    The Duffs are certainly cute together, but not even their natural chemistry can enliven all the preachy bits about hard work and the meaning of happiness.

    A superficial tween comedy that mocks celebutantes like the Olsen twins while simultaneously pushing stars Hilary and Haylie Duff as their replacements.

    The real-life sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff star in this incompetent spin on the poor-little-rich-girl story.

    The Duffs don't even fully commit to their characters here -- they’'e seemingly undecided about whether they can get away with being shallow and bratty without ruining their family-friendly images.

    This movie is not what i hoped it would be, but very close. After reading bad reviews I was convinced that it bombed but what people did not see was how two once rich girls make the best of a garbage dump of a situation and turn their lives around...Good movie… Expand

    One of the worst movies I've seen this year. I laughed at the ridiculousness of it all, which seemed to help somewhat...Good luck, parents.

    Bad Movie in nearly every way. Hillary Duff is annoying and the movie looks like it was shot and directed by a drunk and bored three-year old.

    I really wanted to enjoy this film. But it's so bad, the acting is just horrible, i feel sorry for Angelica Houston thought, in every scene that she appears we can see on her face an expression like : "Get me out of here, i'm just doing this piece of c** because of the paycheck". And adding to this, the film is still racist!! Haylie is not the worst, but just because she have Hillary to be compared.… Expand
