Based on a US TV series, this Disney charm-fest serves up the comic foibles of lovable Lizzie McGuire and her pals Gordo, Kate, and Ethan.
Following a disastrous graduation ceremony, during which Lizzie accidentally destroys the presentation stage, she and her pals pack their bags and plan to live la dolce vita while on a class trip to Italy.
Once there, Lizzie is mistaken for Isabella (who is part of an Italian pop duo) and begins to fall for Paolo (Isabella's handsome Italian pop star former boyfriend).
When Lizzie's mum, dad, and annoying brother Matt get wind of this, they all jet their way to the boot country.
In the meantime, Lizzie is transformed from a gawky teen to a beautiful pop star, Gordo struggles to understand his true feelings for her, and a whirlwind of surprising events force Lizzie to find the true meaning of friendship.
The Lizzie McGuire Movie retains the same cast as the television series and an identical mix of comedy and drama. For teenage girls, it's a must; for everyone else a curiosity.
Starring Hilary Duff, Adam Lamberg, Yani Gellman, Alex Borstein, Clayton Snyder
