1.0 out of 5 stars What a brat!, February 3, 2009

By	Judith (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

I suppose Roxy is meant to be sassy and precocious, but she just comes off as being bratty and in need of a lot of time out in her room. She repeatedly mouths off to adults, breaks laws, and never obeys any rules her mother does try to set. She's rude and inconsiderate to her family members. Not at all a good role model.

The movie is watchable. The actress playing Roxy is cute as a button. Some of the sets are very good. The mansion Roxy lives in is fascinating, although you do have to wonder how her mother can afford it on a bank teller's salary. There is also a gorgeous library, which is unfortunately run by a very stereotypical nerdy librarian. A lot of the characters are one dimensional stereotypes--the crabby bank lady, for instance. Small town life is depicted like something out of the 1950s. Neither the bank or the library has computers.

The plot is rather thin and doesn't really add up. Roxy's great detective skills are just coincidences and wild guesses that always just happen to be right.

I'd pass on this one. It isn't wretched, but with Roxy's behavior problems, why bother with a so-so plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sort of fun for young girls, July 16, 2008

By	J. Anderson "happy mom of 3 beauties" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First off, this is a movie for young tween-age girls. A MOVIE. If you are frightened that your child will have a personality over-haul from watching a 90 minute fictional movie, then perhaps you had best skip it.

That being said, my 8.5 yo daughter liked the movie, liked the plot, and liked that the lead character showed independence and spirit. She questioned things, was intelligent, and yes, had a bit of an attitude. What girl does not? It was a nice movie, moved quickly, no real scarey things,and a nice ending. Very family appropriate!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the show:), February 9, 2008

By	Tidepools (MI United States) - See all my reviews

My 3yr old son and I love Roxy Hunter. The story is charming, funny, and has just the right ammount of suspence for young viewers! It is a welcome break from all the cartoons my son watches!
