Assigned to review the school play "Greasier" (an original -- more or less -- by teacher Mr. Escobar [Daniel R. Escobar]), Lizzie (Hilary Duff) finds herself on the horns of a dilemma. It seems that Lizzie's best friend Miranda (Lalaine) is playing the leading role -- and to put it mildly, Miranda is gosh-awful. Encouraged by Gordo (Adam Lamberg) to be merciless in her review, friendship or no friendship, kind-hearted Lizzie chooses instead to couch her critique in euphemisms -- and ends up getting in trouble with Miranda all the same. Meanwhile, Matt (Jake Thomas) goes to incredible lengths to purchase a costly walkie-talkie set.
