Classic, Brain Candy, or Bent?

I watched the Nancy Drew movie from 2007 at my little sister’s urging during my vacation to Park City. Maybe most of you have already watched it, I hardly see movies so it was new to me. I watched it with my younger kids after a morning of swimming. We did this while the big kids went with their cousins, dad, aunts, uncle, and grandpa and grandma to the temple for a youth baptism session. Younger sis raved about how cute Nancy’s vintage clothes were. I liked them but they weren’t as cute as I was expecting, more type 3 or 4, according to Carol Tuttle’s system, not my type 1 and 2. I am still deciding if the movie is just brain candy or bent. I don’t think I would call it a classic. It portrayed as OK for a young woman to lie to her dad about breaking a promise she had made. Supposedly it was for a higher benefit of helping others but I am not convinced that that was the right thing. I do like the message it sends about how cool it is for a young woman to be excellent at sports, academics, homemaking, and sleuthing. I never knew Nancy Drew was a budding Martha Stewart type. I thought she just liked mysteries. I love the song from the movie, “You’re Pretty Much Amazing.” I think I will play it in the mornings to help get my kids going.
