Party-hearty ho's or not, the idea that Hilary Duff is now "passing the baton of stardom" to a sibling is truly scary. I have yet to see any evidence of the supposed talent or charm that Hilary possesses which would justify her being so famous. It's not that she's evil, just that she's ordinary. Like one of those hideous Bratz dolls come to life -- And the idea of there now being TWO of them...OMG!!

You guys wanna know something really sad? This movie looks a complete rip off of a Disney Channel movie called "Cow Belles" with the Michalka sisters that aired 6 months ago. I guess the Duff sisters figure if Alyson and Amanda could do it, Hilary and Haylie could carbon copy it, and maybe boost Hillary's flat, lackluster career (and Haylie's non existent one!).

Response from Head RAZZberry: Actually, the "concept" of this movie dates all the way back to at least the Screwball Comedy era of the 1930s (and possibly to silent movies): The rich girl suddenly left poor who learns life lessons by facing harsh realities of everyday existence. It also sounds like yet another knock off of the Paris Hilton/Nicole Ritchie reality series THE SIMPLE LIFE...

More or less...for some reason, Hilary had something that producers, directors, and audiences liked in the areas that I mentioned in my previous post (Now I am not saying these people were extremely great judges of talent, but...) and Haylie did not seem to strike with the just mentioned groups.

The reason I know as much as I do about the Duff Sisters (and you being a parent I am sure know this as well) is from watching interviews on the Disney Channel that I was (am) forced to watch because of my kids (and my wife, who is a big kid at heart as well).

I guess a better way of putting it is that Hilary has had way more exposure in the limelight, and Haylie has mainly done more supporting and background work (especially in stuff involving her sister Hilary).

So this movie may be trying to serve a two-fold purpose for the Duff Sisters (What a name, The Duff Sisters)...

1) Get Hilary's movie career out of the stagnant state it has been in for the last 2-3 years.

2) Jump starting Haylie's into having a career.

I do not foresee this flick doing the trick, however. But then again, I thought "Step Up" would fall on it's face right next to "ZOOM" last weekend! 

 

Originally posted by JoBloMovieGoer Neither Hilary Duff nor Lindsay Lohan can hold a candle to the queen of no talent teens, Mrs. Kevin Federline, aka Britney. At least Lohan has made one or two okay movies ("Freaky Friday") and Duff is basically a harmless, though admittedly talent-free, teen idol. Britney, on the other hand, is a role more for ignorant-slatterns-in-training everywhere!

NO argument with me there JoBlo...!

Well this film is showing all the signs for its road to possible RAZZIE Glory; It is only playing in about 1500 theaters and so far is not being screened for critics. Is Anybody really surprised??

...or at the very least, bitch-slapped around the studio back lot!!

You should also know, HeadRAZZ, that this is a family film. We can be able to make sure this will be added to the Worst Family Entertainment category. I totally like this category better than last year's one, Most Tiresome Tabloid Target, since it never had anything to do with movies.
