Material Girls
Sisters of tween popularity Hilary and Haylie Duff, play on screen sisters who lose an inherited fortune and are reduced to the simple life.
Tanzie & Ava inherit a cosmetic empire from their late father. After a tabloid accuses the company’s products of having disfiguring effects the business faces bankruptcy. The sisters are forced to step down from the lap of luxury, as the company’s stock plummets, and also manage to burn down their mansion and loose the car.
The situation leads them to reside with their former maid, (Maria Conchita Alonso), and enter into a working-class routine of working, domestic chores and using public transport. The girls attempt to rectify the reputation of the cosmetic company through their own detective work and regain the fortune which is so rightly theirs.
