At home, Lizzie gets to deal with her hyper year-old younger brother, Matt Jake Thomas , whose antics comprise most of the B-storylines in these episodes. Matt's passion for pranks and schemes often annoy Lizzie and get her in trouble with her parents. As far as parents go, Sam and Jo are pretty cool, but that's the last word Lizzie would use to describe them, except on the certain occasions when she sees their good qualities.
More often, they embarrass Lizzie in her world where image carries a definite importance. These types of parent-child moments provide the show with some of its heartiest laughs, mostly due to Carradine's aloof father. The show follows Lizzie on her adventures in and outside of school, as she tries out different images and adventures, while seeking to remain faithful to her friends and family. There is an interesting mixture of characteristics several contradictory , which work together to make "Lizzie McGuire" what it is.
The show offers a slick appearance, with a barrage of neat visual techniques, sound effects, and quick cuts making for a fast pace and glossy feel. At the same time, there's a sincere sensibility to Lizzie's plights and it's clear that an effort has been made not to allow the show to fall into complete superficiality.
There are some keen observations on adolescence today, similar to the way "Seinfeld" looked at the adult world, but without the cynicism. Still, as with any comedy show which manages to maintain a broad appeal, the show's sense of humor and subject matter never disarm its audience.
The result is semi-satisfying: a bouncy show which deftly balances both the bizarre and the universal, presenting the white-washed junior high experience and also an open-mindedness to alternative ways of thinking. Presented here are the first 22 episodes apparently arranged by production order, not airdate. Like other Disney Channel shows, "Lizzie" ended its run with 65 episodes. The channel dragged out the final ten shows for a year; when the last episode finally aired earlier this year, it was nearly two years after it was filmed.

Pool Party Originally aired February 2, Lizzie and Miranda are very excited about getting invited to Danny Kessler's pool party. But the party is on the day of Lizzie's grandmother's 80th birthday, so she can't go.
Things get even more frustrating for Lizzie when Miranda not only plans on still going, but starts to hang around with old best friend and now-brat Kate Sanders. With a little help from Gordo and her parents, Lizzie finds a pretty satisfying resolution.

Ethan Craft pressures Gordo into mugging for his picture. Rumors Originally aired January 12, Kate makes the cheerleading team and Lizzie doesn't.

Storyline Edit. Teen queen Lizzie McGuire grows up a bit and hits the big screen in this comedy drama, based on the popular Disney Network series.
Lizzie McGuire and her best friends Kate, Gordo, and Ethan have just graduated from middle school, and to celebrate, they're taking part in a class trip to Rome, Italy. Eager to celebrate their new maturity as high school students, Lizzie and her pals hope to live it up in one of Europe's most fabled cities, but fate has something more spectacular in store for Lizzie. Lizzie discovers that she bears a striking resemblance to Isabella, an Italian teen-pop idol famous for her duets with heart-throb Paolo -- so much so that when Paolo and Isabella have a falling out, he asks Lizzie to take Isabella's place for an upcoming concert.
Lizzie, however, isn't sure she feels comfortable stepping into the spotlight, and is even less sure about the way she feels about Paolo, who makes no secret of his infatuation with her. Things don't get any simpler for Lizzie when her family gets wind of her newfound fame, and catch the next flight to Italy.

Fine for kids, and adults if you ignore the potholes in the story. I ended up seeing this show because my daughter is a big fan of the TV show. It was moderately entertaining and amusing. My biggest complaints, as an adult viewer, were the fairly obvious potholes in the story.
Paolo sang worse than me, which is truly amazing. In reality, if he was ever to get to the point of being a star with the ability to have all the fancy manipulations used to make his voice sound delightful on the studio cuts he was lip-syncing, he would have to a fairly decent singer to get any kind of break.
The setting was in Italy, but everyone seemed more comfortable using English, except for the hotel clerk, whose language trouble was comic relief and the two girls the boys try to meet.
