Nancy Drew better than reviewed in Weekly
As an old fan of Nancy Drew books, I thought the Weekly reviewer was too hard on the film. I'd give it 2.5-3 stars; I hope they turn it into a t.v. series, it has promise. (... |

not fantastic but not bad
I saw Fantastic Four 2 and thought it was a good bad movie. Forgettable, stupid, and fun. I had peanut m&m's and peanut butter cups--delicious. |
