If you are a fan of trendy clothes, superficiality, and emptiness, "Material Girls" is the film for you. But, if on the contrary, you have a mind of your own, and couldn't care less for designer labels, and all the... Read more at imdb.com

I was 100% disappointed with this movie. I am usually a fan of the cheesy girlie movies, and Hilary Duff. Unfortunately the acting in this movie was not there. It seemed more like a movie done between the Duff sisters... Read more at imdb.com

Wow. This movie was bad. Terrible acting, dumb plot, unbelievably boring. I wanted to leave after the first 10 minutes! The Duff sisters are normally bearable (i loved A Cinderella Story and Raise Your Voice), in this, they weren't. I... Read more at imdb.com

Material Girls is more mundane, as a scandal involving Ava and Tanzie's late father's cosmetics company renders them penniless and miserabletheir assets are frozen, and overnight they're turned into social pariahs.
Hilary Duff was TV's sweet Lizzie McGuire, while Haylie recently has had a recurring role as a single mom on the family drama 7th Heaven, so it is not surprising that what Material Girls offers is pretty wholesome entertainment.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Hustons brief but impressive turn, Material Girls did not make it happen for me.
When members of the Board of Directors as well as their long-time manager (Brent Spiner) urge the sisters to sell the company to their main competitor Fabiella (played by the wonderful Anjelica Huston), the two girls refuse and decide to do everything possible to reinstate their fathers good name.
