The Lizzie McGuire Movie Page #3

Synopsis: Teen queen Lizzie McGuire grows up a bit and hits the big screen in this comedy drama, based on the popular Disney Network series. Lizzie McGuire and her best friends Kate, Gordo, and Ethan have just graduated from middle school, and to celebrate, they're taking part in a class trip to Rome, Italy. Eager to celebrate their new maturity as high school students, Lizzie and her pals hope to live it up in one of Europe's most fabled cities, but fate has something more spectacular in store for Lizzie. Lizzie discovers that she bears a striking resemblance to Isabella, an Italian teen-pop idol famous for her duets with heart-throb Paolo -- so much so that when Paolo and Isabella have a falling out, he asks Lizzie to take Isabella's place for an upcoming concert. Lizzie, however, isn't sure she feels comfortable stepping into the spotlight, and is even less sure about the way she feels about Paolo, who makes no secret of his infatuation with her. Things don't get any simpler for Lizzie when h

Uh, doctor, I have a boil...

Sorry.

Uno, due, tre,

- Tre,

- Tre,

Bene,

I-I just - I had them all wish

for you to come.

Hmm...

I don't have much time.

You know my chaperon -

Wait, wait, wait.

I have to show you something.

Sometimes the world

Is a valley

of heartaches and tears

- Come on.

And in the hustle and bustle,

no sunshine appears

But you and I have a love

always there to remind us...

Wow!

You should see Rome

the way Romans do.

So you knew

that I would come.

I hoped you would.

Are you sure you know

how to drive this thing?

This is Rome.

Nobody knows how to drive.

Volare

Oh, oh

Cantare

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Let's fly

way up to the clouds

Away from

the maddening crowds

We can sing in the glow

of a star that I know of

Where lovers enjoy

peace of mind

Let us leave the confusion

and all disillusion behind

Just like birds

of a feather

And the rainbow together

we'll find

Volare

Oh, oh

Cantare

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Whoo!

Volare

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Cantare

Oh, oh, oh, oh

No wonder

my happy heart sings

Your love has given me

wings

No wonder

my happy heart sings

Your love has given me

wings

Wow!

I don't know what catastrophe

is going to happen in Rome,

but with Lizzie there,

something will.

What are you going to do

with that information?

Give it away, like you did

with the graduation video?

Hey! She was really

freaked out by that.

And you have what

to show for it?

The pride of a job well done?

Try buying a PS2 with

the pride of a job well done.

Oh!

Matt, Matt, Matt.

We've been over this

before. Cash up front.

Melina,

are you staying for dinner?

- I'd love to, Mrs. McGuire.

- Great.

We'll need extra energy to work

on our summer reading list.

In that case,

I'll make brownies.

Oh.

I've said it before.

You're weak. Weak!

Don't do anything

without consulting me first.

You rock.

Hey, Paolo,

can I ask you something?

Si, carina,

Um, I know that our lives

are a little different.

Actually, like, several

universes different.

But doesn't Sergei get tired

of following us around?

Actually, Sergei's my bodyguard.

So, you see,

between me and Sergei,

you'll always be safe.

Whoa!

How famous do you have to be

before you need a bodyguard?

Paolo, go! Go!

I-It's Miss Ungermeyer!

It's our bus!

- Go!

- I cannot.

Miss Ungermeyer, didn't we just

pass the Castel Sant'Angelo?

Yep. What about it?

I just noticed

it's not on our itinerary.

That is correct.

Well, s-shouldn't it be?

I-I mean,

it was a papal residence

and it does contain frescoes

from artists influenced

by the school of Raphael.

What are you up to, Gordon?

N-N-Nothing.

I-I just figure that,

while in Rome,

we should be exposed

to as much Renaissance,

Raphaelite work

typified by chiaroscuro

and Hellenic mythical imagery

as humanly possible.

Whew.

Ah, Gordon,

you are on the list,

and the list is not a place

you want to be.

What is this?

Only in Rome, huh?

You know how to move that, or

you want me to do it for you?

What are you looking at?

Want a piece of that,

a piece of the Ungermeyer?

Over there by that statue.

You see it?

Yeah.

That's where

the artist Caravaggio

had his opponent

burned at the stake.

Or was it the pope

who had Caravaggio burned

at the stake?

Either way,

this neighborhood was tough.

Paolo...

Si, carina?

Do you still love her?

Who? Isabella?

Si,

Of course I still love her.

But like a sister.

So, why did you break up?

It's, um, it's complicated.

- What?

Yes, we've been voted "best

pop duo of the year" again.

But I want to do

more serious music.

And when I told this

to lsabella,

she said flat-out "no."

I was forced to tell her,

"This is it.

This will be

our last CD together."

Did she totally freak out?

She totally freak out.

I feel awful about that,

but what about me?

I need to grow as an artist.

Yeah.

So, the other day

when I saw you,

I just - I don't know,

I had this crazy -

I just - I don't know.

W-What?

I had this crazy idea

that maybe you could help me.

Come on. How crazy could it be?

Just tell me.

No, I can't.

It's too - It's too...

- Please.

- Okay.

Isabella and I are supposed to

present an award together

at the International

Music Video Awards.

Cool!

I-I mean, cool for

regular people like me,

but for you,

I guess it's like work.

No, no, no.

It's cool for me, too.

You get all kinds

of free stuff.

But now because lsabella's

so mad at me,

she's refusing to appear.

The record company's threatening

to sue if she doesn't show up.

What about you?

For me is no problem.

I write the music.

I don't know

where it comes from.

It just comes from me.

La la la la

See?

So I can go solo.

But lsabella...

She needs the help to sing.

You mean lsabella lip-synchs?

Please, please!

Promise me you

will speak of this to no one.

Imagine what would happen

to lsabella's career.

Oh, that's so sweet.

You still care about her.

You're definitely

broken up, right?

Si,

So, when I saw you yesterday

and how people thought

you were lsabella,

I got my crazy idea

that maybe you could pretend

to be lsabella

and present the award

with me onstage.

Present an award?

O-Onstage?

In front of an audience?

I-I-I'm really not good

in front of crowds.

I could never do that.

Of course you can do it.

You are magnifico.

I don't know ltalian,

but I know what that means.

I don't know, Paolo.

I...

Don't worry, carina,

I could never ask you to do

this crazy thing.

No. You know what?

You don't have to ask.

If this is gonna help

you and lsabella, then...

...I'll do it.

Grazie!

Prego!

Head check!

Gordo. Gordo.

You, Lizzie McGuire,

are actually presenting an award

at the lMVAs with Paolo?

No. Me lsabella with Paolo.

- What?

- It's a long story.

I'm doing it because

lsabella won't.

You're gonna get up onstage

in front of all these people?

That's the great thing.

It's not gonna be me.

It's Paolo's idea

to help lsabella

because he still loves her.

But not romantically.

Like a sister.

He is so amazing.

And he's 17!

For being so famous

and used to getting everything

that you want,

he's just -

he's just so kind.

For real?

That's a lot

to say about someone

just knowing them a day.

I-I know that.

But I feel like

I've known him my whole life.

Anyway, um...

I just wanted to come by

and thank you.

I had the most magical day

of my life.

It wouldn't have happened

if it weren't for you.

It was that good, huh?

You're such a good friend.

The sting.

What sting?

You want a little mano a mano?

See, this is

one of the reasons

me and you aren't friends.

I never have any idea

what you're talking about.

Some dudes get the approach.

Others, the sting.

That ltalian dude.

He's big-time approach.

I actually feel my brain

turning into goo.

Embrace the sting.

That's what you're vibin'

from Lizzie.

Wait a minute.

Now, you actually think

that I'm jealous of Paolo?

Word.

Oh, no.

No, see, that would mean
