Uptown Girls
Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning star in this charming romp about a young woman and a young girl who are thrust together against the odds but ultimately teach each other something about life and love. Murphy is Molly Gunn, a rock and roll princess whose father was a famous music legend. She lives wildly off her inheritance--until the man in charge of her money run off with it. With bankruptcy staring her in the face, she is forced to do something she never dreamed of--get a job. So she becomes a nanny--for precocious Ray Schleine (Fanning), an eight-year-old who acts more mature than she does but doesn't have much fun in life.
Boaz Yakin's comedy is filmed throughout New York City and it takes advantage of that setting like few recent films. The streets of the city are another character as Molly and Ray slowly begin to develop a relationship that neither one ever dreamed would happen. The movie features support from Heather Locklear as Ray's very busy record executive mum, Donald Faison as Molly's party-loving music friend, and Jesse Spencer as Molly's musician boyfriend, who did all his own singing on the film and whose work appears on the soundtrack album.

Better than expected
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. The little girl who plays Ray is brilliant, and Brittany Murphy goes well from spoiled brat to a genuine person.

'Act your age, not your shoe size'
I loved this film, it probably won't be everyone's 'cup of tea', but I really did enjoy it. Brittany Murphy was amazing, and beautiful and ... read more »

Mixed feelings
It's very sad to think that Brittany Murphy is no longer with us as she always seems to give such a vulnerable performance.
She slowly develops a... read more » - 968802

Didn't rock my world...
This film would have potential hit written all over it, but unfortunately when it actually comes to the finished product it just didn't quite work!
