Director Jim Fall has orchestrated Lizzie's dream vacation with energy and humor.
... [Duff's] a very charming young actress, but the material just isn't there.
Doesn't try to be more than what it is: a romantic fantasy caper.
A smug, cutesy music video/ fashion show for [Hilary] Duff.
The story is essentially flawed, and so is the presentation.
For what it aspires to be -- and we're not talking Sense and Sensibility here -- it works.
The target audience will absolutely adore it.
...the end result is an effort that'll surely have a much more positive effect on fans than on neophytes to the Lizzie McGuire saga.
Young girls (and boys in love with Hilary Duff) will love this film, while parents will probably just roll their eyes.
No one will claim that the pre-teen market is saturated with movies for girls, thus The Lizzie McGuire Movie is a welcome addition that fills the bill...
A fantasy that teaches girls that popularity and material possessions are the most important things in life and will fall right into your lap if you're adorable enough.
As driving-around-in-the-car-with-the-top-down, putting-on-your-lip-gloss, loving-life moviemaking, it's all good.
Lizzie may be cheesy and disappointingly straight-laced but all in all she's a bit of fun.
Passable entertainment for the young teen set that's far from memorable, but at least offers a few sparks of life.
Disney is kind of ruining the film industry with shit like this.
