The feel-bad movie of the summer. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
Uptown Girls gives the impression that everyone behind the camera just threw up their hands in helpless resignation. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Frankly, you may prefer the company of cinematic serial killers (Freddy vs. Jason) after you meet the pair at the center of this story. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
This is not only unsuitable for children, it's a colossal waste of time at any age. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
It's supposed to be funny watching these two characters and wondering who'll be the first to start acting her age, but it's really just pitiful, watching two talented actresses...given so little to work with. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
One almost pities the unnervingly twitchy Murphy, whose shiny makeup is dreadful, and who doesn't stand a chance alongside the focused intensity of Fanning, who commands the screen with the precision of a 30-year veteran. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
None of it is handled with any emotional believability or grace. Well-worn phrases and plot developments are repeated here as though the world had never heard of "Cinderella." Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'Sullivan
It's all too, too cute and too, too forced for words -- not to mention too, too dark. Read full review

Less "Freaky Friday" than just plain freaky. Read full review

EmpireAlan Morrison
Slap a restriction order on yourself and don't come within ten paces of this hideous concoction. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
A creepy, depressing and leering "comedy" that's a virtual collection of "What were they thinking?" moments. Read full review
