#2Ice on Mars - The Lizzie McGuire Movie(Total Points: 108 Number of Lists: 6 Highest Ranking: #1 LucasM)
A movie based on a TV Show. I think that was based on a book: Stupid Shit My Tween Says. The TV show centered around a vapid teenage girl wreaking ego fueled havoc in an American high school with the help of her animated minion. The movie really turns things on it's head by being centered around a vapid teenage girl wreaking ego fueled havoc in Rome with the help of her animated minion.
She almost got a writing credit because she once said "Hey, wouldn't it be great if you, like, paid for me to go to Italy."
Movie most known for: The oh so satisfying sight of a dweeby guy named Gordo getting blueballed.
Thousands of years of gorgeous Italian architecture and rich culture, all culminating in a Disney jailbait picture.

"I'm gonna' either diddle myself or vomit... maybe both." "Sweet! That is exactly the effect this movie should have!"
"She's stuck in exposition mode!"
"She squeaks a lot... does she have Tupperware in her throat?"
(Promise me...) "...you'll lie for me in court."
"She is wearing pure, uncut Disney style!"
[Filmed in Italy] "I keep looking for the Wolfram and Hart building."
"Who did the foley on this? It sounds like a dubbed Gamera film."
The interplay during the entire 'choking up' sequence during the finale.
closing 'Thank yous' by the riffers: "...and a special fuck you to all the cartoon alteregos out there."

And now, your moment of Zenmichael:
So back when I thought we were going to be doing JUST Voyager, I looked forward to the riff of "Threshold," kind of commonly believed to be one of the worst moments in Trek history ever. My idea was, just go nuts with it, just do it balls-to-the-wall, NC-17, disgustingly overdone gonzo jokes. The perfect person to do this with, I thought, was my best friend, roommate, and Jason's wife, Ari. She and I have the same humor and are just pretty much really like this all the time (check out the end credits' outtakes section to hear us just hanging out). Once I realized it would be FOREVER before we reached that point in Voyager, I started thinking what else might be good to riff in that way. I thought the Hannah Montana Movie might be fun, but it wasn't on video yet. I mentioned this to someone, who said, 'I think they made a Lizzie McGuire movie,' and I was like, 'really?' A little research later, and, bam! It existed! I remember this was incredibly easy to write, EXCEPT for the montages, of which there are MANY. This was probably the most finely honed writing I've ever done on a riff. There was the constant question of, 'is this blue for the sake of blue? Or is this also funny? And do I care?' I also paid a lot of attention to trying to refine the dynamic between Ari and myself (my kind of final idea was: Ari is dumb when it comes to everything ... EXCEPT sex. Then I'm the moron).
I always kind of assumed this would only appeal to a VERY select audience, and am shocked to this day to find that it's always kind of battling it out with Twilight as our top seller. People REALLY seem to enjoy it, which is gratifying, even if it is the least favorite of our feature-length riffs we've done for me personally.
Available on Netflix Instant? No.
