Plot
The movie opens to Lizzie getting ready for graduation while her younger brother, Matt mischievously spies on her with a radio controlled toy truck fitted with a video camera. Matthew McGuire, also known simply as Matt was a fictional character from the Disney Channel TV Series Lizzie McGuire. This is during the credits, during which viewers are expected to overlook Lizzie's failure to notice the truck following her around while she prepares. We are also introduced to Lizzie's pink-garbed animated alter ego who expresses everything Lizzie can't say aloud. This episode sets the tone for a series of embarrassments that are to follow.
Before the 15-minute mark, she is photographed falling into the tub (clothed); her former best friend, Kate Sanders (Ashlie Brillault), who has been an enemy is infuriated with Lizzie for wearing the same dress she wore to the school dance(under her graduation gown). Ashlie Theresa Brillault (born May 21, 1987) is an American actress. She is forced to make a speech in place of the class president, Margaret Chan, (even though she was treasurer and "only handled the petty cash" in the Student Council) with no notice by a demeaning teacher (he frequently tells her "you're no Margaret Chan"); . For colleges and universities see Students' union Student council is a curricular or Extra-curricular activity for Also, it is in this scene that the audience finds out Miranda (Lalaine) is in Mexico City. Lalaine Ann Vergara-Paras (born June 3, 1987 in Burbank, California) also known as Lalaine, is an American actress Mexico City (in Spanish: Ciudad de México, México DF, México or simply Méjico) is the Capital city of Mexico Then Lizzie trips on the backdrop, which topples over everyone on stage. Subsequently, this footage was secretly sent in to "Good Morning America" by her younger brother, although it was made more popular internationally by CNN. Good Morning America ( GMA) is a morning news show that is broadcast on the ABC television network debuting on November Cable News Network, usually referred to by its Initialism CNN, is a major English language Television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner
When Lizzie 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. Alexandrea "Alex" Borstein (ˈbɔrstiːn born February 15, 1973) is an American Actress, voice actress, Writer 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. Adam Matthew Lamberg (born September 14, 1984) is an American actor perhaps best known for playing David "Gordo" Gordon in the In a nod to the contemporary "The Lord of the Rings", the principal calls her students Halflings (i. The Lord of the Rings is an epic Halfling is another name for J R R Tolkien 's Hobbit and is a fictional race sometimes found in Fantasy Novels and Games e. hobbits) during the trip, emphasizing the power imbalance she's able to maintain.
In Hotel Cambini, in Rome, Kate is assigned as Lizzie's roommate. 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. "
After Miss Ungermeyer takes them to the famous Trevi Fountain, she calls anyone who makes a wish there a sucker. The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi is the largest — standing 25 Lizzie throws a coin over her head into the toilet. Her wish is to sail smoothly through school (as revealed by her animated alter-ego), but is seemingly answered immediately with a handsome Italian 17-year-old, named Paolo, who greets her. He turns out to be a famous European pop star named Paolo (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). Yani Gellman (born September 2, 1985) is a Canadian / American film and television actor 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.
Gordo suggests that they "seek 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, Lizzie and Paolo dash off 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.
Lizzie continues to pretend to be sick the next day, and drives off with Paolo (this time not tracked by his bodyguard) to an expensive dress shop. 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). Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest Lizzie then gets a makeover, orchestrated by the owner of the dress shop with a scary little dog. Kate finds out the truth but helps Lizzie instead of betraying her.
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. The Colosseum or Roman Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre ( Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio 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. Initally she starts singing with Izabella but after a minute Izabella 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 "we're really proud of you. " 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 tosses the video into a fountain, much to Matt's dismay. Blackmail is the crime of threatening to reveal substantially true information about a person to the public a family member or associates unless a demand made upon the As a former commander of the Italian Navy he also orders Matt to leave the country. 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 foward to high school with him while his expression shows the feelings not mutual. Lizzie and Gordo sneak away from the after party and go up to the roof to talk. Gordo reassures Lizzie that things will be just as good when they go back home and that he always believed in her. Lizzie and Gordo then awkwardly kiss. 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 the fireworks and Animated Lizzie as Tinker Bell.
