“Material Girls” is a comedy starring real-life sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff. They play two rich sisters who own and run their own cosmetics company. But after they lose their house in a fire, and then lose their company because customers start developing bad skin reactions to their make-up, the girls lose all their money and have to start over.
There are plenty of funny moments in “Material Girls”, including several inside jokes for fans of the Duff sisters and the Lizzie McGuire show, Hilary’s first claim to fame. Also there are good message taught about such things as not smoking and the importance of family.
Angelica Huston adds some star-power to the cast, but this movie is designed as a showcase for H&H and their fans. If you like them, it’s definitely for you. I am a fan so I liked it a lot.
“Material Girls” is rated PG for some mildly crude humor, but it’s o.k. for everybody – moms, daughters and sons (though dads may want to pass on this one).
On The Official Kid Critic Report Card, “Material Girls” gets a C+.
