![]() Tagline: It's a short trip from the penthouse to the poorhouse.
Two wealthy sisters, both heiresses to their family's cosmetics fortune, are given a wake-up call when a scandal and ensuing investigation strip them of their wealth.
For Ava and Tanzie Marchetta, life is a roller coaster 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."
To Ava (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie Marchetta (Hilary Duff), adult responsibilities are making sure their shoes are in season, getting into the right clubs, and, in Ava’s case, being engaged to the right TV star. Ava and Tanzie are the “face” of Marchetta Cosmetics, the mega-company their late father built from the ground up, and as a consequence they’ve never had to develop skills beyond looking good.
