A better-than-expected kid's-book adaptation.
October 30, 2006
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.

Harriet the Spy has real character in some of its details, but it never feels like much more than a low-budget TV show.

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

Fans of the book will want to see this film.

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

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

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

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.

...in busily updating the '60s story for the more worldly '90s, the filmmakers have ended up, ironically, with a product much more naively juvenile than the original.

The film's OK, a little thick with sensory overload, but it wasn't made for old guys like me.
