I think it would have been wonderful if they'd made a period piece, with Nancy and Ned and George and Bess in the 1930s or 1940s, but I'm Studio Wisdom (tm) said no one would go see it then.
Or if they were going to modernize it, make it satirical a la the Brady Bunch movie-- there's something about Drew and butch George, girly Bess and pencil-necked Ned that is so charmingly stuck in that era.
Not that I didn't fucking love the modern Nancy Drews and the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys supermysteries, because I DID.
I wonder if Bess or George were in the trailer, but unnamed. Her main companion was a chubby boy.
She looks retro in comparison to the other characters, and that is noted. But *my* Nancy Drew (lord, I sound insane) was worldly and a jetsetter. Remember the spider sapphire in Kenya and all that?
This new one looks very small town, but they are obviously going to let her win.
It's creepy how much she looks like Julia Roberts in this picture.
That's all I got.
Isn't she Julia's niece? Why is that creepy?
Nancy Drews / Hardy Boys supermysteries!
Yep, that's all I've got.
I thought that the girl in the hat was probably George.
I don't know -- I'm not a giant Nancy Drew fan so my opinion is suspect. I thought it looked like a fun popcorn type movie.
The girl in the hat is, I think, one of the chic chicks and she takes a liking to Nancy and tries to help her out.
Which could be George. It's just not my George, dammit.
Does every teen movie *have* to have the Makeover Montage?
Still love the "Clueless" one, but that doesn't mean I need forty more, you know?
Isn't she Julia's niece? Why is that creepy?
She is her neice. It just looks like her Mini-Me or something. Not creepy, some other word. Maybe a German word.
