If you loved Assassination of a High School President, try Nancy Drew
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Crime / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Assassination of a High School President, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Nancy Drew is
Hollywood. Endless summer. A ringing telephone. Nancy and her father arrive, house-sitting a mansion with secrets. An actress died here long ago, and the truth is buried somewhere between old contracts and desperate people. Fleming’s update of the girl detective is more amiable than ingenious.
