Material Girls 🎥 2006 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Sisters Tanzie and Ava are wealthy, spoiled Hollywood socialites who enjoy shopping and dating, paying little attention to their late father’s company, Marchetta Cosmetics, run by co-founder and family friend Tommy Katzenbach. Tanzie is going to college soon and Ava is planning to announce her engagement with fiancé Mick. A major media scandal breaks, involving disfigurement from Marchetta night cream. The girls and their father’s reputation is destroyed, and Ava and Tanzie retreat to their mansion. While preparing a home spa treatment, Tanzie accidentally spills nail polish remover.

Ava’s lit cigarette is then dropped during an argument, starting a fire. Ava saves their father’s watch and her engagement party dress while Tanzie saves their TiVo box with recordings of her father talking about his cosmetics. Going to a hotel, they learn all their credit cards have been blocked, leaving them completely broke. They move in with their maid, and close family friend, Inez in her small apartment. While there, their car is stolen by two men whom they naively mistook for valets. The next morning, Ava and Tanzie, without their car, take a bus and then walk the rest of the way to Ava’s engagement party.

They are refused entry, their friend Etienne ignores them, and they realize they were only liked for their money. Ava’s fiancé Mick has his agent, a man named Sol, dump her as she is now considered a “liability,” referring to their engagement as if it were a business transaction. Tommy plans to persuade the board of directors to sell Marchetta Cosmetics to archrival Fabiella for $60 million. The girls have 30 days until the stockholders meeting, when the deal will be made official. The deal would mean they could return to their extravagant lifestyles, but they are depressed over their father’s legacy being destroyed.
