Molly Gunn, the freewheeling daughter of a deceased rock legend, is forced to get a job when her manager steals her money. As nanny to Ray - the precocious, oft-ignored daughter of a music executive - she learns what it means to be an adult while teaching Ray how to be a child. From TMDB

42 of 42 · most liked firstUPTOWN GIRLS is not the film I remembered. In snapshots, it has all of these funny zingers about not acting your age, but it all disguises how sad this movie and these characters are. Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning are so sensational together. I love intergenerational friendships.

unlabelledView post →A friend of mine, on hearing that the film of THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK was in pre-production, started singing 'Updike Girls' to the tune of Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girls'. Another friend of mine gave him the Inaugural 'Stephen Dedman Award for Most Obscure Literary Pun of the Year'.
unlabelledView post →37.) Uptown Girls This is one of those films I've been seeing the name of for decades but never saw, nor had the situation for it. Today was the day. Honestly, it was a cute film. Formulaic but Murphy and Fanning were great. It's always been such a shame about Murphy dying so soon. #2025Films

unlabelledView post →If writing buddies are struggling with #writing a stoic character and showing the emotional breakdown we all love to see in that type of character, the 1983 movie Uptown Girls, with Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning, does this VERY well, perhaps the best I've ever seen onscreen.
unlabelledView post →I watched Uptown Girls w/Brittany Murphy for the first time. CRIED! Then I did a rewatch of With Honors. BAWLED! Did a rewatch of Beware of the Blob, the sequel to the Blob. I was rooting for the Blob the entire movie. The only things that didn’t deserve to be eaten was the fly & the kitten LOL.

unlabelledView post →Uptown Girls (2003) A pretty generic film greatly elevated by Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning just killing their lines. Fanning in particular has soooo many good lines. Everyone else is pretty disposable, and I wouldn't say the heartfelt stuff hit, but still

unlabelledView post →About to watch UPTOWN GIRLS for the first time, a movie I’ve wanted to watch since 2003 when I saw its summary in the little smudgy new-on-the-shelves zine my hometown’s little video rental place would leave in stacks on seemingly every shop counter within a five mile radius 📽️
unlabelledView post →Uptown Girls and Good Will Hunting are the same movie
unlabelledView post →Uptown Girls is NOT a romance. The movie is about dealing with grief and it centers the relationship between Brittany Murphy's character, an unlikely nanny, and Dakota Fanning's character, her young charge. The guy is very much a secondary character.
unlabelledView post →I need to know how many other CPTSD, late-diagnosed ND folks that were raised as girls feel an intense connection to the movie Uptown Girls because it simultaneously shows our adultified younger self and our childlike adult self healing all at once.

unlabelledView post →After watching a Final Girl Studios YouTube video that praised the film Uptown Girls (2003), I felt like I should give the film a shot, despite having come across it previously and disregarded it. Well... I was so wrong... the first time. #UptownGirls started out exactly as I expected and I even considered turning it off. Though, little by little, my feelings started getting caught up in the film - and by the end I was crying my eyes out. The brilliance of Brittany and Dakota is undeniable.

unlabelledView post →Way more than a shallow “chick flick” romcom. RELEASED IN 2003 and directed by Boaz Yakin, "Uptown Girls" is a dramedy with a little romance about Molly (Brittany Murphy), a fun-loving 22 year-old who suddenly loses her inherited riches and is forced to become a nanny to a stoical neat-freak girl, Ray (Dakota Fanning). Heather Locklear plays Ray’s distant mother who’s an exec in the music biz while Jesse Spencer plays a hunky musician who gets signed. Marley Shelton and Donald Faison are on…
