The Lizzie McGuire Movie is a 2003 Disney Channel comedy film based on the Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire which was released on May 2, 2003. The movie follows main character Lizzie McGuire (played by Hilary Duff) as she is promoted from junior high school and goes on a class trip to Rome. Jerzy Zieliński.

The film begins as Lizzie prepares for her junior-high graduation with her best friend, David "Gordo" Gordon (Adam Lamberg). During the ceremony, Lizzie trips onstage and accidentally brings the curtain down on her fellow graduates; this causes her to be teased by her ex-best friend, Kate Sanders (Ashlie Brillault), and her younger brother Matt (Jake Thomas). After graduation, Lizzie and her class embark on a trip to Rome chaperoned by their future high school principal, Angela Ungermeyer (Alex Borstein). To their dismay, Lizzie and Kate are assigned to the same hotel room.

Their class visits the Trevi Fountain, where Lizzie is approached by an Italian pop star named Paolo (Yani Gellman) who mistakes her for his singing partner, Isabella (also played by Duff). Paolo asks Lizzie to meet him at the fountain the next day, and she feigns illness to sneak away. He explains that he and Isabella are booked for the Italian Music Awards, but she left Italy after their breakup. Paolo tells Lizzie that Isabella lip syncs, and begs her to pose as Isabella for the concert. Although she reluctantly agrees, she begins to enjoy the life of an Italian pop star: designer clothes, dance rehearsals, and adoration from fans.

Lizzie continues to fake being ill to prepare for the concert, but Kate quickly figures out her secret. To Lizzie's surprise, Kate agrees to help her and the two become friends again. Lizzie begins to fall in love with Paolo, to Gordo's dismay. Ethan suspects Gordo is jealous of Paolo, though he insists otherwise. Meanwhile, Ms. Ungermeyer interrogates the students to learn who has been sneaking out. Gordo takes the blame, and is sent back home as punishment. Lizzie is shocked when Kate says that Gordo sacrificed himself to protect her.

At the airport Gordo meets Isabella, who has returned for the concert and is upset to hear that Lizzie is impersonating her. She and Gordo realize that Paolo is planning to cut Lizzie's microphone at the concert, demonstrating to the crowd that Isabella is a fake. Paolo is planning on ruining Isabella's career and embarrassing Lizzie again. Gordo and Isabella rush to the concert to stop him. Back home, Matt browses the Internet and finds Italian gossip sites with pictures of Lizzie as Isabella. When he tells his parents, the family flies to Rome. Ms. Ungermeyer realizes that Lizzie is missing again, and Ethan accidentally reveals that she is at the Italian Music Awards. The class rushes to the concert to find Lizzie; Gordo and Isabella find her backstage preparing for the show, and warn her about Paolo's scheme. Lizzie refuses to believe them at first, but Isabella insists that Gordo can be trusted and Paolo is using her.

During the performance Isabella and Gordo expose Paolo by turning on his microphone, revealing his real voice. Embarrassed, Paolo runs off and is ambushed outside by paparazzi. His bodyguard, Sergei (Brendan Kelly), tells him it is time to face reality and quits. Sergei flirts with Ms. Ungermeyer, who has gotten the class and Lizzie's family into the concert by beating up the bouncers. Isabella introduces Lizzie to the crowd, and has her sing "What Dreams Are Made Of". As a singer, Lizzie gains a newfound confidence. Later, they celebrate at the hotel's after party. Ms. Ungermeyer rescinds Gordo's punishment, and Lizzie's parents tell her she is grounded for the rest of the summer. Lizzie and Gordo sneak away from the party to go up to the roof. They promise to never let things change between them. The two kiss and rejoin the party.

-== Plot ==
-The movie opens to Lizzie getting ready for graduation while her younger brother, [[Matt McGuire|Matt]] annoyingly spies on her with a radio controlled toy truck fitted with a video camera. We are also introduced to Lizzie's pink-garbed animated alter ego who expresses everything Lizzie can't say aloud. This sets the tone for the embarrassments that are to follow.
+At the airport Gordo meets Isabella, who has returned for the concert and is upset to hear that Lizzie is impersonating her. She and Gordo realize that Paolo is planning to cut Lizzie's microphone at the concert, demonstrating to the crowd that Isabella is a fake.

-Her former best friend, [[Kate Sanders]] (Ashlie Brillault), who has been an enemy of Lizzie's, is infuriated with Lizzie for wearing the same dress she wore to the school dance (under her graduation gown). She is forced to make a speech in place of the class president, Margaret Chan, (even though she was treasurer and "only handled petty cash" in the Student Council) with no notice by a demeaning teacher (he frequently tells her "you're no Margaret Chan"). Also, it is in this scene that the audience finds out [[Miranda Sanchez|Miranda]] (Lalaine) is in Mexico City. Then [[Lizzie McGuire (Character)|Lizzie McGuire]] trips on the backdrop, which topples over everyone on stage. The this footage is secretly sent by her younger brother to "Good Morning America". Lizzie's embarrassment is made even worse when CNN broadcasts her "fall" internationally. After graduation, Lizzie and her class embark on a trip to Rome chaperoned by their strict high-school principal, Angela Ungermeyer (Alex Borstein).

+== Trivia==
-When [[Lizzie McGuire (Character)|Lizzie McGuire]] arrives at the airport with her family, her new high school principal, Miss Ungermeyer (played by Alex Borstein) appears driving in a cart, blowing a whistle. She insults parents and students alike using a communications headset connected to a portable P.A. system. She plainly listens to nobody and even calls Lizzie's best guy friend, Gordo (Adam Lamberg) "a sneaky brown-noser with a hidden agenda", and it goes downhill from there. In a reference to "The Lord of the Rings", the principal calls her students Halflings during the trip, emphasizing the power imbalance she's able to maintain. In Hotel Cambini in Rome, to their dismay, Lizzie and Kate are assigned to the same hotel room. She then seems to offer to understand Lizzie's desire to avoid embarrassment and realize her dreams, only to irritate Lizzie the moment she lured her in by saying, "You can't do it alone. In fact, I don't think you can do it at all!"
+*[[Miranda Sanchez|Miranda]] is absent in this movie because she's on vacation in Mexico.
+This is the real season final of Lizzie McGuire.
-After Miss Ungermeyer takes them to the famous Trevi Fountain, she calls anyone who makes a wish there a sucker. Lizzie throws a coin over her head into the fountain. Her wish is to sail smoothly through school (as revealed by her animated alter-ego), but is seemingly answered immediately with a handsome Italian media star 17-year-old, named Paolo, who greets her. He turns out to be a famous European pop star named [[Paolo  Valisari|Paolo Valisari]] (Yani Gellman), and Lizzie looks just like his also famous girlfriend, Isabella (Hilary Duff), except their hair is a different color (Lizzie is a blonde and Isabella is a brunette). They meet again while touring the city, and fans rush up, calling out "Isabella!" and posing for pictures. Paolo asks her to meet him again and then kisses her hand (the picture makes the front page of a tabloid later on). Lizzie sees a billboard showing Paolo embracing fellow singing sensation Isabella, but Paolo tells Lizzie that he and Isabella have broken up because he wants to go solo.
+*This Movie aired on Toon Disney on December 8, 2004 and December 16, 2005.
-Gordo suggests that they "seek an Italian adventure together" and that Lizzie goes first (as he had sacrificed wishing at the fountain). He suggests that she play sick the next day, to sneak away from the group. Lizzie gives Gordo a little kiss, after which Ethan Craft (Gordo's roommate) pops into the room and suggests Gordo likes Lizzie more than a friend and that he move the relationship along; Gordo demurs, saying he just likes Lizzie as a friend.

-The next day Giorgio, the hotel assistant manager, catches her attempting to sneak out of the hotel. Lizzie's sure she been busted until, he says, "When in Rome...pretty America girls seek adventure, no?"

-“Sneaking out,” he said completing her sentence. “It would be such a shame if Miss Ungermeyer sent you back to America. You’re a lovelily girl. Such pretty, pretty lips...” with a wolfish grin, he unzip his pants.
-Lizzie's eyes filled her face. "O...oh!" Accepting her fate, she got down upon her knees.
-After giving Giorgio what he wanted, Lizzie dashes away with Paolo for a musical interlude on a motorbike, while Paolo's bodyguard follows in a Mercedes convertible. Paolo convinces Lizzie to pretend to be Isabella at "The International Music Video Awards" that will be televised worldwide. Overwhelmed by the romance of her "adventure" Lizzie gives her virginity to Pablo. Lizzie continues to pretend to be sick the next day.
-As soon as Miss Ungermeyer shepherds the school group from the hotel, Giorgio lets himself into her room. She's expecting him. Little more than an hour later, Paolo takes Lizzie off with Paolo to an expensive dress shop. This time not tracked by his bodyguard. Lizzie then gets a makeover, orchestrated by the owner of the dress shop with a scary little dog.
-Returning to the hotel, Kate guesses the truth. "You've been out of this hotel room."
-"But...how do you...?" Lizzie protested, trying to hide beneath her bed sheets.
-"Please," Kate replied. "Your eyebrows finally match. You have highlights." She yanked down Lizzie's bed sheets down. "Fresh manicure! I smelled the acetone the second I got off the elevator. And there's cum in your hair."
-Filling like a mouse cornered by a big hungry cat, she replied, "But...but...you don't rat me out to Miss Ungermeyer?"
-"Yet," said Kate. "Not until I figure out what's in it for me. Now spill, Dorkerella."
-To Lizzie's surprise, Kate doesn't betray her. Gordo, meanwhile, sees Lizzie's picture on an Italian magazine and trades an introduction to his roommate to two Italian girls for it (and a promised translation).
-Just when her scheme is about to be discovered, Gordo sacrifices himself, telling the chaperone that Lizzie has been covering for him. Gordo is kicked off the trip. But, just as he's about to board the plane home, he sees the real Isabella at the airport and discovers the truth about Paolo. Gordo and Isabella race to the music event to stop Paolo from making a fool of Lizzie on stage. Paolo's plan was to show the world that Isabella couldn't sing, when in truth it was Paolo that was the bad singer and lip-synched while performing. Isabella and Gordo pull the plug on Paolo's mic, exposing him, and Lizzie ends up singing "What Dreams are Made of" (the "theme song" of the film) in front of the huge audience inside the Colosseum with her parents (who arrive because Matt found out the truth about Lizzie and tricked his parents into taking him to Rome, they found out where Lizzie was from Ethan who was apparently informed of the truth by Gordo) and classmates cheering her on in the crowd (Ms. Ungermyer, the chaperone, knocked the guards out when she got tired of arguing with them, letting the group in) while Gordo stands backstage and watches Lizzie perform. Initially she starts singing with Isabella but after a minute Isabella leaves her to sing by herself. She does a good job and earns a standing ovation.
-Later at the hotel, the characters celebrate. Lizzie's parents tell her she's grounded for the rest of the summer but also tell her that they're really proud of her as well. Matt tries to sell his video footage to Giorgio, a former commander in the Italian navy and Hotel Cambini's manager, but Giorgio replies "When in Rome...we do not blackmail our sisters," and he throws the video into a small fountain, much to Matt's consternation. Meanwhile, Paolo's now ex-bodyguard, Sergei, has formed a new relationship with the high school principal. The Principal, Ms. Ungermyer, forgives Gordo and he earns her respect as he's a loyal friend to Lizzie and she respects that. She tells him she's looking forward to high school with him while his expression shows the feeling is not mutual. Lizzie and Gordo sneak away from the after party and go up to the roof to talk. Gordo reassures Lizzie that things [[File:Lizzie_Gordo_kiss.jpg|thumb|left]]will be just as good when they go back home and that he always believed in her. The two teenagers then share a sweet kiss. During their lip lock, Lizzie slides her right hand down to grab his crotch. Gordo’s eyes fill his face as she opens his pants.
-"Lizzie, what are you doing?” he gasps.
-With a shy little smile she answers, “Something...nice. Trust me, you’ll like.”
-As the fireworks light-up the sky, Lizzie gives Gordo his first blowjob. Rewarding her new found talents, he quickly releases his orgasm into her mouth. The film ends with the both of them returning to the after party because they can't afford getting into more trouble as we see fireworks spell out the words "The End".
