I found that this movie wasn't much like the Lizzie McGuire TV show. Actually, looking back, there are a lot of things about it that bother me. First of all, the cast and scenery. All the characters seemed a little different in some way, not completely the same. And Lizzie had a different house from that on the show. Second, the whole movie was basically about Lizzie blowing off Gordo and lying to get out of tours so she could hang out with Paolo. I found that to also be different from the TV series. Usually Lizzie is at least a LITTLE nicer than that. I also think certain things were taken to extremes in the movie, such as Matt, and Mr. and Mrs. McGuire flying all the way to Rome just because Matt missed Lizzie and the dad thought she might be around boys that wanted to be her boyfriend. There were a few things I liked, though, such as how Lizzie and Kate got along in some parts.

Overall, I would say that if you love Lizzie McGuire, you might like this movie. But don't expect it to be too much like the show!
