Young females get excited. And I mean very excited.

For Nancy Drew - the star of the popular mystery book series that has enchanted pubescent young ladies since the 1930s - is about to return to the big screen.

The original kick-arse proponent of girl power, super sleuth Nancy adores adventure, solving mysteries and getting into - and out of - some hairy situations.

When Nancy (Roberts) accompanies her father, Carson (Donovan) on a business trip to LA, she finds herself at odds with the fast-living, self-indulgent culture of Hollywood.

But Nancy has more important things to worry about than having the latest shoes. When she stumbles across evidence about one of the greatest unsolved cases of all time - the mysterious death of beautiful movie star Dehlia Draycott - she cannot resist digging deeper for clues.

As she discovers, the mystery will test Nancy’s resourcefulness to the limit.

With the perfect balance of action and teenage drama, Nancy Drew is ideal fodder for a girly afternoon at the cinema.
