with a notorious past: the
mysterious death of its owner, starlet Dehlia Draycott, in the
early 1980s. The closer Nancy edges towards the truth, the more
trouble she encounters from someone who clearly doesn't want the
mystery solved. To make matters worse, old-fashioned Nancy
doesn't quite fit in with the cool kids--or anyone else--at
Hollywood High, except for younger would-be Romeo, Corky (Josh
Flitter).
