Uptown Girls (2003)

Synopsis: Molly Gunn is the spoiled, freewheeling daughter of a late rock legend and the toast of the Manhattan social scene. However, after hitting a huge financial snag, when her inheritance is stolen by her manager, Molly is forced to do something that she's never done before--get a job. Molly becomes a nanny to a notoriously precocious and disobedient Ray Schleine, an "eight-year-old going on forty" who lives with her mother on the Upper East Side. Emotionally distant from her fast-paced A&R executive mother Roma, Ray has grown up with a revolving door of nannies and too little stability. Molly and Ray both feel painfully alone in the world, but as they try to make their new arrangement work, each discovers in the other a true friend.

I think I saw this movie last year when it was called About a Boy.

Yup.

It's "About A Boy" meets "The Nanny Diaries"

When I heard about it I thought about The Nanny Diaries. I love that book. And I love ABout A Boy.

But the reviews I read werent golden. Anybody see it? Was it any good?

I saw it. It was just alright. There were some cute parts to it, but it really wansn't spectacular. I was hoping for better.
On another subject, I FINALLY saw how to lose a guy in 10 days yesterday. That movie is hilarious!

Sigh. I love Brittany Murphy, and Dakota Fanning is a cutie. I'd have to rent a couple of kids to go see it, though.

I saw it... Dakota Fanning is cute but this movie was so horrible. They tried to push the plot down our throat.

"Laugh NOW!"

"Cry NOW"

"Feel happy NOW"

It was too much...

I know this sounds cheesy, but this is my fav. movie of all time.

I love Britany and Dakota is the best so I thought I would try it out. It was a cute film but the ending was bad. There were some very good lines though.
