A clever, agreeably weightless theatrical outing.

The filmmakers must have figured that because Duff is so cute and lovable, a compelling plot wasn't needed.

Jane Horwitz Washington Post (Top Critic)

A smug, cutesy music video/ fashion show for [Hilary] Duff.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

Doesn't try to be more than what it is: a romantic fantasy caper.

Shockingly wholesome and lots of fun, Lizzie's just the kind of girl parents want their children to hang out with.

[Borstein] is the only really delightful element in the movie; everything else is simply slick and professional.

Allison Benedikt Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

63

By filling in what the story lacks in originality with easy attractions like pretty faces, set to fluffy music, the filmmakers lose the outsider edge the Lizzie McGuire franchise was built on.

Karen Heller Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

Parents will adore this instructional, hopeful message. Young Duff Buffs, like my 7-year-old companion, will be in a state of beatitude.

Lizzie McGuire is the new Gidget.

It is good, clean fun and likely does not spell the end of Western civilization.

Ah, Clueless. Now there's a good movie. Here's guessing the guys who wrote Lizzie McGuire never saw it.

A banal slice of fluff.

The story is essentially flawed, and so is the presentation.

Ray Conlogue Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

Altogether a wasted opportunity from a Disney organization which grows more sclerotic by the minute.

Director Jim Fall has orchestrated Lizzie's dream vacation with energy and humor.
