Uptown Girls (2003)

Cast: Brittany Murphy (Molly Gunn), Dakota Fanning (Lorraine "Ray" Schleine), Marley Shelton (Ingrid), Donald Faison (Huey)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Uptown Girls

I was torn before seeing this movie, since I'm a huge Dakota Fanning fan and not too fond of Brittany Murphy in most of her roles. Sometimes (like in Clueless) I've really enjoyed her, but sometimes she's just too over the top for me. Fortunately, in Uptown Girls, was a very cute movie. A spoiled brat of a woman who acts like a child ends up having to grow up and get a job. In doing so, she ends up taking the job of being a nanny for an 8-year-old who is already acting like an adult. Ray teaches Molly to grow up and Molly teaches Ray to let go a little and be a kid.

I enjoyed this movie. Sure, there's nothing to it, and it's totally predictable. But, it's fun and I think that was all it was meant to be. So, if you just want a fun movie with nothing scary or serious.

Grade: B-
