From Movie Reviews I've read, I must Caution that this Movie is NOT suitable for young viewers, due to Extreme Language, and other Innuendos, etc...

I absolutely do NOT recommend this Movie on DVD. Perhaps, ABC Family, will edit and omit some of the objectionable content. Personally, I just wish they would choose to create these movies (especially those directed at youths) without the need of editing.

For better Family Movies on DVD, with these Actresses, see The Parent Trap, Nancy Drew, or
Grand Champion.

PLOT:

Sixteen-year-old Poppy (Emma Roberts, Nancy Drew) is an LA teen diva who does what she wants, whenever she wants. She's a self-obsessed, incorrigible brat who lives a pampered life in her L.A. world. Though she's handed credit cards with unlimited balances and surrounded by countless hangers on, Poppy can't escape the mounting frustration she feels with her family situation. And she makes sure that everyone knows it.

But after an over-the-top prank pushes her father one step too far, she finds herself shipped off to the one place where everything will change -- British boarding school.

No cell phones, no designer clothes… no way. Finding herself in a foreign world of early curfews, stern matrons and mandatory lacrosse, the American princess has finally met her match: a school of British girls who won't tolerate her spoiled ways.

Under the watchful eye of the school's headmistress (Natasha Richardson, Parent Trap) and surrounded by a new circle of friends, Poppy begrudgingly realizes her bad-girl behavior will only get her so far. But just because she must grow into a fine young lady doesn't mean this "Wild Child" won't be spending every waking hour shaking up a very proper system...

Desperate to break free, she sets in motion the ultimate escape plan involving the head mistress’ son, only to discover that this could be the reason she wants to stay.

Written by Lucy Dahl, produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Alexandra Ferguson and Diana Phillips.

PLOT:

from DVD description:

With her magnifying glass and fingerprint powder in hand, Nancy Drew leaves River Heights for Hollywood... but not to meet that guy on Smallville, as her boyfriend Ned fears. No, she's out to solve one of the greatest mysteries ever: the death of movie star Dehlia Draycott. But the bigger mystery is how our perky, plaid-clad sleuth will fit in with the text-messaging teen queens of mean she meets at Hollywood High.

Join Emma Roberts as Nancy in this timeless girl detective mystery as she finds danger, adventure and romance. Because wherever Nancy goes, excitement follows.

Movie Review:

Nancy Drew is a strong and confident young woman. She believes in herself and justice… and isn’t afraid of seeking out the truth as clues to the Draycott Mystery unravel around her.

This movie is better suited for Preteen age and up. The Dehlia Draycott mystery involves an unwed murdered Hollywood actress of the golden era having given birth to a daughter. This issue may be too much for young viewers to comprehend as well as explain the reasoning of the child’s birth… since the actress was unmarried.

Also, Nancy thinks the Draycott Mansion is haunted but learns it was only a projection image. There are other close moments of intense with a bomb explosion, a van tries to run over Nancy and her friend, Corky, Nancy is kidnapped, etc…

In spite of these sticky situations… the movie is delightful and fun. I liked Nancy’s style and personality… she wasn’t ever afraid or and intimidated to be her true self. A great role model. I loved when she told the other girls in the lunch room that “She likes Old Fashioned Things” and the girl responds, “Oh, we noticed”.

There isn’t anything objectional as far as language or physical relations. There was a mild sweet kiss at the end but I’ll let you watch the movie to see if it was with her old reliable sleuthing friend, Ned… or with the new funny guy, Corky.
