Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning star in the fun, lighthearted comedy Uptown Girls. When the daughter of a former rock star loses her trust fund she's forced to take a job as a nanny for a rigid, uptight 8-year-old girl. The story is rather formulaic and the characters are a little cliche, but Murphy and Fanning have great chemistry together and are able to elevate the material. Additionally, the film has a nice message about the trails and bonds of friendship. Uptown Girls is pretty much a by the numbers buddy comedy, but there's also some charm to it too.

A good chick flick with some heartwarming scenes! A must see!

A decent, enjoyable film. I really love Brittany Murphy!
-
I had some preconceived notions going in, but I actually really liked this movie and I thought Dakota Fanning did an excellent job.
