Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

SnoopyStyle This is a family show about three best friends; Lizzie McGuire (Hilary Duff), Miranda Sanchez (Lalaine), and David 'Gordo' Gordon (Adam Lamberg). Lizzie deals with her parents (Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine) and bratty brother Matt (Jake Thomas) at home, and various kids at school.The show is good tween drama with a loving family and traditional school themes. It was tremendously successful. It launched a whole line of never ending tween girl TV shows with incredible marketing powers. It's a new form of Disney princess after decades of Disney kid stars. The nice part is that she's not cynical in any way and is super sweet. Each episode ends with a blooper reel which is again sweet and cute. That's show. Sweet and Cute.

Helio Copter 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.

TheLittleSongbird I am not saying that this is the best show on Disney, because it isn't. But along with Phineas and Ferb and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody it is one of the better ones, and much better than Hannah Montana and Cory in the House, which are full of the things that the negative commentators criticise this show for(ie. bad acting, bad writing and stereotyping).Yes some of the characters are clichéd and some of the situations predictable, but we also have some funny writing and some story lines that work really nicely. The show is not that bad to look at, and I like the music, it is pretty funky. And the acting is not that bad, Hilary Duff is not the best actress ever but she is likable, and that is the same with her co-stars. Overall, you mayn't like this show at first, but I honestly don't think it is that bad. I have seen better shows but there are much worse out there as well. 8/10 Bethany Cox

friendsforever2429 Lizzie McGuire is a pathetic show featuring Hilary Duff. is Lizzie mentally gone crazy or something that she keeps feeling sad on every other issue? Her clothes are horrible and her hair is made in a peculiar fashion.the animated Lizzie is no good. Did the directors think that this is going to improve the show. i mean did they already know that the show was bad?About a few years ago Matt was of my age and i remember that i wasn't so immature , at least i had brains. Then the freaky episodes. " How could she say that to me?" is what Lizzie usually says when Kate say loser and goes away."Personally i would have asked " how could she have not said anything back to Kate?" secondly Ethan craft the nerdy dork , who was at first the bad boy and later the nerd of course. he is so ugly and i really felt like bashing him up when he said " Lizzie thanks for telling me that co mo SE lama is a french word as i thought it meant i was calling a lama.how could Lizzie love anyone so pathetic? secondly i thought Miranda had a crush on Ethan as well. So why is she helping Lizzie get him? let's go on with the freaky episodes Lizzie becomes a gymnast. I could easily tell that Kate and Miranda made those mistakes purposely. And Lizzie tells Kate " Kate you are so good at everything then why can't you let a girl like me do something?" with puppy eyes. Tell me who can compliment an enemy? does she know about Kate's supremacy? Later Frankie Munoz suddenly walks into their class and says Lizzie i think you are very beautiful , will you go out with me , the star? i mean personally i think Lizzie is the ugliest person in the class and that Kate and Miranda look much better.Then Lizzie and Miranda sneak into Aaron carters video. Lizzie decides to go and meet Aaron carter who suddenly opens the door and kisses her . i mean he doesn't even know who she is so just because she is the protagonist she gets a kiss from both Frankie and Aaron carter? Lizzie tries to impress Ethan by wearing a hat? a hat????he first tells her Lizzie we are just friends and she starts crying. then she wears a hat and asks him to a dance he is hypnotized by her but ultimately he thinks of her as a friend. Lizzie , Miranda and Gordo have a fight , a major one in their eyes because they didn't call each other in the morning. How lame is that? that's why Lizzie McGuire gets the rating of 1/10.
