Lizzie McGuire stars Hillary Duff as Elizabeth “Lizze” McGuire, an upbeat and kind young girl who always tries to do the right thing. She sometimes gets preoccupied with trying to be popular or impressing her crushes, but she always comes back in the end to her best friends, the rebellious Miranda (Lalaine Paras) and whiz-kid Gordo (Adam Lamberg). The show often revolves around Lizzie’s off-beat attempts to deal with school and her family, and also features an animated version of herself and her thoughts.
