Uptown Girls (2003)
Brittney Murphy is not my favorite actress (except in Clueless, because really, I love everything about that movie) but she does a pretty good job of making me feel bad for her in this. Jesse Spencer (the Australian doctor from House) is decent as the rock-star sometimes boyfriend, plus hearing him sing is a definite plus, and Dakota Fanning really is a great actress. I'm glad that she, like Abigail Breslin, doesn't seem to be falling into the traps that snag some child stars. These two characters are fairly well-developed and by the end, you really do care what happens to them.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
