Uptown Girls
Molly Gunn, the freewheeling daughter of a deceased rock legend, is forced to get a job when her manager steals her money. As nanny to Ray - the precocious, oft-ignored daughter of a music executive - she learns what it means to be an adult while teaching Ray how to be a child.

The film recovers from its weakest romantic subplot moments to deliver an emotionally resonant finale that surprised critics.
Critics found Uptown Girls predictable in setup but were won over by the genuine chemistry between Murphy and Fanning. The film's emotional depth around grief and growth surprised reviewers who expected shallow comedy. Despite weak romantic elements, the core relationship and ending earned widespread praise.
