Get a Clue is a 1997 film based on the Newbery Medal-winning book The Westing Game.
The film draws young viewers into the strange mysteries encountered by 13-year-old Cassie and her sister, Angela Wexler. After moving into a new town, Turtle learns the house next door is the notoriously haunted Westing mansion. Discovering the body of the dead millionaire, Turtle attempts to solve the case in hopes of receiving a 20 million dollar reward. The live-action adventure stars Ashley Peldon, Diane Ladd, Sally Kirkland, and Ray Walston.
Tony Scott of Variety called the film a "satisfactory kid-pleaser" and an "intricate, complex romp whose outre characters and labyrinthine plot could use polishing".[1] Sharon Johnson of The Patriot-News called it a "rip-off" and wrote that "this overly long, not very involving mystery isn't much of a movie."[2]
