It is deep movie. I was emotional while watching this. I saw part of myself, my story on the screen. However it didn't want to be deep and serious movie. Instead the directors and writers wanted it to be light and cute. It's family friendly. I'll surely watch it again. It was emotional roller coaster for me. But who knows, it may be just me. For other person it might seem cheap wanna be flick. But that doesn't matter. It's my review and my feeling. And it's true that it seemed deep and touched me inside. Also it stars three or four of my wanna see actors. Little Dakota girl, late Brittany Murphy and a guy from Clueless. It's cute movie. And I'll cherish it.

"Uptown Girls" is a movie that some people told me good about, but in fact, it's not that great. Brittany Murphy is beautiful as always, but her characters feels dead for the most of the time; I dare even to state she acts badly in here-- which is unusual to her. The child in this film feels over the top, delivering an unconvincing character. Plot also isn't well elaborated, feeling cheap and cliché, so I don't see how so "many" people adored it. To be honest, four stars out of ten is a generous act of mine, considering it's a bad production anyways. Brittany Murphy surely has made better works, so it's not of those to remember her in.

Sure, this movie is cheesy and predictable. You know exactly what will happen after the first 10 minutes. So what? It makes me smile and it sometimes even makes me cry. I've seen this movie at least 3 or 4 times and it never gets old. Molly and Ray are both flawed, but that's what makes them so lovable. Their backgrounds are both extremely sad, but you eventually get a happy ending. Maybe I'm a sucker for feel-good, heartwarming movies but this truly a wonderful movie. If you are looking for something new and original, then this isn't the movie for you, but if you want something that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a smile and a happy feeling then go watch it! I promise you won't regret. Oh, and as a side note, I really enjoy the song "Molly Smiles".

Brittany Murphy was really great and played her role well. I definitely love her acting skills in this movie! She brings laughter to the film with her funny lines and actions.Dakota Fanning - I must admit - is a good little actress in this movie. She is serious and acts like an adult. She made the film interesting along with her lines. "I had those shoes... When I was 5."Marley Shelton's character, Ingrid, however annoyed the hell out of me with her whining.This movie had it's serious parts and funny parts. The serious parts were sad, and the funny parts were, well, funny!I mostly laughed at Brittany Murpheys scenes where she acted like a child and then you have Fanning being the grown up of the film.I liked it and I think it's worth watching especially because Brittany Murphey does a great job!
