A 13-year-old student (Lindsay Lohan) enlists her friends to rescue her English teacher.

Mark Sachs

Los Angeles Times

"Get a Clue..." displays style to spare bursting out of the starting gate only to stumble at the finish line, tripped up by the wild tangle of awkwardly knotted loose ends.

New York City high jinks! inter-school-newspaper romance!—but Lohan's iconic fits are so singular within the genre that every other DCOM simply pales in couture comparison.

Get a Clue zips along with the help of an upbeat soundtrack, funky costumes, and Manhattan backdrops designed to inspire location envy.

Rated: 3/5

Your run-of-the-mill Disney Channel movie shot on the cheap in 2002 while trying to propel one of their young stars into the heavens.

The crime investigation plot is bleak and confusing. I was unfortunately not interested in the characters' missing person profile at all or the leads' / discoveries that were brought to light since they didn't feel compelling or earned. Most of the prospective suspects barely had any motivation and were lazily wrapped up in a 30-second narration in the end. The early 2000s fodder with the fashion, tech and spy gear used is entertaining enough, and the young actors try to make do with a lousy and uninspired script. Get a Clue is simply a movie you turn on in the background while you're doing something else. Inoffensive and just there.

Not her best movie, though, at the time Disney Channel produced quality movies which related.

Adorei o visual das meninas, os anos 2000 eram tão over, adoro… Lindsay Lohan tão lindinha, uma peninha tudo que essa guria passou na juventude, família problemática, drogas, excessos e ausências, rede de apoio é fundamental… Brenda Song e Bug Hall fofinhos... Filminho de suspense policial infanto juvenil fofinho, adolescente bancando detetive, eu gosto, passatempo gostosim, sem grandes pretensões, apenas distrações...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

while Lindsay Lohan is able portray her character with ambition, heart and determination it is outweighed by underwhelming dialogue, character interactions and overall plot. the movie is a solid entry but the essence of the movie does not linger after the credits start rolling.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
