Nope. I don't understand graduations for other reasons besides high and college graduation. Most people finish preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school. There's no need for other graduations. Apparently we just have to celebrate everything.
When I was a kid, I thought they were graduating from highschool. I rewatched it recently and was surprised to find it was a junior high graduation! These kids went to Rome, and barely had any adult supervision. Plus this guy Lizzie doesn't even know and (who obviously looks like a grown adult) snatched her up and pretty much uses her for his own benefit. 😐

Yes totally agree!! There was more of a wholesomeness and charm to older teen movies and shows back then. Sure they were cheesy and embarrassing, but isn’t that what being a teenager was like? Now it has to sexualize minors and make them do crazy things in order for people to be remotely interesting. You can’t have a normal party scene without them going overboard on drugs and sleeping with everyone. I think around the time social media started coming into play, it definitely played a huge role as to why a lot of younger people both in shows and real life act the way they do now due to the pressure of trying to be trendy for a like and recognition whereas a teen back then like Lizzie only had to worry about maybe winning best dressed at school.

"La la la la ... see so I can go solo" 🤣😂😅 I will never get over that
I think the reason this movie works is that it isn't a guy being like "oh my God you are so beautiful I have to speak to you" it's about a totally terrible person that sees a high schooler and thinks "oh my God I just came up with the perfect plan to get back at my ex" and although it's not great at least it's different. 🤣

This might be very wrong, but I honestly think part of it is that a lot of "teen" shows today aren't really aimed at teens anymore. They fall into one of two categories 1. teens are played by adults and have a lot of storylines centered on sex and relationships and sometimes the supernatural to attract older audiences in addition to teens 2. teens are played by teens, but the show is trying to attract younger audiences (preteen or even younger), so they simplify and sanitize the jokes and writing. Even though the 2000s weren't really realistic examples of teen life, I feel like writers today have no incentive to attempt to depict teen life realistically and honestly just might not understand it themselves because Gen Z's high school culture changes rapidly compared to school in the 2000s or even 2010s. People are either unable or unwilling to make ages 13-18 be both interesting and realistic to an audience of 13-18 year olds.

For example, there was one called Quints, I saw it for the 1st time in my life last year and yes the premise of a 13 year old girl's mom having quintuplets was silly but it was rooted in relatability and enough emotion to make it work.

This came up because I watched the movie last night. After Aaron Carter passed away I wanted to re-watch Lizzie McGuire. I enjoy how they released the episodes out of order so they made no real sense but covered up the fact that Miranda wasn't in the last six of them, including the one where it was revealed Gordo had a huge crush on Lizzie (which was ignored the entire rest of the season and movie). But man... I'm disappointed. Disappointed that the show was canceled (I think?). Disappointed in the way the movie went. As a kid I thought Lizzie and Gordo had A LOT more on screen time together and formed a real bond and relationship not just share one kiss and the movie ended lmao. Disappointed there wasn't even the revival. Adam Lambert deserved better and we deserved to see Lalaine again.
If I had to guess: Modern writers aren't worse at writing teen rom coms, it's that the corporations that produce them figured out they did not need to spend the money for a decent script to get the returrns they wanted out of these movies. I'm sure there are plenty of writers out there that could turn out a decent teen movie, but you would need to pay a premium for the higher production. Why do that, when you can spend less on writing, editing and casting and still get a similar profit? Its unfortunate, but it seems as though as the movie business gets better at the financial aspect of movie making, movie quality suffers.

Yeah that's the problem in all of Hollywood. They don't care about good writing because they can have good special effects for cheap. They expect to distract us from the terrible writing because of pretty lights and effects. Look at all of the superhero movies put out recently. Wooden dialogue, trite and predictable plot, but cool looking special effects. And as long as people keep throwing money at them they will ONLY get worse. It doesn't even matter anymore if literally everyone in the west didn't watch a single movie Hollywood put out. They more than make up for it from Asia. Those movies make billions mostly from China. Until people get tired of crappy writing hiding behind cool editing it will only get worse.

i've seen a few video essays about "why today's cartoon sucks" that very basically theorize that the shift in how kids consume and share media drove a shift from storyline focused content to gif-able content. so it doesnt matter is an entire episode wasn't very good/appealing, as long as it had a couple of scenes or lines that resonated enough to be captured and shared online, the episode is considered good and successful. so maybe that shift in media is also affecting YA movies? or ya know maybe we're just too old to relate to the new culture the younguns today are making lol

I think the trend with Disney movies is they’re becoming more and more attractive to kids and more and more detached from reality. One of the visual signs is how much more ‘cartoony’ the cartoons are. The eyes have flipped in size to look more aggressively childlike.

This was my childhood!!! Although, looking back, I kind of forgot that Lizzie is basically 13-14 in the movie. Honestly, you’d think based on all the stuff that happens she’s graduating high school. Hell Gordo even mentions how the principal can get students onto an Ivy League! Also by this movies logic, unless Paolo is also 13-14 then him “courting” Lizzie to get her to replace Isabella isn’t just manipulative but also grooming 🫣

4:24 FACTS!
Fun Fact: In Rome the most popular cheese according to a Google Search is Pecorino Romano. That particular cheese wheel looks nothing like what is in this movie so I decided to .25 the playback speed starting at 07:25 with the sound off because demons. To my knowledge all cheese wheels have indented into them the type of cheese, age, environment, location, or some combination thereof. Apparently it's a pretty big industry. Putting aside the happy cheese wheel Italian lady's possible golden tooth, I eventually reach 07:37 and *ENHANCE* "Parmigiano" is slapped on that wheel. Pop over to Google and...yeah, looks pretty close. Some issues, but let's take it at face value. In short: The wheel that joyful Golden Toothed Italian Woman gave to Lizzie is likely a Parmigiano-Reggiano. Aka -> Parmesan. IT WEIGHTS 82 LBS, OR JUST OVER 37kg. If you want your own and don't live in or near Italy, you can purchase one on Amazon for the low-low price of around 1,200 US dollars. Anyway, back to the show! Edit: I forgot to move the playback speed back to x1.00 and now there's a dark shadow on my ceiling...

"Back when I was in school I always thought it was weird how there was all these unwritten rules that girls had for each other for like no reason" Well to be fair, its exactly shows like these that cultivates these ideas in us. In 6th grade you don't come up with that shit on your own. But you see characters you adore wear a new, glamorous outfit everyday, or get embarrassed wearing the same one twice... it does something to you as an impressionable young girl:/ it was never written about boys' characters in children's TV, adults only found in necessary to write about girls. You grow up thinking "this is what girls are like, this is how I am supposed to be".
