The Lizzie McGuire Movie

Summary: Cute, but lacks the charm of the TV series
Review: If I watched this film never having seen the TV show that it spun off of, I would have enjoyed it more, I think. I went in with extremely high expectations, since Lizzie McGuire is probably my all-time favorite show. It does a wonderful job of exploring the life of a teenage girl, especially in her relationships with her friends, her brother, and her parents. Part of the charm of the show is that it features people who seem very real in situations that are sometimes a little far-fetched, but generally resonate somehow with normal real life experiences.

The movie loses some of that by putting Lizzie and Co. in places and situations that are really quite implausible. The script also lacks much of the show's wit and intelligence, and the show's most interesting relationships (Lizzie and her mom, Lizzie and Matt, Lizzie and Gordo...) take a back seat to the developing romance between Lizzie and Paolo. For a show with SUCH a strong supporting cast, it's a shame to have many of them relegated to such minor roles. Also, the animated Lizzie who provides such penetrating insights into Lizzie's brain in the TV series is included almost as an afterthought, and her input is often extraneous.

All that being said, it is certainly a cute movie, with a great soundtrack, and a delightful star. It is fun and pleasant for all ages, and worth owning. But it's a different genre than the TV show.

Summary: Lizzie spin-off proves to be worth 5 stars
Review: This has to be the best teen movie ever! All the cast of the series is great in this big screen version. Hilary is at her very best as Lizzie, an all-American, girl-next-door who finds adventure on a school trip to Rome. The concert scenes are great. Hilary belts out "What Dreams Are Made Of." An absolutely incredible scene. The soundtrack is fantastic with hits from Hilary and Haylie Duff plus classics like An Evening in Roma and Volare. Alex Borstein is hilarious as Miss Ungermeyer, the school chaperone. There is simply no fault in the whole movie. A fantastic feel-good film for the entire family!

Summary: Lizzie's growing up
Review: It showed Lizzie graduating from Jr. High and represents growing up. Lizzie conquered a lot of things, she graduated Jr. High, got over her fear of being in front of an audience, she and Kate are on better terms (at least in Rome anyway), and lets just say she conquered Gordo.I mean ever sense 'First Kiss' it has been clear that a romance between Lizzie and Gordo would be blooming. Thanks to this movie audiences who were fans of the show left happy, knowing that Lizzie and Gordo had a deffinate future together. But also the emptyness of not knowing what else would happen to the two as for this being what could be the final installment of the Lizzie series. This movie is one of my favorites and I think it will always be my favorites no matter how old I get because each time I watch this movie or the Lizzie series I get right back into the age I was when this started and I am happy.

Summary: eeeeehhhhhhhh, soso...........
Review: The story line didn't really make alot of sense. I mean, one of the main points was that he lied and said he was sneaking out, not her, but he'd been with the group the whole time. Stuff like that, there were alot of really random non-senseical things in the movie. It wasn't a totally ruined movie, and much better than the crappy show. Mad TV's Alex Borstein was hilarious, though. That was probably the only thing that kept this movie from bein a total waste. So-so. I recommend seeing it if it comes on TV, but you probably shouldn't pay money for it. eh.

Summary: One Of Disney's Best Movies Ever!! I LOVED This Chick Flick!
Review: Walt Disney Pictures does it again, making a movie out of one of their own hit shows. Banking on the popularity of the half-hour comedy series "Lizzie McGuire", Disney did a great job reuniting 98% of the show's original cast, including the-dare I say it?-HOT Ashlie Brillault as Lizzie's nemesis, the lovely Kate Sanders. Don't misunderstand me though, I LOVE Lizzie; she is down to earth and sooo lovable. The soundtrack to this movie is AWESOME!! I think the movie's PG rating was just to attract older kids to seeing this family comedy. "Pirates Of The Caribbean" would be rated PG-13 the following summer and was a huge hit because a lot of people went to see it-in spite of the rating, because there was nothing objectionable in the film; just pure Disney fun. My favorite scenes are when Lizzie and Paolo are roaming through Rome, to "Volare" by Vitamin C and when she sings both versions of "What Dreams Are Made Of" (great song). I seriously hope that Disney makes a sequel to "The Lizzie McGuire Movie." I recommend this movie for the entire family. Rated G.

Summary: Hillary Duff Lets Us Down......
Review: This movie is one of the funniest movies I ever seen and also very entertaining, the director really had a great idea when he made this movie because sometimes they made movies from tv series and they totally mess up and here absolutely no! the message that Lizzie has graduate and is growing up is clear, I can say this because in the movie when she sees "Paolo" for the first time she "falls in love" beacuse is the fisrst time that a handsome boy is surprised by her, and the idea that she turns into a pop star and gave up her fear of being infront of an audience is great, this shows that you just have to trust in yourself and you can do that and more, also introduces Hilary as a singer and great introduction to her first solo cd "Metamorphosis" which is great.
All the characters from the tv show such as the "evil" Kate Sanders who turns her confident in this movie and also Lizzie's best and loyal friend "Gordo" who is soooo sweet and really an example of loyalty and finally (in his way) declares his love to Lizzie AAAAW!!! .
But in general is a great movie, it so great that when I saw it for the first time I turned into a Hilary's fan and I started to show it to my friends and they are now fans too, let me tell you that my friends are 30 years old.
