(1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1   "Brittany Murphy pulls off a few slapstick sight gags here, but nothing to compare with her hilarious pratfalls in 'Just Married.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 2/4 "Brittany Murphy is top billed, but nine-year-old Dakota Fanning almost makes the cloying, predictable film interesting."   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger C "Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning can’t rise above a weak script in this riches-to-rags tale; "Uptown" is low-rent."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2/4 "...an incredibly formulaic setup that would be more at home in a made-for-TV movie starring Patricia Heaton and that little girl from Seventh Heaven."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning make for a winning combination, and their characters' sometimes dark journeys do not always take the most obvious route to the inevitable happy ending."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "Or maybe the film is so fun because we actually get to see Dakota Fanning slap the living **** out of Brittany Murphy at Coney Island."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D+ "The sort of film that shuffles along sleepily, dazedly, barely aware of what it's doing and hardly caring whether the audience is still following it or not."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D "A collection of cliches and test screening results, put together in no particular order."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D- "An utterly vacuous bit of fluff...one of those clumsy concoctions in which every element rings false and all the seams show."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "Can two lonely hearts come together as one, rendering them Best Friends? I don’t care, and neither should you."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 2/4 "'El resultado es bastante mediocre, pues la cinta es bastante predecible y francamente aburrida'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade D+ "...obvious, pandering, prat-falling silliness that gets about a 20% return on its talent investment"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "You can feel the screenwriters run out of ideas early on."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Like an evil, terrifying version of The Odd Couple."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C+ "Murphy hasn't adjusted her expressions to her newly emaciated appearance, which makes her attempts to be twinkly and adorable a little grotesque."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "For a comedy, it's surprisingly laugh-free and for an oh-so-message-laden tale of spoiled-gal redemption, it's irritatingly sincerity-free."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg C- "Brittany Murphy's flighty, foolish trust-fund princess in Manhattan vies for the honor of the most annoying screen character of the year."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 1.5/5 "Haphazardly slapped together without an original bone in its anorexic frame."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 0/4 "Between this and I Am Sam, someone should call protective services on behalf of young Fanning."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 0/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1
