Save your money for something good and enjoyable

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Lizzie McGuire is 1 of those classic Disney Channel shows that I truly adore. I've started re- watching the episodes on Youtube again, and to this day, I still enjoy it, and the movie, which went to theaters, proved to be a really enjoyable film, as well as a perfect farewell to these characters. I love all the characters, and almost every episode, the 3 best friends, Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda really care about each other, and they have an incredibly strong friendship, Lizzie's brother Matt is always doing something interesting and funny, whether it's getting in trouble with his parents, or some kind of fun or mischief with his silent best friend Lanny, who strangely enough, only Matt can understand, Ethan Craft may be a complete airhead, but he's a cool guy in general, and gives some good advice on rare occasions, Kate Sanders maybe a snobby, popular cheerleader, but it's clear that she has a good heart and can be kind to Lizzie and her friends when it counts, and Larry Tudgeman may be the geekiest kid around, but he's funny, smart, and on rare occasions, he shows that he can be cool and sophisticated.Character development is a really strong point in the show, because throughout the show, the writers always seemed eager to develop each of the characters in one way or another. This ranges in a wide variety from building up on Matt and Lizzie's sibling relationship, Lizzie and Miranda's friendship, Gordo's personal struggles such as the initiation of becoming a man and having his own Bar Mitzvah, being possessed by that board game known as "Dwarf Lord", going over to High School due to his high level of intelligence, and his feelings for Lizzie, Miranda's diet due to her lack of confidence in regards to her body, (which was triggered by Gordo's comment of, "Oh man, you guys eat a lot"), Larry going out on a date with Lizzie, and being the only kid in the school not getting invited to Miranda's party, and even Lizzie's parents learn things about themselves, and eventually they become better parents in the process as the show went on. With the exception of Claire, none of the characters in this show are 1-dimensional.The humor is funny and there's usually a good moral at the end of each episode, and there are even a few guest stars that I didn't know were in there such as Dot-Marie Jones, who currently plays Coach Beiste on Glee, I was surprised to see that she was on the show for 5 episodes. I miss this show, it too, just like Even Stevens, should've lasted for more than 3 seasons, because these characters' stories could've been taken so much further, had ABC chosen to pick up the spin-off idea of Lizzie and her friends in High School, that would've been really interesting to see. But, what's done is done, and I'm glad that I even got to experience Lizzie McGuire, which reminds me, when I really got into this show, it was already over and they were showing reruns, but the difference is that unlike Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire was shown constantly, so I was less likely to miss an opportunity to see that.Now I already mentioned this in my Even Stevens review, but the one negative and frustrating thing about this show is the fact that Lizzie and her friends were in Middle School the whole time, and they should've been in High School, but here's the difference; in Lizzie Mcguire, it was a little bit more convincing in the long-run that they were in Middle School, but still, they should've had the characters in High School.That's all I really have to say about Lizzie McGuire, it was an amazing, funny, and interesting show, I loved it a lot, the characters were so interesting that there wasn't a time where you became bored of them, and it truly was a classic Disney Channel show, I wish we had shows like this one again. 9/10!

To me, Lizzie McGuire is one of those shows that is far, far superior to almost any of its contemporary programs on Disney at the time or since. The kind of show that by its success inspires the network to create hordes of formulaic imitations, most of which completely miss the mark of what really made this one special. I was already in my twenties when Lizzie McGuire first came onnthe air, and I enjoyed wholeheartedly. Maybe I am unusually young atnheart, but I maintain that given that the target demographic is tweens and that it was not supposed to be realistic in a sober, gritty sort of way, that it was an extremely high quality, well executed, watchable show.It never felt to me like your typical extremely fake, disposable sitcom. Sure, the mood was often light, but within the stylization, the characters seemed real. Even the McGuire home set seemed like a real home, not a shallow diorama flooded with artificial lighting. The cast was terrific (especially Lizzie's parents), and the frequent fast-cut flashbacks and internal voices were utilized extremely well. A very funny show, in a refreshingly quirky way. To me, and this is just a parallel thought and not a direct comparison, Lizzie McGuire is to Disney Channel sitcoms as Seinfeld is to sitcoms in general. Far superior.

What do I think about this? Very Cheesy I think. Lizzie Mguire played by Hilary Duff is OK but everything else is cheesy. OK sometimes I watch it if American Dragon is on but it really is silly and cheesy. I mean if I watch it I get bored of how cheesy it is. I can't stop saying that word Cheesy now but that's what it is. Sometimes a few (only a few)of the eposodes are OK but most of the time they're not. If you try the Lizzie Mguire Movie you are sure to get a bigger smile on your face but maybe the eposodes are not really that good. So over all I give it a 4/10 not a 10/10 or not an awful 0/10 if you can actually do that. But a hmmm not sure 4/10 is sutable.

Let's be honest with ourselves... Despite some people's hate for Disney Channel, Hilary Duff, or 'stupid kids shows' all together, this really actually was a good show. Story lines playfully cliché, lovable characters, good morals, and for kids, the acting wasn't that bad. In a way for myself, 'Lizzie McGuire' brought a clear end to the Nineties television era, as the last of a very good decade. The days of quality shows on Nickelodeon, Disney and other channels came to and end, with shows like 'Lizzie McGuire' and 'Even Steven's' as the last of them. Today's shows are far from what they used to be.Today's television just isn't the same, but it's always nice to look back.
