YMMV / Uptown Girls

• Funny Moments: At one point in the movie Molly has to break up a fight between Ray and another girl:
  Molly: Are you insane?! There is never an excuse for hitting another person! What's wrong?
  Ray: She was laughing at me because her "au pair" said my new nanny is a slutbag whore!
  (Molly reacts with a "oh no she didn't!" face before duking it out with the au pair)
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: Following Brittany Murphy's tragic death in 2009, Dakota Fanning (who was 15 at the time) said that she cherished the time they worked together on the movie and that she was grateful that she had the chance to work with Brittany. It makes the final scene all the more sweet looking back, especially the final line of the movie.
• Jerkass Woobie: Ray starts out as a rude, uptight brat, but as the story develops, we find out that her father is in a catotonic state (on his deathbed), while her mother neglects her emotionally.
• So Okay, It's Average: The acting isn't great and the story is pretty flimsy, but there's heart in the characters by the end. It all comes together to be a decent film, but nothing to be hailed as a classic anytime soon.
• Tear Jerker: Ray's breakdown after her father dies.
• The Woobie: Molly, considering that she lost practically everything in her life; first she loses her parents at a painfully young age, then she loses all of the wealth her parents left her, as well as everything that she was familiar and comfortable with all her life (and never gains it back).
