Get A Clue

If you are an all out Lindsay Lohan fan then you have been impatiently awaiting Disney's release of this made for television movie from the LL vaults. Lindsay made this film between Life Size and Freaky Friday. Get A Clue is Lindsay's least known film, even less popular than Life Size which was also a Disney made for television affair.

GAC follows the adventures of a high school newspaper gossip columnist and her friends as they attempt to solve a mystery of a disappearing school teacher. We are treated to the ridiculous sites and sounds of a teenage dream impression of New York City life as only Disney can bring us. The events are bizarre and completely unrealistic. Not that we have ever expected realism from Disney's made for TV movies.

As we have come to expect from later LL movies, Disney uses this movie as an opportunity to show us LL in a million bizarre outfits with changes coming in almost every scene. They even manage to weave the outrageous clothing into the very weak plot. Disney was banking on Lindsay's rising teen popularity when they made this movie and waited until her stardom was able to carry this movie completely to bring it to DVD. Nothing else could have saved this weak, weak movie. Fortunately, it is very short.

The bottom line is that this film is sort of cute but incredibly weak. LL fans will, of course, need to own it but it will never manage to be one of her classics and will always be a minor blemish on her record.
