(read more) Ava and Tanzie Marchetta have it all. The heiresses to a multi-million dollar cosmetics company, the girls approach life as one big party. But when a scandal involving one of their products emerges, the girls are left penniless, homeless, and seemingly helpless. They could, of course, take the easy way out and listen to the board of directors who want to sell the company to their biggest competitor, but that would forever taint the name of their late father, who built it from the ground up. Instead, Ava and Tanzie decide to protect what is rightfully theirs. What it's going to take to do that will require them to do some things they've never really considered--growing up, taking initiative and responsibility, and asking for help from others, rather than expecting it to fall into their laps. If they can find their inner strength, they might be able to clear their father's name. If not, the party might be over--for good.

The two rich girls experiencing poor life is ridiculous, as they act like aliens, being unable to communicate or function in the outside world. These acts of "humour" just get more and more ridiculous to the point of sighs and groans. There's also a lot of misjudged editing techniques, such as, some of the most pointless split-screen action around. It's bubbly, cute and probably fun for it's target audience, but it has a very short shelf life.
The only part I liked was when Joel and Benji Madden steal their car.
Les films mettant en vedette Hilary Duff c'est parfait quand on n'a pas envie de se prendre la tête avec un film. Léger et cliché à souhait. Je dois avouer que j'ai ri lorsque, vers la fin, le personnage de Brent Spiner dit "Beam me up Scotty". (...
