Material Girls was possibly the most painful movie I have ever watched. I couldn't stop cringing, and felt embarrassed for every person involved in producing this film. I'll be honest: I love reality TV, so I can tolerate bad writing, but the writing in Material Girls made me cringe every single moment. Subplots appeared out of nowhere and dropped out without explanation. But the worst parts of the movie (and there are so many bad moments) were the little touches of racism: Hillary Duff's imitation of a "gang-banger" by putting on a bad Mexican accent, and the black executive's (the only minor character who didn't overact, actually) breaking out into rap at the end. I mean overwhelming awfulness is one thing, but overwhelming awfulness plus racism is quite another.
