June 15, 2007. Andrew Fleming directed DICK, THE CRAFT and some random TV shows. Emma Roberts (niece of Julia Roberts) is completely charming as Nancy Drew. There is a passing similarity to VERONICA MARS in terms of the wit and charm and grace under pressure, to say nothing of the raw sleuthing powers, of the title characters. However, Veronica has an iconic anti-hero vibe that Nancy only aspires to in a mild way. There is a “fight the power structure” and “over turn the Queen Bee” element to both characters. There is also a passing similarity to the BLACK DALIA. I was fascinated by Nancy’s fashion sense and part it plays in the story line. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479500/
