Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

bkoganbing For this Disney Channel television movie Get A Clue, Lindsay Lohan turns Nancy Drew in everything, but name to solve the mystery of her disappearing teacher. Turns out that the teacher has a mysterious past, Ian Gomez used to be a high profile banker who was accused of embezzling ten million dollars from a bank he worked for in Arizona and has been living under an alias and teaching at a fashionable prep school where Lindsay goes. Gomez is also carrying on a romance with fellow teacher Amanda Plummer.But when Lindsay publishes an article in the school newspaper with his picture, somehow it comes to the attention of the police and other folks seeking to know Gomez's whereabouts. When Gomez fakes his death and disappears, Lindsay and her friends don't believe it and the four of them, Brenda Song, Bug Hall, and Ali Mukaddam go on the case. It's amazing that the kids seem to be one step ahead of the cops and the other seekers through creative use of the internet. Doesn't say much for New York's finest.Get A Clue is an amusing teen comedy that has its moments. It's not the best work that the Magic Kingdom ever did nor is it the top tier of Lindsay Lohan's work.

Robert W. Disney has probably always aimed for a certain demographic but they have a habit of appealing to everyone at once rather by accident or on purpose. Get a Clue which starred the not yet famous, Post Parent Trap Lindsay Lohan falls into the enormously successful Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven rage of the current youngsters.Get A Clue is the story of upper side New York's Lexy Gold. Daughter of rather wealthy parents and student at an upper class Private School. She happens upon some juicy gossip when she discovers two of her teachers are having a love affair and she catches them on camera and prints a story about it. The story is picked up by a major newspaper and awards Lexy with a young Journalism award but unfortunately the story causes a stir within the school and with the two teachers involved. Next thing everyone knows, Mr. Walker, the male counterpart of the relationship has disappeared and people are beginning to presume him dead. Detectives are snooping around and Lexy is determined to do some detective work on her own to help find Mr. Walker. What she uncovers with the help of her best friend and two unlikely male allies is a mystery of embezzlement and mistaken identities.Consider it a modern day version of Nancy Drew. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Disney intended this to be a regular TV Series, with it's general set up and premise. It's a detective show for kids. Mix Murder She Wrote with Clueless and you'll have what it's about. Clueless is stamped all over this despite the title of the film. The downside is the acting is HORRENDOUS...frightening even. Lindsay Lohan doesn't even show any redeeming acting qualities in this film. But for what it's worth which is a KIDS mystery film it's alright. It won't hurt you too badly to watch it with your kids and it has some moral messages thrown in for good measure. Even for Lohan fans, it's not horrible but you won't be blown away by any means. 5/10

Christopher Hewitt ~(Mild Spoliers)~This movie is basically an all around mystery movie. It deals with spy gadgets, do-hickeys, and hidden cameras. But is is an okay film. The characters seem to be around 13 or 14. But in real life they are all about 2 years older at least. The plot of the story is somewhat weird, but it has one of those plots like the ones that could only happen once in a million. There are some boring jokes in this, but the movie is overall entertaining enough to be said it is good. The characters that did a good job was especially Lindsay Lohan who played Lexy. She actually acted as the character throughout the entire film. The movie takes place in New York City, and we all know that that is a pretty big city. So I do not understand why the parents of Lexy actually let her roam the streets of New York City alone with her 1 or 2 friends that are with her. (Beginning of spoiler) One other thing that I find odd is how the majority of the students in Lexy's school has a cell phone in which they bring to school. In most schools nowadays, cell phones are not allowed, except for after school uses. In the movie, they use them during their break and stuff like that. I can see with it taking place in a big city that they would have them on account of having to stay in contact with their parent or guardian, but it just seemed like too many people had them. They were also using the cell phones before school. Who would you have to talk to on your way to school? (End of spoiler)(End of Spoilers) The person I think that did not do the best job of acting was Bug Hall who played Jack. He just seemed like a regular person with an exceptionally bad haircut. On the Disney Channel they showed this commercial a lot of times. And not just this commercial, but the music video as well since a song was written for the movie. The song that they played was okay, but it was a song that you would not prefer over your favorite. Basically all of the other characters did a good job. The last issue that I have with this movie is how Bug Hall, Lindsay Lohan, Brenda Song (Jennifer), and Charles Shaughnessy (Detective Meany/Falco), were all in other big Disney movies and Disney Channel Original movies. Overall I did not think of this movie as a waist of time or a waist of money for the producers. In conclusion, with all of the points that I have drawn out, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, or ***/****. If you have some spare time and nothing to do, this movie is not a total waist of your time.

Klutzbynature This movie was definitely a kids movie, hence the reason it was made for Disney channel. I watched it and am just a bit older than a little kid, but i found it enjoyable. Sure some of the lines were corny, but it was a good movie overall
