Protraph Lack of good storyline.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Nicola Cochran Normally I like kid shows and enjoy childish funny things. But there are multiple annoying things about this movie, but the worst of all is the main character's introduction of herself where she proclaims a passionate stand against good food that looks nice. She very "boldly" refuses to eat the beautiful version of a tomato sandwich prepared by her mother's chef, because it's open face, appears to have some other elements added (probably basil), and because there is a tomato carved to look like a rose on the plate. Instead, she insists on eating a regular sandwich that is just plain sliced tomatoes. The chef responds by saying that she has the food appreciation of a two year old, and the viewer who is perhaps meant to side with her, or somehow identify with her on this, rather tends to agree more with the chef... she does seem to have the appreciation for good food that a two year old has. Actually, some babies have more appropriate willingness to eat what's put in front of them. This character is supposed to be what, like in middle school and she's acting this way? Extremely bratty, ungrateful, immature behavior. Right at the beginning. The quote that she and the nanny say also doesn't contextually make any sense, but is used as a way to make a point against the chef and to make the point that she won't eat his fancy sandwich. Later her father also doesn't want to eat an orange because it's sliced into the shaped of a bird, and so the orange gets thrown away and the father opts for a banana. This is frustrating because it seems to be depicting that the chef is somehow being silly by expecting them to eat food that he's spent time on, when he is just doing his job and doing what he loves, and they are literally throwing food away. Since I grew up in a 3rd world country, I find that somewhat atrocious. These scenes gave me a strong and unshakable sense of the main character being extremely over privileged and spoiled. This made the rest of the show harder to get into, since I wasn't able to identify with the main character at all. Rather than being introduced as a character with moral integrity, who cares about real issues like world hunger, or something like that, or even wanting to make the world a better place for those around her, she is instead introduced as a spoiled brat who protests having to eat anything that looks nice or has flavor complexity.

TheBlueHairedLawyer I honestly thought it was a cyber-bullying school P.S.A. when I first saw it. Taking the classic novel Harriet the Spy, about a preteen with a love of solving mysteries and writing in her notebook, this version introduces the modern way of journalism, blogging. Back when people had brains, there were much better movie ideas out there than the plot of two generic-acting teens having a "blogging war". Nevertheless, this movie was made, and I was stuck watching it in class. Its only upside was its filming location, the former steel city of Hamilton, located in Ontario, Canada. The acting was okay but the teenage characters were too predictable and typical, and I grew up reading the original novel and watching the 1996 film Harriet the Spy so it was hard for me to enjoy this one. I was also sixteen when I saw this, older than its target audience, so perhaps I'd have gotten more out of it if I were younger.

soccersmith08 This movie is about a rich girl who wants everything in her life. She isn't popular but wants to become the class blogger. In turn she spy's on teen heartthrob that she claims to hate , which she is capable of doing because her dad is producing his new movie. While all this is happening she finds time to complain that her nanny has a life outside of hers and that her parents don't know who. She ends up getting in trouble and realizing she ruined this teen's and her dad's career, but by some miracle everything works out in the end and she gets everything she wants. The class blog, Nanny's friendship, her friends back, and of course the evil girl loses. HORRIBLE!!!!

gregsonproductions While I feel the original Harriet the Spy tops this remake. I do think this was an enjoyable made for television movie. Not totally cringe worthy and some good moments for Miss Stone, who I believe is one of the better teen actors today.She keeps her performance real, and while the story is not anything new, it's entertaining and fun for teen/tween girls.Disney seems to be lacking in new and fresh entertainment. I would like to see something original and fresh from the people who work for the mouse in the near future. Bring back some of the original Disney Channel movies that the whole family could enjoy together.My daughters enjoyed this movie and are fans of Miss Stone, so I gave it a five out of ten on their behalf.
