| A movie that makes you feel better and better....and better (by laura-madalina) |
| I actually saw this film by mistake, and couldn't help posting a comment here which I actually think it's my first, but hey, it deserves it . I think it's a very thoughtful and sensitive movie, with plenty of funny but also moving scenes. Despite my better judgement, Brittany Murphy does a good job at playing the "confused" grown-up, while Dakota is a charming, if not absolutely fantastic grown-up "in the making". I think this movie is worth watching, at least, if not exclusively, for the terrific relationship between Ray and Molly. I had never expected to <more> |
| Brilliant (by oxmilliexo) |
| Molly Gunn: That's your dad? Ray: Was. Now he's a vegetable. And soon he'll be nothing. Molly Gun: Thats a little harsh. Ray: Its a harsh world.In my humble opinion the only reason that this film didn't get the acclaim it deserved was because adults wrote it off as a 'kids' movie and the kids didn't understand the emotional plot line.Molly Gunn Brittany Murphy is a woman who's rock and roll parents died when she was very young, leaving her with enough money so that she would never have to mature past the age she was when her parents left her.

| great comedy (by moviesfan11) |
| UPTOWN GIRLS 2003 Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning. This movie is very cute, funny, family friendly, and entertaining. Most people would think this is only a teen chick flick made to entertain teens. But it's not. There are messages and serious themes in this movie. Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning are great! This was superbly cast, wonderfully acted, and very cute. Highly recommeded. To anyone.UPTOWN GIRLS: 8 outta 10PG-13; some sexual content. |
| Dakota Fanning Spectacular!Continues to be hottest new star (by jessie-39) |
| Dakota Fanning is simply THE newest hottest young star in hollywood. She is 9 with the poise and acting ability of a 35 year old Julia Roberts. Words cannot describe how good she is. We have seen everything she has been in and she simply gets better with each movie. What a fantastic kid. The movie is fun for everyone, although it is not a comedy, it is billed as a dramady! and that suits it fine. Moral to the story and Brittany Murphy is charming in her role, more serious than the usually funny goofy roles played in the past. It is a great night out. |
| an Excellent Heartwarming Comedy! (by heber_947) |
| The film for me is very realistic and practical, it's funny but what made me like the movie is that i cried almost 10 times while watching this film.I hope that someday i could meet Brittany and Dakotta so that i could congratulate them and also to congratulate the director cause he managed to make a film of great portrayal! I really love Brittany even in her other films like Just Married for me she's one of Hollywood's Gem because in her portrayal as the nanny of Dakotta she is absolutely Adorable and worth crying for. Dakotta have also done impressive acting, she is amazing, <more> |
| "Uptown Girls" 9/10. Murphy makes it work and gives this movie its charm. (by dee.reid) |
| The plot to "Uptown Girls" is that it centers on Molly Gunn Brittany Murphy , who is the spoiled, 22-year old daughter of a deceased rock legend. When the manager steals her money, she's left broke and for the first time in her life, has to actually work. So she gets a job being a nanny to Ray Dakota Fanning , the neglected daughter of an overworked music executive. She doesn't really have much of a choice, since she has no "real" working skills or experience being employed. The two bond and become best friends and so on.True this film's plot slightly <more> |
| 2nd Best Dakota movie I've seen yet (by djmcanada) |
| Uptown girls is a great movie. Fanning did a great job on her role. If you have not seen it yet, I would highly recommend it. ; I might even buy it b/c it was so good. ; My favorite movie of Fanning is I Am Sam. I have yet to buy that one b/c it was Fanning's 1st big role in a movie. I'm a big fan. My goal is to see every TV and movie appearance that she has done. The is the # 1 child actress out there today. I pretty sure she will get a Star on Hollywoods WOF one of these days down the road. She has fun while she works. That's important. Why would you do something that you <more> |
| very good (by tennis_ace102) |
| Well i saw this like 2 years after it came out.my friend and i were looking for a movie and we saw it and i said aw that movie looks interesting and it has dakota fanning in it. We turned it on and we simply loved it. It was well written and well acted, Britney is an excellent actress and dakota performed to her greatest. This movie was sad but good. The ending was a bit random but other wise it was excellent. It was very different i thought i could not think of a movie that was like this which made this movie original. I saw this with my mum again when it was on TV and she loved it too. <more> |
| Uptown Girls is worth seeing (by residentevil_5000) |
| I got this film as a birthday present a while ago and I thought it was quite good. I don't get how people say it was a waste of time or is was awful. Brittany Murphy is a wicked actress and I thought she played her character very well. Dakota Fanning was brilliant too, although this character doesn't really suit her she played it well. And I see what someone wrote about the TV being on while her electricity was cut off, but maybe it was battery! I think people should definitely watch it, it's a sweet film and you don't have to think too hard about whats going on. The acting <more> |
