Uptown Girls (2003)

What’s so great about being a grown-up? I’ve wondered about that for years. I imagine you have too. Aside from needing a stipend to live on, being an adult can be overrated. Molly Gunn (Brittany Murphy) seems to be doing fine, living off her inheritance. Sure, she hasn’t accomplished much, doesn’t have many real friends and can’t seem to cope with the day-to-day intricacies of city living. But she is having fun as long as her accountant Bob pays the bills. Now broke, homeless and in need of a job, she becomes a nanny for Ray Schliene (Dakota Fanning) and they have yet to connect. In a snit, Molly quits her job, walks out of the kitchen and slams the door. Unfortunately for her, it is a swinging door. Yeah, that sure does sting and likely will leave a scar.
