Material
Girls is a satirical teen comedy film starring Hilary Duff and
Haylie Duff. It is based on a script written by John Quaintance and is
directed by Martha Coolidge the filmed was based on 2005 Fox reality
series The Simple Life starred by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. It
also stars Anjelica Huston, Lukas Haas, and Brent Spiner. It is
co-produced by Patriot Pictures and Madonna's film
production company, Maverick Films.
Instead of actors or musicians, the two play heiresses to a cosmetic
fortune built by their father who worked hard to create products that
would help women look beautiful without damaging their skin, but sadly
died two years ago. From him Tanzie Marchetta (Hilary) got brains and a
chemical know how and Ava Marchetta (Haylie) got presentation skills
and an unbeatable fashion sense. Actually, she probably acquired those
from her briefly mentioned model of a mother, but since the movie
largely ignores her we’ll do the same and say it came from her father,
who is mentioned at least every five minutes of the movie.
