During summer break, Lizzie McGuire (Hilary Duff) and her closest pals head off on a school-sponsored journey to Rome. Before long she makes the acquaintance of Paolo Valisari (Yani Gellman), a local music sensation whose duet partner looks almost exactly like Lizzie. Since Paolo and his collaborator recently feuded, Lizzie agrees to stand in for the girl at a massive concert and pretend to sing while a recording plays. But when things don't go as planned, she must rely on her own vocal chops.

Critics Consensus

Harmless piece of fluff that ought to satisfy fans of the TV show.

As it goes with the TV show, so it goes with the movie, which benefits from being shot largely in Rome and suffers from trying to stretch its sitcom antics to feature length.

Granted, it's not going to ever be confused with an actual 'good' movie, but for young kids looking for a diversion and parents hoping like crazy to find them one, this more than fits the bill.

Rated: 2.5/4

Radio Times

No Three Coins in the Fountain cliché is left unused in this inane confection that is sugar-coated blandness personified and not remotely funny.

Rated: 2/5

[A] sitcommish film that astutely builds on the Disney Channel's eponymous series.

Toledo Blade

Here, we get a Bizarro Europe where the modest pleasures of the cable series are skipped to make room for a plot every American kiddie flick takes when it heads overseas. It aspires to nothing more than smiling imitation.

Rated: 2/5

Hilary Duff's iconic role in The Lizzie McGuire Movie is a testament to her talent and enduring appeal. It's heartening to see a Disney Channel star thrive beyond their childhood fame, and Hilary Duff's down-to-earth presence is undoubtedly part of her lasting charm. The film is an overall fun experience. Grading: C+

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.
