Brittany Murphy charms as Molly, an immature, sexy, hoarder who lives in the hotel from Babe 2: Pig in the City and sleeps with the pig Babe from Babe. She nannies for Dakota Fanning as Ray, a Skynet-created simulant of a child actor dead set on destroying all humanity, starting with her own facial expressions. The pair butt heads over the idea of "acting one's age" and "who can be a bigger ¢U₦₮." Amidst career and family crises, financial woes, and an unhealthy obsession with forcing sex on the (Australian?) dude from House, Molly learns that no matter how rich, white, privileged, selfish, cruel, and manipulative you are, you can always improve by surrounding yourself with even more selfish, cruel, rich white people that make you seem like a damn saint in comparison. Also she learns that Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray would like her to build him some special rock n' roll pants.While distracted by the fact that I was watching a dead person babysit a ghost, I still managed to register all the screen writing shortcuts, shameless clichés, sexist tropes, and dated licensed music on offer. Imagine my surprise when the film's climax offered an emotionally satisfying arc for all parties involved, reminding us that true, selfless, love and friendship is the most powerful force in this world. Uptown Girls is a family film that's not for kids. A comedy with no real laughs. A romance about codependent manipulation and sexual victimization. A cynical, lazy, trainwreck of a film that left me in tears. RIP Brittany Murphy. Heather Locklear could still get it. And Nasty Nas shows up.

This movie is fabulous. It is the film equivalent of cotton candy with some smartness. Sweet, funny ,and charming . Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning are a dynamo team in this film about growing up. It skips the hard stuff. It's a grade A chick flick with some brains that really shows an honest relationship between two women. The best thing about this film is how it flips the rolls. Fanning is the grown up and Murphy is the child. Switching the rolls in this films is a smart move and a refreshing one at that. Remember when you see this film to enjoy but not take this TOO seriously. It is a just chick flick. Go out and get this film to watch with your girls or gays. :) Its entertaining and fluffy comedy that has some sense of brains. Murphy is a great talent who has that lucile ball charm. She radiates the screen every time she is on. Such a great talent she was. Shame we lost her so early.

A fairly entertaining movie that could be labeled as a chick flick. This is the kind of movie where one of the two main characters (this time a little girl) has a really bad attitude caused by familiar problems and some other issues. But everything changes when she meets a hot but naive baby sitter that will take care of her always. Also, she teaches her lessons of life and helps her get through the different problems of being a young girl as the film points it out.As a man who is into Horror I can only say that this movie is recommended for an audience that enjoys this kind of romantic comedies that always have a positive message and a happy ending.The performances are alright. Brittany Murphy is sexy as always and always manages to deliver a fun performance. She's pretty fine. Dakota Fanning is very annoying but the girl is a very good actress.Just watch this movie and enjoy... To be honest I didn't expect it to be this "good". Recommended for women specially.

This movie is, without a doubt, the worst thing I've ever seen, and I've seen some MAJOR pieces of crap. But this movie really stands out for me, because it's the only time I've switched off before a movie ended. You want to know what I did then? I watched my toenails grow. It was a lot more interesting and, funnily enough, less predictable than Uptown Girls. I could feel myself get stupider and stupider as the movie went on, until I became afraid that I was going to end up in a vegetative state.Everything about this movie stunk, and the writers should be forced to watch Cradle Of Fear over and over again for the rest of time. Don't get me wrong, I think Dakota Fanning is a nifty little actress, and was creepy as anything in Taken. If they do an all female midget version of Silence Of The Lambs, I'm nominating her for the part of Hannibal. But I digress...The problem isn't the actors, it's just that this movie bit the big one. The characters are annoying as Hell, the acting is deplorable, the soundtrack is your run-of-the-mill girlie attempt at punk rock which just sounds completely poo and may make you psychotic, and the plot is, at beast, mind numbingly predictable. Seeing Brittany Murphy trying to act all loved up (I THINK that's what she was trying to act...) was pretty scary. It looked like the director had doped her up on who knows what and let her off in front of the camera. I threw up a little bit in my mouth during the "Pez" bit. I was a little worried they might have given Murphy brain damage before the scene, and that's why she was acting like a bit of a partard.Long story short, this movie is utter crud, and really, you should be buying me awesome presents for letting you know and saving you the torture of sitting through it.Oh yeah, and don't even get me STARTED on that damn song that Jesse Spencer sings...
