If you're a fan of treacly, superficial stories about completely unlikable people forming friendships, or if you like pratfalls, then this is the movie for you.

Consensus: With two obnoxious lead characters and an uneven screenplay, Uptown Girls fails to charm.

Reviews for Uptown Girls
While the movie hits on a bunch of emotional topics, the dialogue veers into the mawkish far more than necessary.
08/27/03
The ending is so forced that it betrays the movie’s potential.
08/27/03
In truth, this isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. Fanning is really good and Murphy gives as good as she gets.

Like an evil, terrifying version of The Odd Couple.
08/22/03
Can two over-pampered but fundamentally lonely persons of the blonde female persuasion bond meaningfully with each other while shopping?
08/21/03
Top CriticYakin shuns caricature. His affection for all his feckless characters, even Fanning's narcissistic mom (Heather Locklear), is evident.
08/21/03
Top CriticCombine two mannered performances with a script intent on achieving maximum cuteness, and you've got one wince-inducing sugar rush.
08/21/03
Gives chick flicks a bad name.
08/21/03
A reworking of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? with Fanning in the Davis role and, say, Emily Osment in the Crawford one might be a smart bet for some forward-thinking producer.
08/21/03
Worth going Uptown for.
08/20/03
Several decent movies are screaming to get out of "Uptown Girls."
08/20/03
You can feel the screenwriters run out of ideas early on.
08/20/03
Brittany Murphy is top billed, but nine-year-old Dakota Fanning almost makes the cloying, predictable film interesting.
08/19/03
Murphy creates a rather fascinating chemistry with Fanning, who resolutely absconds with the film as a controlling tot from hell, a fun-killing spinster trapped in a prepubescent body.
08/19/03
This is one sad, dull film.

Locates Fanning's 'maturity' in a fear of germs that comes off as borderline psychotic, and Murphy's childlike free spirit in her apparent inability to avoid walking into walls.
08/19/03
Before you waste any money, let me remind you that bad movies do happen. Even Uptown.
