Raises the bar for movies geared to teens.

Ms. Duff's screen presence and the film's infectious high spirits will make this piece of fluff appealing to young moviegoers without conveying any sinister messages

Iconic movie, a must-watch if you were/are a teen in the 2000s / 2010s. Hilary Duff is amazing in this movie.

Um fiolme muito bom, claro que é um filme teen tipico, porém tem algo legal nele, Hilary trouxe magia, fez algo emocionante e divertido. Não é nada inovador, porém é algo legal para a época.

An awkward and sometimes confused thing fraught with overwrought emotions and misguided ideals.

Duff, who became a teen-set role model portraying Lizzie McGuire for Disney, has sold over four million records and toured to packed houses, yet screenwriter Sam Schreiber and director Sean McNamara, both making feature debuts, set her up to sing just one song through to completion.

Loaded with so much drama that the story sinks into a grim, sloppy soap-opera mix.

The film suffers from a syndrome I'll call the Pop Princess's New Clothes. Hilary can't really sing, and neither can Terri, so you can't help but wonder, what's the big whoop?

Hilary Duff is great, the film is pretty harmless and enjoyable enough for the target audience.

this movie is terrible. they should put a warning label on this saying 'DO NOT BUY'. It was awful,it was just another typical teen movie about singing - AGAIN. this is literally the worst film i have ever seen. and i have seen some terrible movies. i strongly advise that you dont see this.
