Material Girls (2006)

Glamour girls Hilary and Haylie Duff (featured in Lizzie McGuire and 7th Heaven, respectively) star as cosmetic heiresses Ava and Tanzie Marchetta, whose lives get turned upside down when their deceased father's company is accused of selling toxic products. Wouldn't you know it, Ava and Tanzie decide to go all Erin Brockovich and investigate. Material Girls should be awful--but it isn't. It's not a great film, it may not even be a good film, but it's more watchable than it has any right to be, thanks to the confident and thoughtful guiding hand of director Martha Coolidge (Rambling Rose, Valley Girl). It's hard to say exactly how a director can keep something like Material Girls from being as insipid as, say, New York Minute. Coolidge injects some hint of awareness of what it actually means to be poor, casts some surprising actors (like Anjelica Huston, Prizzi's Honor; Brent Spiner, Star Trek: The Next Generation; and Lukas Haas, Brick), and somehow makes the Marchetta sisters both vapid and sympathetic--all of which is some impressive cinematic alchemy. The result is the most enjoyable film of Hilary Duff's career. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

Rich or poor always be true to yourself is the message.

Very Good Movie

[...]I'm a big fan of Hilary and Haylie Duff, and they were great in this movie. It's about 2 sisters, Tanzie [Hilary Duff] and Ava [Haylie Duff] and they're the face of Marchetta cosmetics. After inheriting the company from their late father, Victor Marchetta, Life is one big party. But then a scandal is ruining their reputation, and that the Marchetta cosmetics cause skin rashes and a variety of other skin problems. Tanzie and Ava set out to find out if this is the truth or not.
Will they be ruined, or will Marchetta cosmetics go on?
Watch the movie to find out. February 11, 2008

Duffs really are Material Girls

Material Girls really is about the Duff sisters. Yes, they are beautiful, can act, and Hilary Duff can sing. This movie could be funny if there was some originality,but there isn't. Hilary Duff needs to get in touch with her inner "Lizzie McGuire." She is no longer charming and cute. That's really a shame. Lizzie McGuire was lovable. Hilary Duff is not. January 1, 2008
