Trivia

A song by the band Prozzak, "Get a Clue", appeared in the film and the music video was shown on Disney Channel at the time of its release. The name of the band was changed to "Simon and Milo", the characters depicted in the music video so their band name would not be associated with the drugs.

Quotes

Jack: [to Lexy] That was, uh, some article.
Lexy: Oh, you saw it?
Jack: Yeah. Hedda Hopper had nothing on you.
Lexy: Hedda who?
Jack: You call yourself a writer. You should know. She was the most famous gossip columnist ever.
Lexy: I am not a gossip columnist. I give advice. The article in the Daily Examiner is a human interest piece.
Jack: Right. Sure it is.

Must See...

This Disney Channel Original Movie started out silly. Like a kiddie soap opera. But 20 some minutes later.... It became a mystery! Now it makes sense why this movie was delayed from Jan.2002 to June 2002 along with Kim Possible....

Like Kim Possible , Lexi is an oridinary teen girl who well thinks she knows everything..but shes not a superhero.. Later she takes the case as her own to find the truth!

I wont give away anything because you have to see this, Its not the type of movie you want to spoil for someone!

Have fun watching!
