Amazon.com: Brittany Murphy uses her ditzy/sexy combination to maximum effect in Uptown Girls. Molly Gunn (Murphy) is an heiress living off the estate of her dead rock star father--until an unscrupulous accountant embezzles everything and Molly has to get a job. After a failed attempt at retail work, Molly finds herself as the nanny for a prematurely humorless and rigid little girl named Ray (Dakota Fanning, I Am Sam), whose music mogul mother Roma (Heather Locklear) hardly ever sees her. Meanwhile, Molly woos an English musician who's trying to get a record contract from Roma. Unsurprisingly, Ray teaches Molly to take some responsibility for herself, while Molly gives Ray the opportunity to become the child she is--but despite the formulaic quality of the story, the two actresses play off each other well, and something unexpectedly touching emerges. Also featuring Marley Shelton (Sugar & Spice). --Bret Fetzer

Uptown girls is like chick flick and drama mixed. It was made in 2003 and super good. The main actors were Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning. What happens is a woman, who kept her childish instincts and behavior starts working as a nanny acts like an adult. But in the end everything turns to its right places.So basically, they're gonna show each other how to act their age.

When her inheritance money is gone, she has to turn to work, which she has just discovered. She starts her first job, being the nanny to a little rich girl named "Ray", who is more serious then Molly.
"Act your age, not your shoe size," says little Ray, who is, of course, more mature compared to immature and undependable Molly.
But, the ... Read More

Rating: - The spoiled princess's of Manhattan.
Uptown Girls starring Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning is quite delightful about a rich girl (Murphy) who loses her inheritance and must become one of the normal people - she has to get a real job (gasp!). Donald Faison and Heather Locklear also star. Fanning has never been more than a pain in the rump for this particular role but she is one of the most talented young actress' since Jodie Foster. Murphy has great range as an actress, every role she commits to, she delivers a clean, enerergtic performance ... Read More
