One of my favorite films from youth.. I always identified with Harriet when she was going through her troubles.. too bad real life doesnt work out like that..

I thought this movie was alright, and I was in high school when it came out. Not bad for a Nickelodeon film. Not a great movie, either, but a cute little plot and decent acting attempts from the young cast.

Some children's films can have the same effect they did when you watched them when you were a kid, this film did not. It's a harmless kids flick about a little girl wanting to be a spy, but I think it's delivered some mixed messages about revenge especially. Michelle Trachtenberg is likeable as young Harriet and Rosie O'Donnell also plays a very likeable Nanny called Golly, but the storyline lacked consistency and while kids will enjoy it older viewers will pick the flaws quickly ;)

I remember way too much about this movie to be comfortable. Like, I remember it pretty much beginning to end. It's not a bad kid's movie. But even as a kid I hated that stupid ending sequence. GET UP OFFA THAT THANG. Also I had a phase as a kid where me and my sister would get those black-and-white notebooks and magnifying glasses and spy on people around town and write shit. Which in retrospect, since we didn't know them, it made us more like future serial killers than anything. Like in Seven.

A good film for kids with a good lesson.

Your average 90s kid spectacular, only in film-form. Harriet had a lovable actress.

A pretty decent kids' movie ruined by a stupid and horribly unsatisfying ending.

A fun, joyful adaptation that occasionally panders too much towards kids (which is, granted, its target audience), but not enough to the adults who bring them to the movies.

I loved this as a kid, so I'm a bit biased but it's definitely Nickelodians best live-action movie not as if that says much.
