Editorial Review:
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.......2007-06-13
Uptown Girls Metro Golden Mayer Trade Mark, 2003, 92 minutes, price varies Story by: Allison Jacobs
One night, Molly gets dressed up for her twenty-second birthday party. A bunch of people were there, except for Molly's parents, for they died when she was a little girl. Molly used to be rich, but was now poor, so then one morning she came to find that she had been kicked out of her apartment due to not fully paying her bills. For money, she gets a job as a nanny, and is now responsible for a nine year old brat, Ray. Molly is now living with Ing, her mature best friend. However, she is forced out of the house when they get into a fight. So, Molly moves in with another best friend, a dark skin man named Huey, (he is a choreographer). Finally deciding that she cannot depend on others for a living, Molly sells a guitar collection, the only memory of her parents, (her father was a famous singer), and then buys a tiny apartment with the money.
Molly continues to deal with Ray, who is mature and neat but can still be a disrespectful brat. However, through many miserable days, they help each other through times of sadness, sickness, and even happiness. A hard time is when Ray's dad dies. Ray then becomes mad at Molly because Molly promised Ray that her dad would come out of his coma and not die if Ray talked to him and loved him. So, when Ray's dad died the next day, Ray's mom announces, "Molly, we have decided to let you go," Molly was sad, she had lost her new best friend! However, she got her back by coming to Ray's ballet recital. In the end, Molly finds many new friends to depend on in times of trouble, and even though she and Molly are thirteen years apart, they will be like sisters, together forever.
My opinion of this movie is that it is "two thumbs up!" There are many reasons to prove this! One is because I can always somehow feel or relate to the main characters. Also, this movie has a great atmosphere, and the writer of this movie definitely kept in mind the famous saying of "no tears for the writer, no tears for the reader", or in this case, watcher! Lastly, a reason why I like the movie "Uptown Girls" is because it has a unique plot, setting, and characters.
"Uptown Girls" is a great movie for movie nights! I recommend it to mature ten year olds, (no younger than ten because I first watched this movie when I was ten and there were a few parts that were inappropriate), up to any age! Even adults will love this movie that is both mature and immature! I hope that you and some friends can watch this movie and enjoy it, just like I did!
Uptown Girls!.......2007-04-29
Touching, funny, and true to life, this movie fallows the characters Molly and Ray. Molly is a spoiled rich girl, spawn of her dead rock star father. 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 girls begin to grow on eachother and depend on one another, discovering what it is like to have someone that you depend on greatly and love like a sister.
I loved this movie!.......2007-04-06
Molly Gun is a spoiled rich girl who likes to have fun and spend her money. Ray is a rich eight-year-old girl whose mother neglects her. When Molly loses her money, she goes to work as Ray's nanny. They don't get along at first, but they both soon become good friends. Ray acts way too mature for her age, while Molly is a little immature for her. Molly teaches Ray to act like a child, while Ray gives Molly a lesson in what it takes to be a grown-up. Heather Locklear plays Ray's mother, a selfish horrible witch who doesn't care or understand her daughter. She gives her gifts so she doesn't have to spend time with her. When Ray really needs someone to help her, she instead turns to Molly. It's a funny, cute movie and some parts of it even made me cry like where Ray and Molly are spinning in the teacups and then Ray starts to cry and she runs into Molly's arms. Great movie with a great message.
The spoiled princess's of Manhattan........2007-03-30
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 as always. The ending is so cute that it's embarrassing. This movie works so well, it's predictable, melodramatic, and formulatic but I defintely enjoyed this feel-good comedy from two gifted actress'.
"Uptown Girls" is a very enjoyable movie.......2007-01-12
"Uptown Girls" focuses on the friendship that develops between Ray (an 8 year-old going on 30) and Molly, her nanny, who acts her shoe size rather than her age. For those who have not seen this movie, it may appear corny or designed for a younger audience; however, it is much more of an adult film than it may outwardly appear. In her usual fashion, Dakota Fanning gives an outstanding performance, with an aptitude for acting well beyond her years. Ray and Molly's disparate personalities result in many clashes, but eventually they teach each other how to act their age - a very important life lesson.

GOOD SHOW BY INDIGO GIRLS .......2006-02-01
I'like this show because it's intimate, has great sound, and you can feel the mistic that surrounds the place.
Indigo Raw At It's Best.......2006-01-08
Chick bands are my thing. Without a doubt, if you are a chick band type of person, you'll find this DVD stellar. Had the VHS version for years. Although some will be stand-offish for the whole lesbian scene issue,...give these ladies credit. The strumming of the guitars hangs thick in the Indigo Lounge air while the vocals strike with unparalleled accuracy. I've had friends watch this DVD who wouldn't even have thought about buying an IG DVD. The moment they witness this concert, they are off to their favorite music purchase outlet to get their hands around this one. Repeat performance that you'll never tire of. Guarantee.
