words, Hilary Duff gave fans one of the most iconic moments in cinematic
history: “Sing to me, Paolo.”
“The
Lizzie McGuire Movie” hit theaters 15 years ago on May 2, 2003, marking
the epic finale of the smash Disney Channel series.
Fans will
remember Lizzie venturing to Rome with her school after her junior-high graduation.
There, she accidentally discovers her Italian pop star doppelganger, Isabella,
and is tricked into taking her place for a performance at the Italian Music
Awards.
