Customer Reviews of Uptown Girls
If You Like Brittany Murphy like Me ... Just Formulaic Drama Greenestreet Film receptionist Allison Jacobs thought of the original story, and developed it with other three writers to make it "Uptown Girls." Clearly the genesis of the film is appealng to her, and the Brittany Murphy/Dakota Fanning duo is helpful to make it more so. But one strange thing is the choice of the director Boaz Yakin, whose previous films are rather serious ones ("Fresh" and "A Price above Rubies").
The strength and weakness of "Uptown Girls" may be accounted for with this unique origin. It features hopelessly clueless (NYC's) Uptown girl Molly, whose dad was a once popular rock singer. She lives in a comfy room with so many birthday presents that she'd rather thrown them away to some charity institute as if nothing.
But her life changes entirely when her financial manager "Bob" (just Bob) takes all the money and flies to Brazil. She has to earn money, and her last resort is to be a babysittter for a rich 8 year-old girl, Dakota Fanning's Ray, whose mother is always away from the penthouse. And Ray is awfully, very awfully, precocious.
Can they be friends? Can they understand each other? Of course, you know the answer for sure, but that is not a problem at all. The two leading ladies are charming enough in their own way, I thought, but some (or many) would take these ladies otherwise, thinking them too obnoxious and noisy. Frankly this is the point that divides the opinions among viewers. If you hate Ally McBeal, you should stay away from this one.
Brittany Murphy's Molly may look as if following the tradition that comes from Marilyn Monroe -- good-natured blonde girl who just cannot get everything right, but still charming. Ms. Murphy is sexy and seductive enough to engage our attention, but I found Dakota Fanning lacks her usual charms. She does not smile at all, and that might explain why.
Director Boaz Yakin does decent job in inducing Brittany Murphy to show her delightful side, but his handling of the supports are total failure. Molly's boyfriend by Jesse Spencer is insignificant (or I say unnecesary), and Ray's mother Heather Locklear is just reduced to a cypher. Why didn't director concentrate more on drawing the relations between these girls, which is more engaging, than on the cursory descriptions of the supports?
From the first moment we see Molly tumbles into Ray's room with a little pig in tow, this is a modern-age fairy tale. You cannot take this film in any level of reality. It's a fantasy, and this is how the film wants to be taken. That's how the film was born, and how it should be taken.
Great Everything In One Movie!
This movie was great! It had a little bit of everything in it!!! It had romance, comedy, drama, and a life lesson in it. I am 13 and watched it with my 39 year old mom and we both loved it! It is the best movie EVER. My dad didn't like it, but he doesn't like chick flicks! LOL! <

THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uptown Girls DVD ~ Brittany Murphy is a sweet, innocent and funny comedy. It won't win any oscar statues for its dialogue. But I liked it still...
