I happened to stumble across this film one day on Netflix (I think.... maybe it was HBOGO) while I was home terribly sick one day. Normally I really don't have any interest in films of this sort... "Chick Flicks" or whatever you might want to call it... I am more of a documentary type of person and when I do watch "movies" that aren't documentaries, they are usually either crime type movies that are based on a true story or psychological thrillers or something more in that vein. Now, when my 17 year old daughter was very little, she LOVED Hilary Duff and I thought that Hilary had a very nice singing voice and was MUCH more of a positive role model than many of the other "tween pop" artists out there and I had also seen her on the Lizzy Maguire series and thought she was just adorable. So, while this movie is not some sort of "cinematic tour de force" it is definitely fun, lighthearted, and something very easy to watch when you are not feeling well. I quite enjoyed it and have watched it several times since. Definitely recommend to young women and also found it to be appropriate to show to "preteen" girls who I think might enjoy it for a sleepover or something.... in the same kind of category as "13 Going on 30" which is another of my "guilty pleasures"!

I tried to watch this movie because of Hilary Duff! I think she's incredibly charming, and underrated. I'll give anything of hers a shot. I like Hayley as well. I really should have left this one alone! Not only is this movie awful, but it's beneath Hilary. It has basic slapstick that offers no laughs. Not to mention the talk about mascara and makeup gets old very quickly. It's innocuous, but it has a very shallow plot with every character virtually unlikable. It's really sad to see Anjelica Huston languish in this crud. I didn't watch the entire movie! I could only stand 40 minutes of it. Even Hilary's charm can't save itDUD

I really like Hilary Duff but this movie didn't really have any substance. The characters were not very 3-dimensional and not very believable as heiresses. Perhaps it was a combination of the wardrobe and the poor acting. The sisters have very similar voices so if you look away from the screen whilst you are watching then it's very difficult to differentiate between them. This was the first film I've seen Hayley Duff in and I wasn't impressed. However, I did watch the film all the way to the end. It was predictable but easy watching so if you wanted a film to just switch off to then this does the job. Perhaps the film would appeal more to younger girls.

I personally liked this film because it describes the feelings of girls who aren't very "normal". Teenagers nowadays think more in trends than in other things. This girls find themselves with nothing. The film basically shows what problems they have facing real life conditions which are everyday life for people who every day go out to work. I also think the actresses play well their parts as i presume it's difficult to exaggerate the life of two teenagers who live like queens in their perfect world. In the end I think the film shows that you need a bit of effort to go through life and you can't expect people to do things for you. This film shows kids that you have to believe in what you want to make your dreams come true. The filming was also good because it shows the contrast of the rich part of a city and the streets where people with less economical resources live. I would recommend this film to people who like comedy, romance and a good story to watch.
