What happens

Uptown Girls is a 2003 American comedy drama film directed by Boaz Yakin and starring Brittany Murphy, Dakota Fanning, Heather Locklear, Marley Shelton, Donald Faison, and Jesse Spencer. Adapted by screenwriters Julia Dahl, Mo Ogrodnik and Lisa Davidowitz from a story by Allison Jacobs, it focuses on Molly Gunn (Murphy), the naïve daughter of a famous rock musician who, after learning her inheritance has been embezzled, finds herself employed as a nanny for a precocious hypochondriac girl named Ray (Fanning) in Manhattan, New York. Initially panned, the film later gained a more positive reception and has been called a 2000s classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
