Synopsis
Ava (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie (Hilary Duff) Marchetta are rich, spoiled sisters. Their late father founded a cosmetics empire, allowing them to live a dream life complete with a Los Angeles mansion, hot car, endless new clothes, and their every desire fulfilled. Ava, the shallow older sister, is newly engaged to a B-list television star, and Tanzie is busy completing college applications so she can follow in her father’s footsteps creating healthy new skin products. Since their father’s death, his best friend, Tom Katzenback (Brent Spiner), has run the company, while the girls have remained the face of Marchetta Cosmetics, paying little attention to the details, and just popping into the office occasionally to say hello or make a decision about a charitable contribution. Understandably, the sisters are shocked when Tom tells them that the company is failing and that they should consider an offer from their father’s arch enemy, Fabielle (Anjelica Houston). Things really hit rock bottom when a scandal further rocks the company, the girls find themselves destitute, and their father's reputation is run through the mud. Abandoned by their fabulous friends and left with no corporate credit cards and no place to go, these "It girls" have two choices: get jobs or find a way to clear their father’s good name and save Marchetta Cosmetics. They choose the latter, and along the way, learn what life is like without spas, housekeepers, personal chefs, and bottomless credit cards. They even learn how to use public transportation. Most important, they discover that they can take care of themselves, and that they have skills they were never aware of. They also learn what is truly important to them besides money. Martha Coolidge (VALLEY GIRL, THE PRINCE AND ME) directs this riches-to-rags story, which also stars Maria Conchita Alonso and Lukas Haas.

Customer Reviews

Don't buy it!
Seriously spend your money on something else! This film is such a waste - there is no story line, it's unrealistic (in a dodgy way - how can they lose all their money, and yet let still manage to have perfect hair and nails?) and Haylie Duff's acting is terrible! You are so much better off watching Mean Girls!

easy to watch but not an earth -shatterer
This film is okay if you want to relax and watch something easy to follow.
But don't expect any great surprises,good jokes,or a particularly interesting storyline.I mainly bought it to see the Duff sisters acting together which I suppose is what the marketing people were hoping!

easy-to-watch teen movie
okay, a fair cast - the duff sisters look really good in this film, but it's not going to be one of those movies that stays in your mind for ages after and you cant wait to rush out and buy it. it's a bubbly teen movie which was easy to watch and doesnt require huge amounts of attention to detail - some laughs, generally light-hearted, but would go on the shelf next to sabrina the teenage witch sort of thing.
