The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)

The Lizzie McGuire Movie spins around the axis of Disney Channel starlet Hilary Duff, whose glossy good looks and rather mature figure are balanced by a sweetly bashful persona and an endearing klutziness. On a school trip to Rome, Lizzie is discovered to be the virtual twin of an Italian pop star named Isabella--and her dreamy former partner wants Lizzie to take Isabella's place at an award show to avoid a lawsuit. Only Lizzie's loyal best friend Gordo (Adam Lamberg) suspects that Paolo may not be all that he seems. The Lizzie McGuire Movie is competent fluff, but the most fun to be had actually comes from Lizzie's pesky little brother (Jake Thomas) and his Machiavellian friend Melina (Carly Schroeder), who plot to humiliate Lizzie for fun and personal gain. Also featuring Alex Borstein (Mad TV) as Lizzie's tyrannical principal and chaperone. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

Lizzie Goes Rome!

"The Lizzie McGuire Movie" is really good! Lizzie is mistaken for a famous singer, Isabella, who looks alot like her, except for their hair color (Lizzie's is blond, while Isabella's is brunette). This means that right after Lizzie makes a wish, tossing a coin into a fountain, the fun begins when she goes from a regular (junior) high school student to a popular singer! You'll love her song, "What Dreams are Made of!" This movie's as good as:



* "The Cheetah Girls 2"

* "Bratz: Genie Magic"

* "High School Musical"

* "Grease"

* and "A Hard Day's Night!"



Buy this for your daughter's/sister's/niece's/stepsister's birthday! She'll love it! June 23, 2007

So Cute!

Hillary Duff is adorable and she has come a long way from her TV roots, but I'll always remember her as the plucky Lizzy McGuire.

This totally did the TV show justice. April 13, 2007

I really enjoyed watching it.

I really enjoyed the Lizzie McGuire movie. It was light and entertaining.
But I don't know if I would want my daughter to watch it because it's based on deception and I am really concerned about her not learning the wrong thing.

Lizzie is pretending to get sick so she could sneak out and do other things. But for those who already know right from wrong and won't be convinced that lying is ok based on this movie, it's entertaining. February 11, 2007

Parents, Think Twice!

The only thought in my mind throughout this whole movie was the Natalie Holloway case, about the girl last summer that went on that school trip, went off with a boy and disappeared. In this movie, Hilary Duff's character is on a school trip to Rome, meets a guy there and then fakes sick to get away from the school group to follow this guy around Rome. I felt so bad that Disney had made this movie showing a young girl going off on her own with a boy she did not know on a school trip because it rang so close to home from that tragic dissappearance of Natalie Holloway. In this movie the only repurcussions the character gets for doing such completely unsafe acts was that she was grounded..and they didn't even show that part. Young girls are very impressionable and will jsut see the glamour in the movie. Hopefully they will be brough up by good parents that will teach them right to know better than to go off with a stranger in a strange place. January 23, 2007
