Material Girls Reviews

Lessons about social responsibility are submerged in a bubble bath of innocent glamour; Amy Heckerling's Clueless looks like a mordant social satire by comparison.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 4, 2014

Even Anjelica Huston as a rival cosmetics magnate struggles to inject any venom into the proceedings.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 4, 2014

Welcome to adulthood, Hillary and Haylie Duff. Here are your T-Mobile Sidekicks and Tabloid news stories. Leave your personalities at the door.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 4, 2014

A brain-numbing, fluffy flick for tweens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2011

An insipid mess not worthy of the tweens who flock to such flicks.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jul 6, 2010

Fans of the Duffs finally have a film to look forward to while they're doing their nails and staring off into space.

| Apr 29, 2009

Along the way, self-discovery bangs 'em over the head.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2008

The Duff sisters are pleasant personalities, but the vapid bimbosity of their characters quickly becomes grating.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Forced to endure such casually offensive nonsense, the viewer ends up slumming it far more than the duff protagonists.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 13, 2007

A Duff movie indeed.

| Mar 10, 2007

Under the circumstances, Anjelica Huston and Lukas Haas manage not to embarrass themselves, but only because they're pretending to be in a different movie.

| Mar 7, 2007

The film's sole purpose is to promote, with chilling lack of irony, Hilary Duff's own brand of perfume -- oh, and there's her single as well.

| Mar 3, 2007

Watchable enough and by no means as bad as The Perfect Man, although there's not much here that'll interest the over-12s.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2007

Messy, patronising and tonally confused, this vanity project - timed to co-incide with Hilary Duff's perfume launch - quite frankly stinks.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 27, 2007

"This thing is screwier than Courtney Love!" whimpers Hilary in her usual chihuahua-on-helium whine. Even she, however, manages to shine next to her aggravating older sister, saddled as she is with all the comic timing of a mortally wounded elephant.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 27, 2007

Haylie and sister Hilary Duff just don't have the comedy stylings to sell this half-baked story of heiress sisters battling to save their dad's cosmetics empire from ruin.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 27, 2007

seems more of an ode to Paris and Nicky Hilton than a decent vehicle for these sisters

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2007

Frankly movies like Material Girls sicken me; they're base and soulless and entirely unworthy of the celluloid they were filmed upon.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 10, 2006

A few funny lines spool out intermittently, but it's the inane-ness of Material Girls that grates. While Hollywood sisters Haylie and Hilary Duff tell each other money doesn't bring happiness, their actions speak otherwise

| Sep 8, 2006

The villain (a greedy corporate man of some sort) isn't very fleshed out, but it's hard to believe that he's any worse than the two self-serving, appearance-obsessed protagonists, with whom the film asks young girls everywhere to identify.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Sep 2, 2006
