Controversial Opinion: “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” Was Way Better Than The Show

Hear me out: Though TV shows are rarely improved upon by their movie versions (AHEM, Sex and the City), Lizzie got better on the big screen. Here are all the reasons why.

1. The movie takes place in Rome.

2. In "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," there's no Miranda.

3. But there IS Miss Ungermeyer, the trip chaperone.

4. There are multiple amazing song and dance numbers.

5. Including a few with Paolo, the dumb-as-a-rock Italian pop star.

6. There's not a misstep on the soundtrack.

Especially because of it includes this classic Hilary Duff single.

7. The movie seems to have fewer animated Lizzies than the show.

8. There is definitely less Matt in the movie.

9. There is also limited time with Lizzie's parents.

10. The movie was sans Aaron Carter.

11. The fashion in the movie is spectacular.

12. Lizzie's Italian pop star doppelganger Isabella is a total badass, unlike her former, untalented partner Paolo.

13. In "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," it is implied that Ethan and Kate get together.

14. Kate also got nice.

15. Gordo and Ethan find common ground as well.

16. Lizzie stops whining to Gordo about how no one loves her.

17. Lizzie and Gordo FINALLY get together after years of annoying sexual tension.

18. The show never had a scene anywhere close to as good as the finale scene in the movie.
