This movie isn't exactly what I would call a "blockbuster". Although it has it's moments, there's just too much bad that takes away from the good. Alex Borstein is a little much for her character. A lady with the name of "Ungermeyer" would be expected to be a little more conservative and a different type of strict. Alex is just all in your face, and it's hard to focus on her dialogue. Hilary Duff is better as Isabella than she is as Lizzie, which is weird considering the title is "The Lizzie McGuire Movie". Hilary just ends up putting too much of the "poor me, i'm in Rome, and I have everything!" act on. She doesn't keep her mentality of the normal teenager like she did in the series. She was disappointing to me in this movie. Yani Gellman in the role of Paulo was totally off base. He tried too hard to be one of those guys who are like "My English, she is not so good", and yet it was perfect. Two good points I have is the soundtrack, which complimented the teeny-bopper atmosphere, and that they didn't have Lalaine in this movie.
