Film Review - Nancy Drew
Sunday, April 06, 2008
What a film.
I didn't expect much to be honest, but it was actually fun.
The background was that We were doing a club for 9-12 year olds which currently is exclusively attended by girls. All our staff and volunteered called off due to lots of stuff. valid but stuff. so we decided without a program to have a video night!
we went off to the local rental shop and looked at all the videos. there was nothing was was good, except shark vs eagle which as a 15 but did look quality.
we hummed and awed. two 30+ year old men trying to pick a film to interest and keep the attention of a group of 9-12 year old girls.
Then I saw it. Nancy Drew. The film.
i picked it. I had to convince my boss that it would work. but we got it.
we went back and waited for the girls. 11 turned up.
we went through to the room and sat down to watch the movie.
I was nervous. I had never seen the film, I had never heard of any reviews. It looked like it could go one of two ways. great of absolutely terrible.
It wasn't terrible. the girls were excited. I laughed out loud at least seven times.
The thing that really got me was how similar nancy was to one of the girls who comes to the club. I really was stunned by the similarities.
anyway
not the worse film in the world.
not the best film in the world but one i think i would watch again.
anyway fromthe soundtrack Flunk and there version of "Blue Monday"
