"Uptown Girls" is a female-centered film. The whole film revolves around two female characters, and the two actresses who play them have naturally become the focus of attention. Although the film tried to replicate the achievements of the same type of film "The Lawful Beauty", the director, producer and actors also worked hard to complete their work, but most of the film critics were cynic after watching the film. The only thing most people affirmed is the performance of the heroine Brittany Anne Murphy in the film. Murphy is as cute as ever. The whole film is noticeable because of her performance, and it can also occasionally show a little bit of fun.
The originality of the film has been criticized. The story is very old-fashioned, just like a work produced in the 1980s. After watching the first minute, the audience will know what will happen in the next minute. In many details of the film, it is obvious that it can be used to draw lessons from other movies and TV. For example, the settings of the precocious girl Lei and the lively girl Molly are almost the same as the movie "Fantasy Street Pocahontas"; and Molly With a pig as a pet, such a bridge appeared in the 1988 TV series "Ms. Designer"; until the end, the screenwriter just ended the two films "A Boy" and "Crazy for Love" Stiffly mixed together.
Director Boaz Yakin’s methods have also been criticized. He suddenly turned a light-hearted comedy into a serious drama with the intention of earning tears in 30 minutes. It seemed very boring, and the whole film had too many loopholes
