Get a Clue Reviews:
Teen Queen / detective for the Younger Crowd! 
2008-04-18 - Lindsay Lohan is a very good actress. Not many think of her in that light. We tend to see her as another teen trouble maker in/out of rehab. She truly knows her craft & I respect her for that.
I live in the middle of many movie studios (Cali) so my cable has a ridiculous number of channels. We have 3 PBS channels. The nice part is that I get to see movies quicker than others.
This movie was light and cute but definitely geared towards a young crowd. I would buy this movie if I had kids from 10 - 13. Maybe even a bit younger. Since it's a detective movie preteens would be able to keep up with the clues.
I've seen all her movies. My favorite hands down is "Georgia Rule". Georgia Rule (Widescreen Edition)
Directed by Garry Marshall you can never go wrong. He knows his stuff. Georgia Rule was a stretch for him in that it spans 3 generations of women with ALL the emotional triggers and real life situations.
Others Fav's by Garry Marshall:

A n ice lark of a Movie for the Teen Set 
2007-03-17 - An OK plot with Lindsey Lohan sluething a missing teacher with a nice twist to the plot. Teens finding out while adults have problems. Oh well- it's a entertaining and fun Lark if you like that kind of movie.
Keeps growing on me
2006-09-16 - I know this is a Disney movie for a certain audience but I have to say I rented it one night and really liked it. My reading choices are all very serious so I like a break when I put on a dvd. I appreciated the charm of this movie but what I noticed that I like a lot is how it has the feeling of a play in the writing. I felt like I was watching a decent high school production of a story. The acting is quite good in the context of this movie, I think Brenda Song has a long future as a comedic talent. It took me a couple of viewings to figure out why the city scape looked familiar, it's Toronto!
so bad it's almost fun to laugh at it...almost 
2006-07-27 - You could just tell this movie wanted to be a combination of Clueless and Nancy Drew. It fails miserably. First of all, the fashion looks like thrift shop trash. It is completely hideous and it is kind of funny when Lindsay and her friend act like they're so styling when they are wearing the outfits. You'll feel vomit rising in your throat just looking at the fashions. The funniest outfit was the white pants with the red cherries place randomly on them. It looked like she had just gotten her period. That was the funniest thing about the entire movie which is kind of sad, if you think about it. The mystery fails because it makes no sense. Lindsay takes a picture of her teacher for the SCHOOL paper and then he vanishes. Everybody believes he's died but he hasn't. Turns out this dude has faked his death more than once. Maybe he got the idea from hearing all the Elvis conspiracy rumors, lol. Anyway, Lindsay and her 4 friend start to get to work on the mystery and for them, it means having more spy gadets than any little kid would ever have. They also don't look like very convincing spy gadets. One of them looks like a remote control off a little kid's toy car. No big surprise but they solve the crime but not without the "wacky" slapstick chase that was just embarrassingly bad. Oh and then the movie has a fat principal who's says hardly anything and is not really part of the plot but I suppose she was thrown in so that they could have her walk, put it in slow motion and hope people laughed at the big fat lady more than at Lindsay's clothes and weird hairline. Watch it only if you want to make fun of it, it's not good for anything else.
Get a clue it's there inside of you! 
2006-03-05 - Love Lindsay Lohan Lohan, Love Disney Channel, Love this Movie! This movie is part of the Disney Channel Original Movie series. It stars teen sensation Lindsay Lohan and rising star Brenda Song. . Lexy (Lohan) plays a teen reporter for her school and her gossip leads to bad things. Her teacher goes missing and it's up to Lexy and her friends to crack the case and find him. The dvd also feature's an alternate ending and awesome previews for other Disney Channel Original Movie's (DCOMS). The only problem is they don't include behind the scenes and the Simon and Milo music video. Other than that the dvd is so fun to watch at a sleep over or just sit around with your family.
Stars-
Lindsay Lohan (The Parent Trap and Mean Girls)
Brenda Song (Stuck in the Suburbs and Disney's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody)
Bug Hall (Little Rascals and The Big Green)
