      just for fun

      Going to see this movie for the name of comedy. There are some disappointments.

      The story should have been a good story, but I don't know where the problem is. After watching the whole film, I just feel that everything is missing a bit. Not enough jokes, not enough sensationalism, not enough plot.

      The heroine Molly had no soul at all, just like a doll. And that little girl, Lei, was more interesting.

      Alas... Left and right is a fast food movie for a pastime, maybe...

      spicy baby

      To categorize this film, I'll label it Comedy and Ethical Drama. Movies like this are more than just entertainment! Easy to analyze human nature, happy to reason, what's wrong?
        When childhood is about to face the missing life, how will we react? This reminds me of "Sad City", a Hong Kong-style movie that describes a life that was missing in childhood. It is so full of rivers and lakes, and the ending is tragic, and it does not give the answer to how to get out of such a life. Just let...

      Let us hug each other tightly

      Both Molly and Ray are rich girls who lack care in their families. They have chosen two extreme ways to deal with this situation that are incompatible with their respective ages. Molly enjoys and does not know the sorrows all day long to escape the pain of the death of their parents. Ray is super Unimaginable maturity hides autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder. When they met, the two seemingly different but unusually inter-connected hearts slowly joined each other. Under the rotating bowl,...

      Another sweet girl, the star journey is unpredictable

      A movie that doesn't need to use your brain at all, and I feel relaxed and happy after watching it. The protagonists are two beautiful women, one big and one small, the elder is 22 years old and the younger is 8 years old. The little girl Dakota Fanning is simply a copy of Natalie Portman in "This Killer Is Not So Cold" more than a decade ago. A natural actor, with time, she will become a master.
      I am not impressed by the beauty starring Brittany Murphy. Hollywood has more sweet girls with...

      The heart that empathizes with the body is the tightest.

      Schopenhauer said: "It's either lonely or vulgar." But I want to say, perhaps, life is complicated and diverse. In modern society, perhaps few people will reach the realm of "independence from one's life and becoming immortal". Of course, that would not be a true life. Retaining a little bit of vulgar color, instead of a purely transcendent attitude, that is life, pure life. Similarly, on the path of growth, you also need to be with your confidant and find a soul mate.

    Evaluation action

    "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...

    Movie quotes

    • Molly Gunn: [after a small spat with Ingrid about not being able to pay for lunch] Fine, see if I care. I'll live off water and sunshine.

    • Ray: Why are you buttering a plastic scone?

      Molly Gunn: Why are there plastic scones when we have real food on the table? Huh?

    • Molly Gunn: I'm so sorry, Mrs Schleine.

      Roma Schleine: Thanks for coming, Miss Gunn.

      Molly Gunn: Are you kidding? Nothing could keep me away at a time like this.

      Roma Schleine: [she places a check in front of Molly] Last week's pay and a month's severance.

      Molly Gunn: Severance?

      Roma Schleine: We're letting you go.

      Molly Gunn: We?

      Roma Schleine: That's right. Me and Ray. We. Goodnight, Miss Gunn.

      Molly Gunn: I'm sorry, but I'm not leaving without an explanation.

      Roma Schleine: I don't know what's been going on between you and my daughter, but she has made it clear that she never wants to see you again.

      Molly Gunn: She must be going out of her mind with grief.

      Roma Schleine: Actually, she's taking it rather well. I was at my afternoon staff meeting when I got the news about my husband. I came home to find Ray doing her homework. She's been very calm and level-headed about this whole affair.

      Molly Gunn: You call that taking it well? Do you know what étage your daughter's at in ballet, Mrs Schleine? Or that she was banned from her science class for stealing a formaldehyde pig so she could give it a proper burial on central park? And the tea set you got her - it's exquisite and beautiful, but do you know how she likes to have her tea, how many lumps - one lump, two - cream, sugar?

      Roma Schleine: And the point of your little tirade is...

      Molly Gunn: That you're right. You don't know what goes on between me and Ray because you don't know very much about your own daughter.

      Roma Schleine: I know my daughter well enough to respect her wishes.

      Molly Gunn: You don't give her respect. You give her whatever she asks for so that you don't have to deal wit her. She's eight years old.

      [tears her check]

      Molly Gunn: She is not 28. Please remember that the next time you show her some respect.

      [storms out]
