Molly (Murphy) is a partying rock 'n' roll princess whose money just ran out. Ray (Fanning) is a fussy nine-year-old girl whose last nanny just ran out. Only Ray's way-too-busy mom (Locklear) could think that hiring Molly would be the perfect setup for both girls. But as this unlikely pair faces everything from control issues (Ray's, of course) to temper tantrums (Molly's, of course), they discover that sometimes your best friend can come from the place you least expect! (official distributor synopsis)

At first glance, this is a bland comedy, and at second glance an acting concert by Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning with the lovely Heather Locklear in a supporting role. Uptown Girls is a clever mirror of a child who matured faster and a childish adult who, after a chance encounter, find inspiration in each other to live their own lives better. It’s entertaining even when you watch it again.
