| Original Score: B+ | Sep 7, 2011

Fans of the book will want to see this film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011

A below mediocre adaptation of the popular novel that is nonetheless served well by the two female leads, but all representative of the adults world (parents, teachers, psychologists) are narrow, standard-issue constructions.

| Original Score: C | Oct 30, 2006

A kids' movie that's more serious - and substantial - than most.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2003

Will remind parents of their own youth, and it will aid those living theirs out now to cope a little easier -- and that's just what a children's film should do.

A better-than-expected kid's-book adaptation.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 27, 2002

The whimsical and meaningless first part dissolves into a mean spirited and disturbing concluding section.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 25, 2002

Like the novel, Harriet the Spy is a rare children's story that celebrates the budding artistic spirit.

A very draggy affair because Harriet's exploits are treated like an episodic laundry list.

As the film progresses, the story becomes engaging.

Fresh and charming, it never plays down to kids.

[The] movie really is supposed to be for kids after all, and since none of the material is too dark, it should do a decent job of keeping them entertained.

There's a certain amateurish quality about Harriet the Spy, but it's more the 온라인카지노추천-trained grownups behind the camera...than the pint-sized thespians in front of it.

At least they didn't make the nanny's umbrella handle a talking parrot.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 1, 2000

Harriet the Spy is an intelligent, insightful look at the tribulations of being a creative, misunderstood misfit at age eleven.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

There's dancing, and bubble blowing and bed bouncing that's entirely aimless and Harriet's neighborhood sleuthing becomes particularly pointless.
