It's A Short Trip From The Penthouse To The Poorhouse.

Life's not so hard when you're a wealthy heiress. In fact, for Ava (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie Marchetta (Hilary Duff), it's downright easy. These girls go to the biggest parties, wear the most expensive clothes, and would attend the opening of a gilded envelope. Their late father's cosmetics company, Marchetta Cosmetics, keeps them on easy street, and the two heiresses never lift a finger, leaving the pesky day-to-day chore of actually running the business to their father's best friend Tommy (Brent Spinner).

When scandal erupts over one of Marchetta's products, the fickle social scene turns its back on the sisters and life suddenly turns tough. The sisters are thrown head-over-Manolo Blahnik's into the uncompromising real world, and it's not long before they realise it's time to set down the lipstick, put the parties on hold and save the company. In the process, the clueless socialites must overcome hurdles such as media invasion, angry protests, and even riding the bus!

I absolutely loved this amazing film. It has none- stop laughter and at times a few tears. Hilary and Haylie did a amazing performance and made the film a great success. The soundtrack amazing, the storyline great, and the acting flawless. I hope to see more of Hilary and Haylie acting together. Well earned 5 stars!

I watched this film one evening when i was bored, on sky movies, i didn't think it would be good cause i had never heard of it, but i thought the story was really good, well worth watching. the two girls are really good actors and i would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of mean girls, cinderella story, stuff like that. more a teenage film. i don't know why everyone is slating this film, maybe their in the older generation or something

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Good, light-hearted fun

Ignore the bad reviews. I really enjoyed this film and I'm 26! It's good, light-hearted entertainment. So what if it's 'predictable' and 'cheesy' as some have said? When you want to watch something on a relaxing evening, a film you haven't got to concentrate too much on and have a good laugh, I'd recommend this. I've seen a lot of Hilary's films and I think she's a good actress. If you do watch this, watch A Cinderella Story and The Perfect Man too. All good fun! I think the people that have slated this obviously only want serious films! Lighten up! :-)
