While I love Jennifer Stone and think she's a great actress, this movie just couldn't hold a candle to the previous version featuring Michele Trachtenberg. There was just something missing. Yes, Harriet was still not exactly a great spy, getting spotted on most of her attempts to follow people, and yes, her spying does come back to bite her and teach her a lesson, but it just didn't feel complete. Maybe it's because I found Skander Hill (Wesley Morgan), the Zac Efron of Harriet's world, just as boring and cringe-worthy as she did. He just didn't seem to be the most interesting person for the hordes of teenage girls to want the dirt on. I do understand that him being unlikeable is kind of the point. Harriet does set out to expose him, after all. But I found myself not really caring if people found out the truth about him or not.

I hope that Jennifer Stone gets a better starring vehicle in the near future, because, while I'd love to see her in something else, I won't be watching her in this again. She isn't enough of a draw.
