Reviews

Despite its star-studded cast and glamorous premise, Material Girls received harsh criticism from numerous platforms. On IMDb, the film earned a low rating of 3.9/10, evidencing its struggle to resonate with audiences. Rotten Tomatoes reported a dismal 4% approval rating, signifying overwhelming negative responses from critics. Metacritic scored the film even lower at 17 out of 100, further emphasizing its lack of appeal. The Los Angeles Times called it a 'shallow take on sisterhood and wealth,' noting that 'the film often relies on cliché humor and predictable plot points.' Another critic mentioned, 'The potential of a heartwarming story is overshadowed by poor writing and lackluster performances.' While some viewers enjoyed the light-hearted escapism and the chemistry between the lead actresses, the overall consensus remains that 'Material Girls' fell short of expectations, failing to bring depth or innovation to its narrative.
