Carson gets smitten., 18 September 2003

By far, this was one of the better Nancy Drew's, with Ms. Granville. When her Uncle Matt is accused of murder, the best lawyer Carson must take the case, and naturally Nancy goes with him.

Since Carson is not a townie, he comes in under scrutiny but gets Matt out of prison for a little while. During this time, he meets a beautiful woman who catches his fancy, much to Nancy's dismay. Since Ted is also in town, she enlists him to dissuade her father. Naturally Ted falls for the loveliness of the woman and Nancy's troubles amount.

The whole resolution was done masterfully. It showed a maturation of Nancy and dealing with another woman in Carson's life.

The mystery of the killer was rather simple, but interesting with Ted along. Frankie and Bonita were great with each other. I wish they had done more together.

A great movie to watch - so pop your corn, grab a soda and don;t miss a minute of this very cute endeavor of a movie.
