TV Guide Magazine
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. - 50
Boston Globe
Isn't as witty, stylish, or sophisticated as the similarly themed "The Devil Wears Prada." Material Girls is pitched to the Seventeen crowd, and it succeeds on its own terms. These days, even pre teens live in a material world. - 50
Variety
It's less substantial than cotton candy, but Material Girls is as slickly produced as one of the Marchetta TV spots. - 38
New York Daily News
A superficial tween comedy that mocks celebutantes like the Olsen twins while simultaneously pushing stars Hilary and Haylie Duff as their replacements. - 30
L.A. Weekly
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. - 30
The New York Times
The real-life sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff star in this incompetent spin on the poor-little-rich-girl story. - 25
The A.V. Club
The most shocking moment comes during the closing credits, when it's revealed that not one, not two, but three screenwriters were responsible for a plot that someone seems to have hastily slapped together after taking a walk around a Sephora outlet while listening to "Beat Of My Heart" on loop. - 10
Chicago Reader
Painfully unfunny comedy.
