Harriet: Spionage aller Art

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.

Harriet Welsch the spy (Jennifer Stone) ridicules their chef but loves her nanny Golly (Kristin Booth). She is competing with her nemesis Marion Hawthorne for the official class blog. Marion's simplistic blogs are outshining Harriet's tales of spying on unimportant people. Meanwhile her father is the new producer of the new Spy Teen 2 movie and teen heartthrob Skander. She hates the superficial ridiculous movies but she starts using Skander for her blog. The popularity of Skander rubs off on her blog. When she sees Skander throwing a fit on set, her blog climbs and so does trouble for her father. She goes into full spy mode on Skander and even pretends to be his friend much to Marion's chagrin. Skander is paranoid about being stalked. Harriet is also spying on Golly.

The production value is pretty bad. The Toronto for NYC is done very poorly. The acting is OK but it's nothing to write home about. Jennifer Stone has a good amount of pep, but the acting from the other kids fall off pretty quickly. If the movie looks poor, the movie within the movie looks even worst. It's a poor effort even for a Disney TV movie. There are too many annoying characters in silly situations that look ridiculous.

Do not waste your time or money with this Movie, this movie is the most annoying one I have ever seen!

I hate to be the person to go on online rants, but I feel its necessary. As a kiddo, I was obsessed with the original version of this movie. There was so much quality character development, and as a watcher, beautiful relationships were formed through the screen. The cast was amazing, and the acting was incredible. This remake is very very disappointing and a waste of time. Poor character development, and none of the original cast that we know and love. I wanted to love this, but I just couldn't. I will stick to the inspirational story line, and enjoy a movie that always brings me back to my childhood.

Worst writing I've ever seen. Terrible protagonist. Bizzare plot paths. Some actors tried. But had no chance with that script.
