Elevated by a well-cast Sophia Lillis, Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase leads audiences into a genially entertaining new take on the venerable character.

Roxana Hadadi

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase is a pleasing return to the kind of storytelling captured in those books, in which a mystery is tidily solved through logic and cleverness.

Rated: 4/5

Lillis shines as the brainy detective, but the movie itself is none too bright.

Rated: 1.5/4

Observer

Ineffectual, irrelevant and amateurishly conceived from start to finish, this movie is so bad it could kill off Nancy Drew forever.

Rated: 1/4

This screen incarnation of America's favorite teenaged detective gives us permission to celebrate a world where the only superpowers anyone needs are intelligence, curiosity, compassion and kindness.

I have always loved the Nancy Drew stores and Sophia Lillis was perfect as Nancy. I really enjoyed the movie, and it brought back good memories of ready the books. I hope that she will make more of them.

This is a super fun and well cast film! I felt all the actors did a great job bringing these well known characters to life in this alternative modern setting. I also loved the little easter eggs with references to other Nancy Drew titles, like the Lilac Inn and Twin Elms! I would definitely recommend of you're looking for a light, fun movie with a little bit of mystery!

This latest take of Nancy Drew was pretty ok. While very teen oriented, it did have an engaging plot line and good character development with a competent cast. The movie held my interest through to the end, so that is definitely worth at 2 stars +.
