"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.

The Ringer

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.

Common Sense Media

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.

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...

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.

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend, particularly for younger audiences. It's definitely inspired by Nancy Drew (they drop the name somewhere as a joke), but isn't one itself. It's a good coming of age / identity story about investigating a mystery: it's somewhat funny, but the premise is that it's stuck up little rich kids (mostly) that have to get a taste of the real world. Sadly, kids and adults, Lindsey Lohan pretty much carries the movie. She does a good job but other actors really had a chance to stand out in this and just didn't. It's not a bad movie, but really, there are other mystery movies, and I'd recommend "Nancy Drew" (Emma Roberts) or "Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase" (Sophia Lillis) over this.
