Looking like Tom Hanks in the second half of Cast Away, Will Ferrell gets his "mantlers" from Spike TV's Guy's Choice Awards.

"Nancy Drew" ** (out of four): Sadly bland update of everyone's favorite girl detective series never rises above its "Scooby Doo"-level plot.

It’s hard to believe “Nancy Drew” – the unbearably precocious teen detective from countless books – is almost 80 this year. From Warner Bros’ adaptation, she’s doesn’t look a day over sixteen. And unfortunately, the film isn’t likely to appeal to anyone over ten. The problems start early with an opening scene in which Nancy (Emma Roberts) faces off against two thieves pinched from the “Home Alone” playbook (led by SNL’s Chris Kattan). Nancy offers them desserts and gets them bickering until the police show up to do the arresting. The scene is cute in a for-the-kids kind of way and sets the tone for a film that will rarely rise above “Scooby Doo”-level mysteries.

"Fido" **1/2 (out of four): Scattershot zombie comedy in which the domestication of the undead - in a Douglas Sirk-style 1950s - leads to some very expected complications.

“Fido” takes place in the fictional town of Willard, one of those 1950s, Stepford-perfect creations in which each car is impossibly shiny, each lawn impeccably manicured and each family has its own zombie to do the dirty work. Yes, in the alternate reality of “Fido”, Earth – a generation or so ago – passed through a cloud of cosmic space dust which brought the dead back to life. In the midst of the bloody Zombie War that followed, one scientist found a way to domesticate the undead via a collar that curbs their bloodthirsty appetites. Out of the carnage springs ZomCon, a monolithic corporation dedicated to keeping the world safe from the walking dead (they also manufacture cars, milk and seemingly every other packaged good in town). Until, of course, something goes horribly awry – without which we’d have no movie.
