Film: Nancy Drew

I was going to write a review, but then I read this one, with this summary:

Nancy Drew is wholesome, entertaining, imperfect fun. It’s also the first time since 300 I didn’t check my watch. I don’t oppose female empowerment films. I think women should be empowered. But while a film like Gracie beats you over the head with the lazy liberal ideal of feminism (Men. Are. Bad.), Nancy Drew presents a smart, strong, sweet, polite, likable character whose radical individuality is found in her unwillingness to conform to the radicals. Nancy Drew is a nice young lady. And in today’s world isn’t that really the new counter-culture?

...and I agree with that 100%, so why re-invent the wheel? I saw this with my 21+ year old daughter and we both enjoyed it, despite all the flaws that Dirty Harry accurately lists.

Needless to say, I'm amazed how much I liked it.
