Uptown Girls is a
not very interesting movie about an immature young 23-year old woman
who learns to grow up when she becomes the nannie of a much-too-serious
eight year old girl.
Molly Gunn (Brittany Murphy) inherited a lot of money from her
rock-and-roll dad who died in a plane crash with mom. She parties a
whole with her friends Ingrid (Marley Shelton) and Huey (Donald
Faison). Falls in and out of love amazingly quickly, such as with her
latest object of attraction the up-and-coming musician Neal (Jesse
Spencer).
Molly's life is turned upside down when her accountant takes off with
all her money. Now she needs to get a job and Huey comes through,
hooking her up as a nanny for Ray (Dakota Fanning). Ray is amazingly
serious and adult for a little kid. This is because her dad is in a
coma and mom ignores her. After a lot of false starts Molly and Ray
become friends and learn to be more like each other.
I didn't like this movie. The character didn't click with me. Dakota
Fanning is just creepy to me. There's just something wrong about
Brittany Murphy. It's a story with people I didn't care about and that
made the whole movie boring. Really the best part of the package is the
Chantal Kreviazuk's music video.
