From the moment I first saw this show, I never completely understood Hilary Duff's character, Lizzie McGuire. The show overall is good, I would say, as the almost 14-year-old that I am, but somehow it is only Duff's character that I feel has no depth. The show is funny(to me anyway), and the rest of the cast is excellent; Lizzie's family, Gordo(although the fact that he is 19 still confuses me), Miranda, Kate and Tudgeman and Lannie. The actors who play them are really convincing, and are pretty funny while at it too. They literally saved the show.
The show admittably stereotypes and pigeonholes the characters, but most of them except for Lizzie at least have some depth. Another factor going in their favour is that they know how to act. More often than not, I find myself enjoying the subplot than the beef of the story.
In short, quite humorous if you need a quick laugh and don't mind slapstick. Just don't expect too much from the title character.
