Customer Reviews of Get a Clue
Great Book, Ghastly film If you have read the novel The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin you know why I mentioned great book. The plot revolves around many un-forgettable, original, hysterical characters who are thrown into a game that's part murder mystery, part "Who Wants to be a Millinonaire?" The players are challenged to figure out who killed multi- millionaire, Sam Westing. It is a-must read as far as children's literature goes.
The movie, Get a Clue, is NOT a must-see! As much of the plot is the same, the characters's personalities and habits are completely changed and some characters are dimenished. After reading the book in the fifth grade my class watched this "adaption." We were told to find the difference between the book and the movie, and of course paying very close attention noticed 430 errors or so, and none of them particularly help the story. With almost no similarities and a dry cast, this movie should have never seen the light of day.
The only people who need to "Get A Clue." are the writers of this film. READ THE BOOK!!!
WTF?
This is by far the sloppiest mystery I have ever seen. The biggest mistake was having a LITTLE GIRL be the main character. HOW ANNOYING! The acting is bad almost all around and the script dies in ignorance before the movie ends. It also has plenty of plot holes(needless to say). For one thing I have a very hard time believing that some dumb little girl could figure out a whole complex mystery. Another one was if Westing was posing as 3 different people, when the dumb little girl reported him dead, the medical examiners would know that he was still alive, and the film dodges scenes like that for you not to notice. But I did and was very confused. I mean WTF?. And that "queen sacrifice" sublot was way bitz.
The only way I could reccomend this movie is if you are home alone and feel like "Hey, I want to watch a complex mystery that bedazzles me with stupidity". Watch it if you are in that mood.

Book vs Movie
I watched this movie at school after reading the book. The Westing Game is being protrayed pretty poorly in this movie. It seems that much of the complex story line of the book had to be cut out for the movie format. Also, the Turtle in the movie could have done a better acting job. Many of the characters have changed and many have been omitted. However, I must give some credit to some aspects of the movie, because it is always difficult to create a book into a movie and keep the flavor of it. However, this movie is just short of par and could have been done better. However, if you're a fan of the Westing game, it's good to see the movie at least once.
