    Hilary Duff does NOT know how to act she is always fidgeting around with her hair, putting her hands on her hips, and those lips of her the way she always puts them! It gets on peoples' nerves!!! literally, this is seen in almost all her movies!!!

    I thought it was good, I mean give hilary credit, it was that bad even thought it copied a bit off mary-kate and ashley movies. I enjoyed it, plus a friend was in it as a dancer so it was even better. (kevin Mylrea)

    Giant commercial for Hilary Duff franchise. Reinforces that all you have to have is good looks and life will be good. The kid has no real talent as an actress or singer. Does anyone know the real reason that LaLaine left the show with only a few episodes left to make? It is because Hilary Duff really is the personification of "it's all for me" Diva. She is not the nice girl she portrays in her character. I hate Disney for promoting these kinds of values...... Expand

    One of the worst movies Disney's ever made. I can't believe Ebert called Duff 'skilled'! Poor thing; Roeper's finally driven him mad.

    Was that really a movie?? I'd never seen an ending quite like that. Neither had the ONE other person in the theatre with me. Hilary Duff is cute, but she definitely acts her age. I'd be interested to see where her career is in about 10 to 12 years.

    I am 12 years old and I had to go with my sister to see this movie. It wasn't that bad, really. It has nothing to do on how "cute" Hilary is. It was just a very funny movie. It's amazing, I actually didn't fall asleep during this one!

    I really can't rate this movie because i never seen it i have heard that it is really stupid but ..... i think that from the previews it looks like a very cute movie but she copied A LOT off of mary-kate and Ashleys "When in Rome" move.

    This is the kind of movie you want to see. The kind that starts with friendship and ends in romance. Not to mention Adam Lamberg is soo sweet and cute!! And all those people who thinks otherwise just shut up!!! Nobody cares what you think!!

    Maybe its because I'm a NORMAL 13 year-old boy, but after being dragged to the movie theater to see this horrific movie, I'm traumatized for life. Those attempts at comedy fell flat on their face, much like Lizzie while walking the red carpet. The plot has nothing to offer and is basically Lizzie and whats-her-face screaming about hot guys and Lizzie-uh-singing. Although I still must say Duff may have a future despite an early career fluke like this. Only see this movie if your on drugs. Otherwise, you may be in serious pain. Expand

    Blah, boring. is it seriously possible that lizzie and a famous singer would look so alike? i don't think so. it was something only a 12 year old would enjoy. how many girls hilary duff's age thought this movie was amazing? and i can't believe hilary is actually going to try and sing.

    If everyone thinks that Hilary Duff is 'skilled' and is a beautiful actress, than I must be the next God for the films! GEEZE, Hilary can't act worth poop! I am an actress who does shakespeare and such and I can tell you that she doesn't fool me when she 'tries' to cry. She's pathetic...this movie is pathetic.

    San Fransisco Chronicle, what the hell is wrong with you? First Pitch Black, then A.V.P., then Sin CIty?. All excellent films that you gave zeroes, yet you give this an 100?!?!?!?! In agreement with Sarah M., Hilary is a stuck-up b...h that thinks she can act and sing, but she's a talentless moron for starring in this crap and the awful Raise Your Voice (I gave it a 2). In fact, her only decent film was the enjoyable Cinderella Story (and i didn't wanna see that because of this!). Back to the San Fransisco Chronicle, you people are just some sick bastards playing a sick Joke. Expand

    This movie was torture to watch. The script was awful. Hilary Duff's voice made me want to claw my ear drums out. As for her acting, I wanted to ask the person next to me to blind my with a fork while I was watching the movie. Over all, I give this movie a big 0.

    Lizzie McGuire's "Movie" doesn't try to be anything more than a superficial escapist fantasy for fans of the show.

    Duff is a charming heroine who carries the movie cheerfully, if not gracefully--the pratfalls come early and often.
