Michael W This Nickelodeon movie was terrible. Michelle Trachtenberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Vanessa Lee Chester, Gregory Smith, Charlotte Sullivan, and the rest of the cast did a terrible job in this movie. The story of the movie was dull, tedious, and exhausting. It's about a girl who spies on people and is obsessed with her notebook. That's very strange. I was just a kid when this movie hit theaters, but I never saw it. If I did, I would say that this movie was terrible just like I'm saying right now. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Omri F I think people are missing the point. Yeah, she doesn't quite understand what being a spy means. That's childhood. It's about the balance of maintaining friendships and doing what you love, and I think that's a nice message. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Chris M The story is a bit unfocused. Plus, unless she said she wanted to write for newspaper, I don't understand how spying on the people will teach her to be a writer? Plus, the only villain is the cliché mean girl. Which is odd that a girl in the 6th grade would be that jaded. Plus that young able to control the whole school against her is odd too. The sequel does make her a high school blogger which makes a tad more sense. This is probably a flaw with the books. But at least it didn't go in the direction I was expecting. But it's not horrible, it has a lot of likable moments. Just enough to keeping it from a meh grade, but not by much. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review Red T It's ok but honestly I thought there would be a more clever plot that would involve her spy hobby/skills. It kind of feels like especially watching the trailer it is a bit misleading this is really a coming of age sort of story rather than a witty spy kids spy plot. The editing is the weakest part here and isn't very good as it feels like for over half the film stuff just happens with no real cohesive story at times with the plot coming in at only certain intervals. This leads to a passable pacing mainly because the girl actor is actually half decent and does a above average job carrying the plot. I feel Rosie should've had a much bigger part and would've helped make this more charming. The camerawork is actually half decent also with some creative camera shots at times but settings and scenes are forgettable. The music is ok with some old school soul numbers but kind of forgettable. Overall there really isn't much to offer here and there really isn't anything bad, it's charming enough. Any fans of Rosie or Michelle Trachtenberg should give this a watch but outside of that I'd say skip this. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member There are some great kid's movies out there, and this isn't one of them. This movie is bad. It's not funny at all. Harriett isn't a spy, she's more of a stalker. I wish I had that 90 minutes of my life back. My kids and I won't watch it again. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A boring, tedious, lifeless, Nickelodeon movie with terrible comedy, no worthy plot, and bad acting from everyone.
