Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 04 Jan 2004

an incredibly formulaic setup that would be more at home in a made-for-TV movie starring Patricia Heaton and that little girl from Seventh Heaven…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Worcester Telegram & Gazette (604) on 02 Jan 2004

Whether you buy Uptown Girls or not will depend on whether you're willing to go along with its utterly contrived and formulaic plot…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By David Foucher (211) for EDGE Boston (239) on 06 Oct 2003

Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning can't rise above a weak script in this riches-to-rags tale; Uptown is low-rent…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Andrew Sarris (502) for New York Observer (1,400) on 25 Sep 2003

Though I found Mr…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 05 Sep 2003

If you're a fan of treacly, superficial stories about completely unlikable people forming friendships, or if you like pratfalls, then this…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Shirley Klass (48) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 26 Aug 2003

The ending is so forced that it betrays the movie's potential…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Eric Lurio (584) for Greenwich Village Gazette (481) on 24 Aug 2003

In truth, this isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. Fanning is really good and Murphy gives as good as she gets…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Bob Campbell (27) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 20 Aug 2003

Yakin shuns caricature. His affection for all his feckless characters, even Fanning's narcissistic mom (Heather Locklear), is evident…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 20 Aug 2003

A reworking of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 20 Aug 2003

Frankly, you may prefer the company of cinematic serial killers (Freddy vs. Jason) after you meet the pair at the center of this story…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for Nitrate Online (381) on 18 Aug 2003

Brittany Murphy is top billed, but nine-year-old Dakota Fanning almost makes the cloying, predictable film interesting…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By David Noh (869) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 18 Aug 2003

Murphy creates a rather fascinating chemistry with Fanning, who resolutely absconds with the film as a controlling tot from hell, a fun-killing…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Laura Sinagra (110) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Aug 2003

Less Freaky Friday than just plain freaky…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Entertainment Today (201) on 17 Aug 2003

A weird, unsuccessful and by all accounts unreasoned blend of styles [that] seems shot and edited together by two entirely different people…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Salon.com (2,725) on 16 Aug 2003

A modern fairytale that loads up big-time on the girly trappings but doesn't give you much in the way of plot or characters or even plain old sense…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 16 Aug 2003

The sort of film that shuffles along sleepily, dazedly, barely aware of what it's doing and hardly caring whether the audience is still following…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 15 Aug 2003

Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning make for a winning combination, and their characters' sometimes dark journeys do not always take the most…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Madblast.com (6) on 15 Aug 2003

The film has a weird foot fetish. The part where she was barefoot on the city streets actually grossed me out…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By John Venable (339) for Supercala.com (431) on 15 Aug 2003

Entirely unoriginal and unbelievably predictable, but director Boaz Yakin knows how to create Kodak moments for the crowd that desires such fare…

Review of Uptown Girls (2003)

By Betty Jo Tucker (725) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 14 Aug 2003

Brittany Murphy pulls off a few slapstick sight gags here, but nothing to compare with her hilarious pratfalls in 'Just Married…
