Summary: # 1 comedy of the Year!
Review: If you are a huge Lizzie Mcguire Fan, than you'll love this movie! Hilary Duff once again, surprise us with her talented acting with alot of improvements. This movie proves that she can dance,sing, and act! Lizzie graduates 8th grade and goes two a 2 week class trip to Rome,Italy. She is mistaken as Itallian popstar "Isabella"singing partner of Paolo, she is given a choice of Fame or to live a normal life with her family. Kate has a totally different image in this movie, Ethan is....well... the same, Mr. Ungermeyer is really funny!, Gordo get an unexspected surprise, Lizzie as always rock on screen and on stage!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good if you liked the show...
Review: Hilary Duff is easily the queen of the big mid-teens boom these days. Her Disney Channel show has turned Hilary into a mega-star, and if you enjoy her clumsy yet normal antics on the tube, you'll get a kick out of her antics as she tackles Rome.

The movie picks up at Lizzie's 8th grade graduation, as she is about to enter High School (Sadly the show has stopped filming, as High School is too mature for Disney viewers?). Lizzie and a number of other kids are going on a two-week trip to Rome to meet their new principal and get a taste of culture. Upon arriving, Lizzie makes a shocking discovery and is (kinda) torn between a new life or her old one. The ensemble cast is at its finest in this 95 minute flick, with great preformances by Kate, Ethan, and Gordo (her classmates) who make the movie a lot more funny. Alex Borstein, who plays the drill sargent like principal Ungermeyer really shines and is cause for some of the biggest laughs in the flick. The cartoon Lizzie from the shows is also prominent, and provides good narration for the flim.

The extra features on the dvd aren't anything special, and seem mainly there for the purpose of boosting Hilary's music career. In fact, one could argue that was the purpose of the movie,as her two songs are prominent throughout the film, which itself centered on preforming and singing. We'll see how it all turns out I suppose, but if you liked the show I'd say watch this flick. If you've never seen the show, maybe pass up the movie, as while it is entertaining, the plot is a little repetitive.

Summary: Disney movies are ruining the world!
Review: What I hate about Disney movies is how they give a false sense of reality. In Disney's world, there are no such things as corruption(Disney), terrorism, racism, violence, hatred, greed(Disney), or anything that is constantly plaguing the human race. In this movie, Britney wannabe Lizzie goes to Europe and suddenly becomes a pop star! This movie is not funny at all; in fact, none of Disney's movies are funny. If you found this movie funny, or if you find any Disney comedy funny, I feel sorry for you. Lizzie is encouraging child molesters to molest children(something Disney enjoys to see). Boycott Lizzie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lizzie McGuire Movie: Prego!
Review: I watched this movie about a year ago, and I absolutely loved it! I just had to rush out and get it on DVD once I had seen it in the theater. It mainly takes place in Rome, Italy. I'm a HUGE fan of Lizzie McGuire, and I still watch it. The only fault with the DVD was that on the back of it, it said that there was an alternate ending. I searched and searched and I couldn't find it in the special features. Other than that, it was a great DVD. If you like Lizzie McGuire, you'll love this DVD.

Summary: to much
Review: 'Isabella is my singing partner and you are like the sister, like two pods in a pea' That's from 'The Lizzie McGuire Movie' staring teen queen Hilary Duff as a Junior High school gradate is on thier class trip to Rome. She's spotted by Italian teen idol Paolo played by (Yani Gellman) who says she looks exactly like his earth while singing partner soon she seeking away from the class trip to tour of Rome on the back of Paolo's moped and it will thrill young teenage girls and terrify their parents. Paolo convinces Lizzie (Duff) to impersonate his partner to performe at an award show. She can lip-sync the lyrics he tells her. 'You will be great I know.' (Paolo) 'How do you know?'(Lizzie) 'Because, because you shine like the light from the sun.'(Paolo)
Hilary Duff who is very popular among young girls who is only 15 but looks older. Serves as a role model for girls who are obsesses with makeup and hairstyles, and popularity and don't have a though in their head. The movie celebrates beauty, popularity, above all other values, and its lighthearted fantasy for young teenagers and at that level of work just like her last movie 'Agent Cody Banks.' But Duff is talented and it time for her to move on to films with a few more ideas.
They did the same think in 'What a Girl Wants' with (Amanda Bynes) they go over to Europe and they become media sensations why not in this story just have her go to Rome and have the adventures and normal 15 year old girl might have. They pack on this Briteny Spears type of adventure for her, which is so over the top and so silly. They get rid of Paolo so she can actually do a duet with her-self and don't know how that happened but it's like she's just such a big star we can't even have the Italian singing star on screen anymore, it would be nice just to have seen her trip to Europe in reality time. Duff is a charming young actress but the material just isn't there

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am 18-years-old and I loved it!
Review: I know what you are thinking, 'She is 18-years-old and she still liked this movie?' I think that this is a great movie for people of all ages, young and old. It has everything a good movie should, a history lesson, music and a crazy love story.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie is a follow up on the hit Disney Channel Original Series Lizzie McGuire. The movie follows main characters, Lizze McGuire (Hilary Duff), David Gordon a.k.a. Gordo (Adam Lamberg), Kate Sanders (Ashlie Brillault) and the oh so cute but dumb as a brick, Ethan Craft (Clayton Snyder) on a trip to Rome, Italy.

Upon arriving in Rome, you will receive a short history lesson and you will get a quick view of the historic monuments that are a part of Rome. While on their first day of sightseeing Lizzie is mistaken for, a Roman pop star names Isabella (Hilary Duff). Once she is mistaken, she meets Isabella's singing partner Paolo Valisari (Yani Gellman). Lizzie soon falls in love with Paolo and he asks some, in my mind, crazy things of her. Lizzie, being in love, accepts his little challenges. In the end, Paolo does not turn out to be what he seems to be.

Hilary Duff shines in this movie with her singing, dancing and acting, of course. I saw this movie on opening night and I could not wait for is to be available on DVD for me to purchase. Immediately after I viewed the movie, I went to the nearest store that was happy and purchased The Lizze McGuire Movie Original Soundtrack. I have a good feeling that if you see the movie you will not only fall in love with it but you will also feel the need to own the soundtrack as well.

All good movies have a love story; great music and a history lesson or two to offer and The Lizzie McGuire Movie has it all. If you or someone you know likes Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel then this is the movie to get. I give it two thumbs and to big toes up!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool Movie!
Review: I love Hilary Duff! She's so cool. I like her much better than Mary-Kate and Ashley and Lindsay Lohan. I watch the Lizzie Mcguire TV series--it's funny and I love it. I also read the Lizzie McGuire books. This is a great movie and I recommend it. I've read reviews of New York Minute and it's not acceptable for kids to see. I wouldn't advise going to see it. However, this is a cool and clean movie. I also like Cheaper by the Dozen with Hilary Duff in it. It's a really funny movie. This movie is worth seeing and some of the outfits that Lizzie (Hilary Duff) wears are really funny.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Very fun!
Review: WOW! I love this movie! When I first saw it, it was WAY better than I expected. I, at the time, had never actually seen the show before. I just wanted to see the movie because I thought it looked fun, kinda romantic (in more of a fantasy kind of way), and just a great girls movie. It's the kind of movie that I like to watch when I'm in a girly-pop-star kind of mood. I suggest this movie to any girl that has sort of had a pop star kind of side to them, and that has not been watching the show all that much. I, for some reason, would think that somebody who has been watching the show for a while would be a little disapointed in this movie, but whatever. It could, and could not happen. If you liked the music in this movie, PLEASE buy the soundtrack! Anyway this is a REALLY FUN movie and it's sooooo enjoyable!

Summary: Cute for younger kids, but definately not for teens
Review: I babysit for a ten year old girl and she absolutely adores this movie. Every time I babysit her she puts it on, and I don't really have a problem with that. I don't like the Lizzie McGuire TV show, but the movie was actually pretty cute.

It starts off with Lizzie in her room dancing and singing on the day of her junior high graduation. She's excited about growing up and moving on in her life. But at graduation, she totally embarasses herself - she trips and falls, which ends up in a curtian falling on the graduating class.

Thankfully, Lizzie has the chance to forget her problems when she goes on her class trip to Rome - two weeks with no parents, her best friend, and her arch nemisis Kate is nowhere in sight. Until things take a turn for the worse, and Kate decides to go after all - and she rooms with Lizzie once they actually get to Rome. On the first day of sightseeing, Lizzie meets up with the popular Italian singer Paolo. He asks if he can see her again, and soon she's faking sick to be able to hang out with him. He tells her that she looks just like his old singing partner, but with blonde hair instead of brown, and somehow she ends up singing with him at a big awards show.

This movie is cute, but totally predictable and sugarcoated. I recommed it for younger kids though, because it doesn't have any dirty humor or language. THE LIZZIE MCGUIRE MOVIE isn't Oscar-worthy, but its a cute movie to watch with a group of friends.

Overall grade - C
