When LIzzie and Gordo are walking onto the balcony they are holding hands, but quickly stop once they open the door.
When Lizzie and Paolo are walking in the marketplace and Paolo is talking about the artist who was burned at the stake, you can see an overhead microphone.
Nitpick: In the movie Gordo says that Lizzie's graduation robe is cool. However, in the book he says it looks hot.
I guess it isn't a big goof but when the Lizzie McGuire Movie trailer would play on Disney Channel or any other channel they would show a deleted scene everytime. It is the scene where Lizzie is sitting in the plane looking out the window. I believe she was wearing a purple shirt. It is shown as a deleted scene on The Lizzie McGuire Movie DVD.
When Paolo is telling Lizzie that they have to present the award he looses his accent twice.
During the part after Paolo leaves the stage and it is just Lizzie and Isabella. When Isabella askes the audience if they want to hear Lizzie sing, when they go over to Gordo telling Sandro to turn up Lizzie's mic you can see that Paolo's mic is know back to where it was when he went on to the stage at the start when he and Lizzie first started.
When Lizzie walks into the auditorium for graudation, she's wearing sneakers. But when she comes to the podium to deliver the speech in place of Margaret Chan, her shoes make the sound of high heels. And plus, why would she be wearing sneakers with a fancy dress?
In the scene where the Mcguires are trying to tell Georgio that they are the parents of Lizzie McGuire, you can see the sound microphone at the top left of the scene, right above Robert Carradine's head.
When Lizzie is walking into the airport, her pants are unrolled. Then, when she leaves her parents for the first time, her pants are cuffed. After hugging them and leaving to board the plane, her pants are unrolled again. On the plane, they appear to be cuffed.
When Lizzie and Kate ask Georgio if Gordo's plane has left yet, they refer to him as, "Gordo" and not, "David Gordon", yet Georgio still knows who they're talking about.
Continuity Goof: When Lizzie first starts singing on stage (with Paolo), the space on her stomach is small to where we barely see skin. When she starts to sing with Isabella, the space is bigger where we see half of her belly button, then it goes to being a triangle where we see her whole belly button. Then, it's a rectangle, then it's back to how it was when we first started to see her sing, then it briefly disappears, and finally it's a square that shows her whole belly button.
When the gang arrives at Rome and are in the bus looking at the sights, you can see that it is already dark. But when Gordo drags Lizzie to the balcony, the sun is still up.
When everyone is at the airport getting ready to leave for Rome, Kate walks in the waiting area and says "How many Lizzie's does it take to screw in a light bulb?". Theres an Air Canada plane taxi-ing along in the background outside. The camera then goes to Gordo and Lizzie who look at each other for a very brief moment, and then its back to Kate. Kate finishes her little joke "I don't know, but it only takes one to screw up a graduation". In the background outside, there is no plane, like Air Canada plane just suddenly disappered. At the speed the plane was travelling, there is no way that it could have possibly moved so fast in that brief clip of Lizzie and Gordo.
Nitpick---When Lizzie is being taken to her dressing room, Isabella yells to "Change! Chage your clothes and everything will be fine." When she says "Change your clothes" Hilary loses the accent just for a second but it's long enough even though she quickly recovers the Italian accent.
When Paolo comes to pick up Lizzie in his little car, Lizzie's hair is straight. But when she is sneaking past Georgio, her hair is all frizzed up. Wouldn't that take at least half an hour to do?
During the graduation ceremony, the emcee introduces the class president using the real whole name. But when Lizzie was called, the emcee says Lizzie Mcguire, not Elizabeth Brooke Mcguire or Elizabeth Mcguire.
The second day Lizzie is shown on the vespa with Paolo (when "Why Not" is playing) you can just barely see that she is wearing a light pink top. However, a few seconds later, she is wearing a jean jacket; a completely different outfit from before. (The light pink, fluttery top was shown in the Movie Surfers commerical where Lindsay met "Paolo.") It's likely the editors completely cut out the scenes where Lizzie was wearing the pink top. It has been reported that in the DVD this goof does not appear.
When Lizzie talks to Paolo outside of the gellato shop, Lizzie's bottom hair clip is even with her eyebrows. However, in the next quick shot of her, the clip is in the middle of her forehead and in correct position.
At graduation the tassels are shown to be hanging over the left side of the cap, traditionally however tassels are to be worn on the right side until you are announced as graduated then it is symbolically moved to the left.
Goof or not a Goof: In the scene when Lizzie and Paolo are signing autographs some of Lizzie's hair is in braids but when she is sneaking into the hotel her hair is perfectly strait, yet when she gets into bed it's in braids again.
Nitpick: Paolo and Lizzie are rehearsing a soft ballad of "What Dreams are Made Of". When they perform at the awards, it's the same, but when Paolo leaves and Lizzie and Isabella take over, it becomes a dance song. Sure, it would sound awkward, two girls singing a love song (almost as if to each other) but where did this dance track come from, and how did they know it would almost fit the lyrics and what to change where it didn't fit? Although, some viewers disagree with this point.
When Toon Lizzie is thanking everybody Larry's name appears on the list even though he is never mentioned or seen in the movie. Another name that is missing from the list is that of Miranda.
Kate accuses Lizzie of wearing the same dress at graduation that she did at the spring dance. But in "You're a Good Man, Lizzie McGuire," Lizzie didn't go to the Spring Fling dance. (Unless there was more than one "spring dance." That doesn't seem likely, but as many viewers have noticed, they have an awful lot of dances at Hillridge!) Also, when Lizzie is trying on the clothes with Paolo, she says that the material looks exactly the same as what she wore to the spring dance. But, as it has been pointed out, she didnt go to the dance.
A nitpick: While showing Lizzie around Rome, Paolo points out a place where the famous Italian painter Caravaggio (1573-1610) was burned at the stake, he thinks. Actually, Caravaggio died in July 1610 in Port Ercole, likely of pneumonia, while on his way to obtain a pardon from the pope.
The list of people Toon Lizzie holds up that she wants to thank has "Mom" listed twice.
Lack of continuity: Lizzie doesn't seem to remember from the episode "Clue-less" that Gordo likes her as more than a friend when Kate tells her that Gordo allowed himself to be sent home to protect her. Gordo also doesn't seem to remember that he likes Lizzie from the episodes "Dear Lizzie" and "Bye, Bye Hillridge Junior High" when Ethan points this out to him.
Miss Ungermeyer states that the Trevi Fountain was designed by the architects Pietro da Cortona and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. While the early plans for Rome's most famous fountain, may have been started by them, the work was halted by the death of Pope Urban VIII in 1623. It wasn't until around a hundred years later that Pope Clement XII chose the design of Nicola Silva and entrusted its completion to him from 1732 to 1751.
Miss Ungermeyer appears to be the only adult in charge of the large group of students visiting a foreign country, a situation that seems highly unlikely.
In the scene where Miss Ungermeyer is going down the hotel's hallway checking in the rooms, she opens the door to room 102, where she speaks to Ethan. When she closes the door, its number is 103.
Giorgio the hotel clerk seems to barely be able to speak or even understand English in the scenes where Miss Ungermeyer and the McGuires talk to him, yet he seems to speak it much better when Paolo and Matt are talking to him.
In order to save Lizzie from being caught, Gordo tells Miss Ungermeyer that Lizzie's fake illness was all a part of a ruse to cover up his sneaking out of the hotel every night. But how could Lizzie's being ill during the day (when Gordo was on the tour bus with Ungermeyer) help Gordo cover up sneaking out at night?
Not a Goof? When the McGuires arrive at the hotel, Miss Ungermeyer takes them to her room, which contains a full-length mirror. In the mirror can be seen three moving shadows, presumably crew members. However, at least one viewer beleives if the three shadows are studied carefully, you will realize that they all have the same body shapes and sizes as do the first three characters that walked in (and in the same order too). In addition, the third shawdow is seen carrying a small video camera, just as did Matt when he walked in.
A traveller to Rome tells us that the Colosseum could not handle the kind of stage show seen in the movie; specifically, the audience would be behind too many columns and standing in thick undergrowth.
The size of Lizzie's graduating class is three to four times bigger than the group seen in the class picture which was taken in "Bye, Bye Hillridge Junior High."
Kate (snobbily): You don't mind if I take this bed, do you? Toon Lizzie: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! Lizzie: No.
The McGuires: (at the Hotel) ... No! we are the parents of Lizzie! Gergio: Ah. Si, Via Louiski... I'll get you a cab, it's very far Jo: I give up!
Melina: I've said it before; you are weak! WEAK!! Don't do ANYTHING without consulting me first! Matt: You rock.
Jo: C'mon honey, it wasn't that bad. Lizzie: Was YOUR junior high graduation on Good Morning America? Sam: What kinda creep would send Diane Sawyer a video to embarrass you like that?(Matt fondles his camera)
Matt (About Miss Ungermeyer): What is that? Gordo: That is Miss Ungermeyer. Get on her good side, and it's your one-way ticket to an Ivy League School. But if you get on her bad side... Janitor: Excuse me, gotta clean up some vomit. Matt: You end up like that guy? Gordo: You end up working for that guy.
Paolo: (about Miss Ungermyer) She makes me very scared. Gordo: Join the club.
Miss Ungermyer: I wanna see that junk in the trunk and that seat lookin' neat.
Lizzie: Gordo? Gordo: What? (Lizzie kisses Gordo) Gordo: Thanks... Lizzie: You're welcome. Gordo: Yeah. So, um, want to get back to that party before we get into any more trouble?
Ethan: The sting. Gordo: What sting? Ethan: You want a little mano a mano? Gordo: See, this is one of the reasons that me and you aren't friends. 'Cause I-I never have any idea what you're talking about. Ethan: Ya, see. Some dudes get the approach. Others, the sting. That italian dude? He's big-time aproach. Gordo: I actually feel my brain turning into goo. Ethan: Embrace the sting. That's what you're vibin' here from Lizzie. Gordo: Wait a minute. Now, you actually think that I'm jealous of Paolo. Ethan: Word. Gordo: (chuckling) Oh, no. No, see, that would mean that I like Lizzie as more than a friend. Ethan: See? What do you mean you and I have trouble communicating, bro? Gordo: You're wrong, man!
Lizzie: (Referring to Paolo and Isabella's CD) Here. Listen. Isabella: (Singing) You don't have to sail the ocean. Gordo: Yeah. Not bad. (Sniff) You use scented soap, huh? Lizzie: (Giggles) What? Gordo: Um...it...N-never...never mind.
Matt: (online) That girl looks freakishly like my sister! Melina: (thwoks Matt on the head) Zoom! ZOOM! Matt: (sees the necklace) ANOTHER freakish coincidence!
Lizzie: (at graduation) Hey, Gordo! So, do I look okay? Gordo: Lizzie, I'm your guy bestfriend, you should really talk to Miranda about this stuff. Lizzie: But she's in Mexico City! Gordo: Yes, your blue robe looks way cooler than all the other girls'.
Gordo: I really think we should get going. So much Roma, so little time-a!
Kate: You are SO busted. You've been out of this hotel room. Lizzie: What? How do you know? Kate: Please. Your eyebrows finally match, your hair has highlights, (opens covers and points) fresh manicure. I smelled acetone the second I walked in the lobby!
Matt: I don't know what catastrophe's gonna happen in Rome, but with Lizzie there, something will.
Matt: Some say juvenile, I say GENIUS!
Ethan: (after Gordo confesses) Love lifts us up where we belong...
Kate: How many Lizzies does it take to screw in a lightbulb? I don't know. But it only takes one to screw up a graduation.
Ethan: (pulling Lizzie and Gordo into a 'hug') We're goin' to the land where they invented spaghetti!
(at the Gelato Shop) Miss Ungermyer: Didn't you hear me say, "headcheck"? 15! 16! (then points at Paolo) Who are you? Paolo: (extending his hand) Paolo Valisari. Miss Ungermyer: Put your money in your front pocket.
Gordo: I'm starting to agree with Ethan. I think we should eat more spaghetti. Ethan: YOU DA MAN!
Toon Lizzie: Oh no! He's (Dad) going to quote some dead guy!
Matt: "I shall win the Academy awards!"
Miss Ungermeyer: "What's your name?" Gordo: "David Gordon." Miss Ungermeyer: "David Gordon?" Gordo: "Mm-hmm." Miss Ungermeyer: "Well, I think that's Italian for a sneaky brown-noser with a hidden agenda, huh?"
Kate (to Lizzie): "...how did you get my trip?"
Kate: "Oh my God, there's incredible shopping going on and it doesn't involve me!"
Lizzie: "Are you sure you know how to drive this thing?" Paolo: "This is Rome. Nobody knows how to drive!"
Ethan: "Why does everybody always look at me like that?"
Toon Lizzie: "You know things are bad when Kate starts making sense."
Miss Ungermeyer: "You're on the list, Mr. Gordon. The list is not a place you want to be."
Lizzie: "You know, these guys [Paolo & Isabella] aren't bad. I mean, if you're into Alanis Morissettey dark, like, brooding I-never-go-out-in-the-sunlight-my-life-is-a-black-hole-of-depression kind of stuff, then you'd think they suck, but for the driving-around-in-the-car-putting-on-the-lip-gloss-with-the-top-down-loving-life kind of a thing, they're good."
Miss Ungermeyer: "Attention, parents! SHUT YOUR PIEHOLES!"
Kate: "Oh..my...God! Only you would think that you could hide the powder blue, puffy-sleeved, it's-kind-of-a-peasant-dress-but-it-might-be-just-a-baggy-disaster-of-questionable-fiber-content that you wore to the spring dance! (unzips Lizzie's gown) LIZZIE McGUIRE, YOU ARE AN OUTFIT REPEATER!" Toon Lizzie: "Maybe I'm an outfit repeater, but you're an outfit rememberer, which is just as pathetic."
Miss Ungermeyer: "Have you even made a dent in your reading list?" Ethan: "I finished it." Miss Ungermeyer: "You mean you read eleven books?" Ethan: "I meant I read the list."
Lizzie (at Trevi Fountain): "Make a wish." Gordo: "I'm in Rome with my best friend. I'm good."
Kate: "I cannot believe that not one Roman guy has asked me out yet!"
Melina (to Matt): "Why do we even pretend you're in charge?"
Gordo (sizing up Kate): "Evil and smart." Kate: "Embrace it. Fear it."
Sam McGuire: "All right, tell me what you know I don't." Matt: "It's only a 14-hour flight, Dad."
Lizzie: "Paolo, are we supposed to sing?" Paolo: "Scusa?" Toon Lizzie: "Don't speak to me in Italian...it's too adorable."
Miss Ungermyer: "Craft, Sanders, separate!" Kate: "Oh, we did, Miss Ungermeyer, and thank God!"
Jo McGuire: "Honey, just yesterday you were in diapers--now you've graduated junior high, and you're growing up, going to Rome for two weeks all by yourself. Without me. Without me there. Without me with you. You there. Without me." Lizzie: "That's just about all the combinations of those words you can make, Mom."
The DVD features an extended ending that shows everyone on the plain home, and sleeping.
Hilary Duff's best friend Taylor plays Kate's friend during the graduation scene and can be seen in the "Diary of Hilary Duff" on MTV.
It is finally revealed that Kate and Ethan did date at some point in the show when Kate tells Miss Ungermyer that they separated. While it was always aluded in the show that something was between the two nothing was ever solid, this can be seen in "Lizzie's Eleven" where Kate and Ethan were at the school event together and possibly "Clue-less" where Kate basically tells Lizzie that she should take Gordo and she would take Ethan.
In the film Kate says "Oh my G-d" on a number of occasions. In the TV show they would always go around this word by saying "Oh my gosh!" Disney's programming standards are different for their movies and allow for "Oh my G-d"
Mr. Escobar does not use the blue scarf Gordo told Lizzie Mr. Escobar always wear.
When Gordo is about to board his flight home after covering for Lizzie, you can hear over the speaker that the flight he is boarding is to Los Angeles. This tells us that the characters probably live near L.A.
Troy Rowland, who plays Mr. Lang on the TV series, makes a cameo appearance here as the driver of the tram Miss Ungermeyer arrives in at the airport. Rowland also served as dialog coach for the series and this movie.
Jo states that the heart necklace Lizzie has worn throughout much of the series was given to Lizzie by her.
Mr. Escobar states that Lizzie was the secretary/treasurer for her class.
Some minor differences from the TV series: The set for the McGuire's house is clearly different, notice the doorway leading into the kitchen, and Jo is wearing a different style of glasses.
Music includes: *"The Tide is High (Get That Feeling)" by the British female trio Atomic Kitten, from their 2003 CD Atomic Kitten. It's heard during the opening sequence. Many of us know it (without the parenthetical addition to the title) as a huge hit for Deborah Harry and the group Blondie. It was on their fifth album, Autoamerican, and shot to the top of the charts in January 1981, making it the group's third number 1. The song was first a hit in the 1960s for a Jamaican pop group known as the Paragons, the most popular "rock-steady" act in Jamaica and Great Britain. *"On an Evening in Roma" by Dean Martin (1917-1995), heard on the group's arrival in Rome. Martin was a smooth Italian-American crooner whose career started in the 1940's. He grew to icon status as one of Gordo's beloved "Rat Pack" in the 1950's and '60's with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and others. He also enjoyed great success as an actor/comedian and partnered in many films with Jerry Lewis. *"Volare" by the young American singer Vitamin C (Colleen Fitzpatrick), heard during Lizzie's first ride on the Vespa with Paolo. It was originally a worldwide hit for Italian singer Domenico Modugno in 1958. Its real title is "Nel Blu Dipinti Blu," but English-speaking listeners have always referred to it by its opening lyric, "Volare." Vitamin C's version is considerably modernized. (The soundtrack CD erroneously says that this song is not featured in the movie.) *"Why Not," heard in two versions. The most familiar one by Hilary Duff is heard on Lizzie's second Vespa ride and following scene with Paolo. A dance remix of the song sung by Hilary is played during the first portion of the closing credits. At the time of the movie's release, the single record by Hilary Duff was beginning to get some wider airplay after weeks of relentless promotion by Disney. *"Supermodel" by Taylor Dayne, a dance/pop singer most popular in the late 1980's-early '90's with hits like "Tell It to My Heart." This song, originally a hit for cross-dressing model/singer/actor (actress?) RuPaul in 1994, is heard when Lizzie, as Isabella, is getting her fashion makeover. *"Shining Star" by Jump5, the teen pop singing group whose songs "Spinnin' Around" and "All the Time in the World" were used on the Lizzie TV show. This song was originally a #1 hit (May 1975) for Earth, Wind & Fire, a very popular funk/soul/R&B group. It's played when Lizzie (as Isabella) and Paolo arrive at the International Music Video Awards. *"Open Your Eyes (To Love)" by LMNT (pronounced "element"), a fairly new arrival on the rock scene. This romantic ballad is heard when Lizzie and Paolo are watching fireworks at night and it returns during the latter portion of the closing credits. *"What Dreams Are Made Of" Hilary Duff's song is heard first when Lizzie and Paolo rehearse a ballad version alone together. That's followed by an uptempo instrumental version to which they rehearse their dance steps. The ballad returns during the Colloseum concert with Lizzie, Isabella and Paolo, followed by an uptempo dance remix. The remix is also heard during the opening portion of the closing credits. *"Girl in the Band" by Haylie Duff. Although the soundtrack CD says it's not in the movie, a few seconds of this song by Hilary's older sister can be heard playing over Ethan's headphones in the scene where he's confronted by Miss Ungermeyer and the McGuires over Lizzie's wherabouts. *"All Around the World" by Cooler Kids. This has been a recent hit on the dance charts to this Brooklyn duo who are produced by Jill Cunniff of Luscious Jackson. It's played at the Video Awards show. *"You Make Me Feel Like a Star" by the Beau Sisters, who are a singing group consisting of four real-life sisters from Florida via New York City. The song is heard in a scene where Lizzie (as Isabella) and Paolo are in a plaza in Rome surrounded by fans. *In addition, there's original music by composer Cliff Eidelman (arranged in the "Orchestral Suite" on the soundtrack CD). A couple of other odds and ends: The junior high band plays a ragged version of Sir Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance march (Number 1), a tune traditionally played at graduations and other momentous ceremonies; and during the reception after the awards show the Italian song "Funiculi Funicula" can be heard being played in the background on an accordian. Elliot Lurie, music supervisor on the TV show, serves the same role here. *Music not heard in the film: Despite their being used in many promos, "I Can't Wait" by Hilary Duff and "Roam" by the B-52's are not to be found in the movie. Neither is that bright, sprightly classical music theme which is the opening of Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4, also known as his "Italian" symphony.
Characters mentioned but not seen: Margaret Chan, class president, and Danny Kessler.
Continuity: Lizzie states that the reason Miranda isn't going on the class trip is because she is still in Mexico City. This ties in with why Miranda wasn't in "Bye, Bye Hillridge Junior High" which was that she was on vacation with her family in Mexico. Sam is seen once again painting one of his gnomes. In the opening scene, Lizzie is singing into her hair brush, which is something she mentioned doing in the episode "Over the Hill."
The official site of The Lizzie McGuire Movie is here
The trailer for The Lizzie McGuire Movie can be found at this website! (Click Here)
The trailer for The Lizzie McGuire Movie made its "official" debut during the broadcast of the TV-movie You Wish on Thursday, February 13, 2003. However, Yahoo! Movies had it on their website the day before for a while.
The title Ciao Lizzie was announced in September 2002 after the go-ahead for a Lizzie McGuire theatrical release movie was given in August. But in late November, Movies at Yahoo.com said that "apparently" the title went back to The Lizzie McGuire Movie. But then in late December, the movie was referred to on Hilary Duff's website as "Lizzie in Rome." Filming began on October 14, 2002 in Rome, then moved to Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The movie wrapped on December 11, 2002. In her question-and-answer section at her official fansite, Hilary Duff confirmed that Lalaine would not be in the film. Neither would Kyle J. Downes (Larry Tudgeman) or Christian Copelin (Lanny).
Ethan: Love lifts us up where we belong.
This is a line from the song "Up Where We Belong" from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman (1982). The lyrics were written by Will Jennings, the music by Jack Nitzsche and Buffy Sainte-Marie, but it was performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Jennings, Nitzsche and Sainte-Marie won Oscars in 1983 for Best Music and Best Lyrics. They also won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song - Motion Picture that same year. The following year the trio won an award for Best Original Song from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).
Toon Lizzie: Prince William? Tell him he'll have to wait.
The Prince William referred to is William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor. Who is the first born son of Charles and Diana, the Prince and late Princess of Wales on June 21, 1982 and one of the world's most eligible bachelors.
