Movie synopsis

Ava (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie (Hilary Duff) Marchetta are rich, spoiled sisters. Their late father founded a cosmetics empire, allowing them to live a dream life complete with a Los Angeles mansion, hot car, endless new clothes, and their every desire fulfilled. Ava, the shallow older sister, is newly engaged to a B-list television star, and Tanzie is busy completing college applications so she can follow in her father's footsteps creating healthy new skin products. Since their father's death, his best friend, Tom Katzenback (Brent Spiner), has run the company, while the girls have remained the face of Marchetta Cosmetics, paying little attention to the details, and just popping into the office occasionally to say hello or make a decision about a charitable contribution. Understandably, the sisters are shocked when Tom tells them that the company is failing and that they should consider an offer from their father's arch enemy, Fabielle (Anjelica Houston). Things really hit rock bottom when a scandal further rocks the company, the girls find themselves destitute, and their father's reputation is run through the mud.Abandoned by their fabulous friends and left with no corporate credit cards and no place to go, these "It girls" have two choices: get jobs or find a way to clear their father's good name and save Marchetta Cosmetics. They choose the latter, and along the way, learn what life is like without spas, housekeepers, personal chefs, and bottomless credit cards. They even learn how to use public transportation. Most important, they discover that they can take care of themselves, and that they have skills they were never aware of. They also learn what is truly important to them besides money. Martha Coolidge (VALLEY GIRL, THE PRINCE AND ME) directs this riches-to-rags story, which also stars Maria Conchita Alonso and Lukas Haas.

Crude language and rude humor!

Created: 18/04/07
I personally found this movie to be as expected besides the bad language and rude humor. Cheap humor! This movie was purchased for my 4 children who are 2, 4, 6 and 11. As far as the PG rating, after only few minutes I panicked thinking I made a mistake about the rating of the movie. This movie was NOT PG material! I am not a prude and I am fairly liberal about what my children watch but I squirmed in my seat when viewing this movie. There were blatant references to adultery, gang banging, and sex that I did not think appropriate at all. There was also quite a bit of foul language. I don't know about you, but I am quite certain that a movie that has foul language that has and has not been dubbed over, should not have been rated PG - yet should be rated PG 13. Even my 11 year old knew that this was something that was a little off and caught onto the "jail" scene where one of the "inmates" has to be dubbed for stating something TOTALLY inappropriate to which they dub "in my bra".

During the blooper real - the "inmate" is dubbed more than 4 times for stating this. I mean for an 11 year old to notice this...if they wanted to have it rated PG - why didn't they just re-tape this portion and the others in this movie that little ones shouldn't be viewing. OR shoot for PG 13 and leave all of the vulgar language in there. I feel that this has nothing to do with the girls acting, but more on the people behind the movie and the people who rate movies such as this. This language was unexpected, extremely objectionable, and not appropriate in my opinion.

There are also 2 scenes where they show people including Haylie Duff smoking - although they state that it is gross - why not just eliminate all of the smoking? Young impressionable children do not need to see people who they look up to smoking - weather or not they state "that's gross".

I personally would have enjoyed the movie had we watched it without our children first and then decided this was NOT a movie for them. I truly like Hilary and Haylie Duff. I have watched 7th Heaven since day one and haven’t missed one episode, but this is just one movie that I feel should have been better rated!

My warning to all parents of children under 13, is to view the movie before to see if this is something that they should allow their children to view.

Material Girls!!

Created: 06/04/10
Hilary & Hailie Duff star as two sisters who are to inherit a troubled makeup company after their father passes away. Filled with dramatic twist to the story as they have to make decisions about family friends, enemies, and lawyers. There even is a new version of the song Material Girls!! Definitely a must see movie!!

MORE DUFF FLUFF!!!

Created: 05/01/07
I like Hilary Duff but was disappointed in this film. It played like a low budget TV movie. I liked the idea of the movie but the dialogue was simple-minded and shallow. There's nothing really good about this film. Even the fashion was pretty bad. Devil wears Prada was better. Hilary's other movies are much better than this one. I don't know why a good actress like Anjelica Houston is even in this film. I hope Hilary Duff gets better roles that actually use her acting abilities. I wish I didn't buy this on dvd.

Hilary Duff is the best as Lizzy McGuire.

Created: 27/01/07
Another bad movie where you don't know who the bad guy is but you know that there is a bad guy. And when you find out who it is, believe me it is not that surprising.

I don't believe that this was an original storyline by any means. I wonder how many movies the director and the Duff's had to watch to make this story line unoriginal.

Very disappointed. Hilary Duff should have stayed as Lizzy McGuire and a singer, and as for Haylee - I believe that she is a good actress but the two do not belong in a movie together, they might be sisters but they have an different chemistry on screen that does portray differently.

I don't suggest buying this movie at all. I suggest renting it, watching it, and figuring out if you would every want to watch it more than the once.

Hillary Duff

Created: 08/09/10
I have a few movies with Hillary Duff in them and decided to look for another movie she was in. I found Material Girls. It is a great movie about sisters whose father died and left them a Cosmetic Business. Another company wanted to buy them out and someone wanted to ruin the image of the company so it would sell for less money. The sisters banded together to solve the problem and bring back the great image that the company had. A great movie.
