THE LIZZIE McGUIRE MOVIE (U)
daydreamer Lizzie McGuire hits the big screen in this enjoyable and undemanding wish-fulfilment fantasy based on the TV series that has made Hilary Duff known to teenagers.
Like its small-screen counterpart, The Lizzie McGuire Movie is a light-hearted romp about a young girl finding her way in the world.
The plucky heroine's inner thoughts and conscience are represented by a pint-sized animated Lizzie, a cute narrative device that accounts for many of the film's gentle laughs.
Following a disastrous graduation ceremony, Lizzie (Duff) is off to Rome with classmates Adam Lamberg, Ashlie Brillault and Clayton Snyder.
On her very first day in Rome, Lizzie is mistaken for Italian pop sensation Isabella, the girlfriend and singing partner of dreamboat idol Paolo (Yani Gellman).
Duff sparkles in her twin roles as Lizzie and Isabella, who meet with the help of computer trickery.
There is some swearing but no sex or violence.
