Material Girls Trailer

Synopsis

For Ava and Tanzie Marchetta, life is a rollercoaster ride of fun parties, cute guys and gorgeous clothes and makeup. Celebutantes who have inherited their father's multi-million-dollar cosmetics industry, Ava and Tanzie only have to show up at the occasional board meeting and let the grownups do the rest. But when an awful scandal takes away their house, their car and all their money, Ava and Tanzie have to learn how to live in the real world… and have the opportunity to discover what they're made of and realize the potential they never knew they had. Hilary and Haylie Duff star in Material Girls, a comedy about love, money and the right exfoliant from the director of Valley Girl, Martha Coolidge.

Material Girls Review

When celebutant heiresses, Ava (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie (Hilary Duff) Marchetta find out that their deceased father's cosmetics company is sinking, the girls' material world disintegrates like the mansion they accidentally ignite. Renounced by the young Hollywood set, the Marchetta sisters seek refuge at the modest walkup apartment (in Jimmy Choos, no less!) of former family maid, Inez (Maria Conchita Alonso). However, the biggest challenge becomes thwarting Fabiella (Angelica Huston), their father's make-up arch rival, and her curiously possible corporate takeover. Thanks to the help of "hottie" chemist Rick (Marcus Coloma) who the girls mistake for a valet, and Henry Baines (Lucas Haas), a "Men's Wearhouse" pro bono attorney, the girls set out to achieve the implausible.

It is hard to say what demographic this movie is geared towards. Although costuming and dialogue are mostly consistent with lifestyle icons like the Hiltons, or Olson twins, the film makes many inappropriate choices for a "Tween" audience. Inez, the Hispanic maid, explains that post 9/11 immigration laws prevent her daughters from emigrating. A "weird" situation is judged on a "Courtney Love" scale, and Tanzie warns Ava that people "pee" on bus seats. Tanzie also lands in jail when she attempts to mirror the Julia Roberts' Erin Brokovitch namesake and dons a bustier to seduce a man for access to a file room. In jail, she fends off advances by cellmates, and then uses sand caught between one of the convicts toes to teach the women about exfoliation. In awe of the girls, a Marchetta intern (Reagan Dale Nies) changes her nose to mirror Tanzie's and her hair to look like Ava's. The message is that to be wealthy and beautiful, you must become someone else.

The riches-to-rags-to riches Duff powder puff concludes with the Marchetta moguls in love and changing the world, one affordable cosmetic at a time, but the only chemistry here is in the make-up lab. Material Girls lacks…material.

Analysis of movie review

This movie critic heavily critises the film as in the article it is evident that they don't believe that the film itself is not as good as it should be. Within the film its got alot of glamour however it has a huge amount of sterotyping in it. The film also is critised for not having great diagioue and teh acting is not believable enough for the audience to realate to the characters even though it appears that Hilary and her older sister Haylie appear to make a good on screen partnership.
