Lexi e il professore scomparso

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

I find that this movie was very boring, and not creative, as most movies by the Disney Channel are. Lindsay Lohan should stick to a more creative script, as she has the talent to 'really become something.' I really couldn't stand this movie. It was a total waste of my time.

This is a better than average Disney TV. The leads, Lindsey Lohan and Bug Hall, can actually act. There actually IS a plot, and the minimal level of "contrived perkiness" will make the film more palatable to Adult viewers.

On the positive side, there are NO superheroes in the entire film, and no overly caffeinated High Schoolers pretending to be Pop Stars. IT makes for a refreshing change of pace from the more modern Disney films.

This is not High Quality Entertainment, but it is an entertaining little film which you can watch with your family and not be disturbed by the content.

where to begin......shallow, materialistic characters who live on madison avenue, awful storyline, terrible acting, and awful EVERYTHING. this piece of crap isn't even worthy to be called a movie. how can a bunch of naive twelve year old kids solve a NYC mystery? even police have trouble with solving this type of stuff!! people....its ok to fictionalize things a little bit, but not to this extent. all they talk about is their latest fashion...no sense of intelligence whatsoever. people....this is not something thats good for your intelligence!! skip this trash. 1 out of 10

I usually like this sort of film(I loved Clueless), but this is an example of a movie that had potential, but because of its problems, dives like a nailed duck. I do like Lindsey Lohan, and I like Mean Girls and Freaky Friday, and I will say her enthusiastic performance is one of the redeeming qualities of a movie that is only passable in terms of delivery. She is well-supported by her spirited co-stars that are eager to please, and I liked the clothes. However the film is let down by a script that feels at the end that it's run out of ideas, and as much as I liked the idea of the story, I do think the director tried to cram too much into one film, that is too short anyway. The result is a film that tries very hard, but at the end of the day, is only passable, and is further disadvantaged by a predictable ending. 4/10 Bethany Cox.
