Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the big-screen Nancy Drew is very retro and straightlaced. And although she's being marketed to older tweens and young teens, even slightly younger kids will enjoy the teenage sleuth's harmless action. There are a few "good scary" moments (a face pops up in a dark room), and even though Nancy is forced to flee from armed henchmen and is even held at gunpoint, she never really seems like she'd be the victim of anything. It's worth noting that there are several prominent product placements, mostly computer and Internet related.

Sexual Content

One brief kiss; two girls wear tight outfits and flirt with Ned; Corky hits on Nancy.

Violence

Nancy is nearly killed a few times -- first in a car chase and later at gunpoint by a bad guy and his henchmen. Men are hit over the head with a shovel.

Language

Fairly mild language/insults: "what the hell," "freak," "idiot," "oh God," "porky," etc.

Social Behavior

Shows that persistance, ingenuity, and smarts pay off. Plus a message about being yourself.

Consumerism

Several prominent product placements: Mac laptop, IMDB.com, AOL, Amtrak, InStyle magazine, Hollywood High, etc.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

There's a rowdy high-school party, but no one seems to be drinking -- just dancing and carrying on.
