Summary: The greatness of Dakota Fanning
Review: Dakota Fanning is a very sweet girl, and a great talent. Someday, when her alien overlords call upon her to rule the Earth, and unite us all in harmony, it will be recalled that her starring role in this film presaged the coming of a new dawn in our history. People will clutch their Dakota dolls to their chests, remembering the first time they witnessed her innate acting ability:1st inning: Murphy grounds out to Yakin, Shelton (single but looking), Lemmon (quick J&B neat, make it a double), put that coffee down, pal, coffee is for closers only!, D. Fanning (HR)
2nd inning: Yakin (triple with a biggie iced tea), Hamburglar (tossed for arguing with ump-"rubblerubblerubble!"), Grimace (guest appearance on the "Smile" LP by the Beach Boys), R. McDonald (hits a big mac, rounds the bases, scores Yakin).
3rd inning: Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds in for Tinker, Evers, and Chance; substitution: William Campbell for Paul McCartney, substitute: by the Who; Emma Watson in to play 3rd base, gets head shaved for error which scores Fanning from 1st, appears in next Harry Potter film wearing a red wig-Hogwarts students confusedly call her "Penny Bones" throughout film while she wears the wig, gets fan mail from "Xena" fans when she doesn't. Sixth film, shot in 2008, includes scene in which Hermione and Penny (Eleanor Columbus) make out, while Yoda says "I sense a disturbance in my shorts".
4th inning: Newly-bald Emma gets a round of applause from her fans, as they scream "Are you still going out with Tom Felton?"
5th inning: The ratings are such a success from Emma's new haircut that it is decided that all women on the field will receive the same haircut. Dakota, Brittany, Marley, and all the other women are shaved bald. Ratings instantly triple. All 36 viewers are mesmerized by the stunning display of baseball prowess put on by these bald beauties. The girls decide their next project will be about the liberation of Paris, as they don't want their haircuts to go to waste!
6th inning: Dan Radcliffe bludgeons a quaffle
7th inning: Rupert Grint eats a waffle
8th inning: Elle Fanning says "These rhymes are awful!"
9th inning: Dakota says "Iced tea? I'm drinking a strawful!" In conclusion: Buy this DVD! Dakota Fanning is a god of cinema! UltraLord has spoken!

Summary: Nothing Is Wrong When Moll...Brittany Smiles.
Review: The only reason I saw this movie was because I love Brittany(MOLLY), she is so beautiful and a very talented actress.
And I am glad I did, because otherwise I would have never seen how great of an actress little Dakota(RAY)is. The direction I thought was great, New York has never been so beautiful, but of course it will never ever get as beautiful as sweet Britt. If you are expecting a laugh - out loud comedy well, it isn't, but what it looses, it gains it right back with the superb all around acting of all.
You have to go out and get this movie, recommended to all!

Summary: This isnt a fairy tale
Review: The movie lags on and on without going anywhere. The character are not even likable. Fannings character makes you cringe. The movie jacket says you'll cry and laugh, but you wont. The only thing you'll do is wasye 90 minutes on a really bad movie. One of the worst of 2003.

Summary: wonderful movie--Fanning absolutely shines
Review: I saw "Uptown Girls" twice in the theaters and made sure I snagged the DVD this morning, one day after its release. While there are some parts of this film that I personally feel brought a little clutter and confusion to the story (the whole beginning with Brittany Murphy's character Molly and the guy she brings home, as well as Molly's quick and random loss of all her money, just did not flow the right way; maybe it's just me, though), "Uptown Girls" really picked up as soon as young Molly Gunn (Murphy), a spirited, youthful young party girl begins her first major job as a nanny to 8-year-old Ray Schleine (Dakota Fanning). While the two can relate to and appreciate one another in some intense ways--Molly copes with her parents' death through playful and childish behavior, while little Ray handles her parents' emotional absences through a hard, angry, and unrelenting mask--it takes time for them to grow comfortable with each other's help. Part of what helps makes the storyline so realistic is that it doesn't begin with Molly and Ray hating each other and then quickly shift them into a sappy relationship where they become the best of friends. Even as they begin getting along and opening up more to each other, many halts and challenges cloud their gradual friendship throughout the film. Molly wants to care for the child and share her youthful charm with her, but Ray is not about to let down her defenses until she knows exactly who this Molly Gunn is and what kind of influence she will have on her life. The storyline moves very slowly at parts, but the excellent acting and the faithful innocence of the plot make it a truly worthwhile film that many can enjoy. The two leading actresses work extremely well with their roles, creating in-depth characters that we can slowly but surely feel for as the movie progresses. Brittany Murphy is wonderful and has a very childlike innocence to her that made the role of Molly Gunn perfect for her. As for 9-year-old Dakota Fanning.... I absolutely cannot get over her. Every once in a great, great, great while, Hollywood releases a child who starts appearing over and over and shows signs of greatness, and Fanning is just that type of little girl. This young actress is just incredible--I was watching and listening to her in the DVD's short featurette about the making of the film (there's a priceless segment in it with Dakota imitating the paparazzi) and was just in awe. This little girl has amazing maturity, is smart as a whip, and has tremendous talent. She knows exactly what's going on around her, and she's about as "with it" as any of the leading adult actors out there. I just know that Dakota is going to be the next Shirley Temple--the next child phenom who will, for the rest of her life, put light in the sometimes dark world and make people feel peaceful and happy with her films. Given a few more years, Dakota is going to have the whole world noticing her--Hollywood has already made sure of this by putting her in many diverse and increasingly mature roles. She's done a little drama (I Am Sam), science fiction (Taken), children's films (Cat In the Hat), fairytale-drama (Uptown Girls), and will soon take on her biggest, most intense role yet with Denzel Washington in the action thriller "Man On Fire." I just love the way Hollywood is using her maturity to their advantage yet is still allowing her to maintain that hopeful, gentle, and innocent glow that can establish her as a true inspirational fixture throughout her life. They certainly are not holding back with little Dakota--she may be only nine years old, but she's not just a cute little movie child with enough talent to carry a movie or two. She's got the fire and determination to go all the way, perhaps farther than any other child star has ever gone. It sounds extreme, but that's just how good she is, and there's this amazing promise she carries that almost cannot be explained--just embraced and believed. At 18 years old, I truly admire her; I wish her all the best, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what she becomes in the future. I guess I got a little off track here, talking more about Dakota Fanning herself than the movie...but all in all, "Uptown Girls" is a great, sentimental story that may bring a tear or two to your eye. As determined to motivate as it is to stress the importance of sharing emotions, "Uptown Girls" may be a great choice if you're looking for something powerful and ultimately uplifting, topped off with some inspired acting.

Summary: Pigs Rule!
Review: I'm generally not a fan of the "chick flick" but this one was very good. My husband even liked it. And if you're an animal lover, you will go hog-wild over the adorable pig. There are some great "extras" as well -- all in all, a good DVD to buy rather than just rent.

Summary: Chick-Crap at it's very best
Review: I normally hate movies like these, but there's something about "Uptown Girls" that was really special. While acting on both parts got pretty bad in comedy momants, it withstood very well in drama, when Britney remembers her parents, or when Dakota sees her father. Dakota Fanning is about the best child actor there is, but she's got a ways to go before the stipulation of 'child' is removed from my above statement. She can do it though. And Brittney provides great acting here too, proving that she too actually HAS talent, as you can also see in "SPUN". This makes them both really seem to care about eachother, which is a tough job for Dakota, because none of her love can just be her saying "I Like You"; she needs to pretend to hate Brittney, while at the same time convey that she cares. Brittney is able to channel the great Lucieal Ball for this performance, making constant mistakes, but still living in a world of whimsey and fun. Hopefully, we'll see more of this Brittney in movies to come. All in all, as good as your girlfriends taste in movies may ever get.

Summary: Enjoyable movie!!
Review: I went to the theatre to see this movie and I thought it was so cute!! It's a very good movie to go see with your friends and family. A very good buy! I thought that Britney Murphy did a wonderful job of acting with Dakota Fanning in this. Dakota also did a really good job of portraying a bratty kid. All in all, I recommend this movie to anyone who likes a fun loving, caring, comedy! Props to this movie!!
