Uptown Girls (2003) In New York City, Molly Gunn is a spoiled, wealthy, immature young woman who lives as if she were a fairytale princess. Her father, a popular rock guitarist, died in a plane crash with her mother when she was little. In a nightclub on her birthday she meets Lorraine “Ray” Schleine, a nasty young girl with an adult attitude, who lives with her careless mother and a terminally-ill father in a fancy uptown apartment. When Molly’s accountant vanishes with her US$ 100,000,000.00 inheritance, she is left with nothing but debts and must work to survive–with no previous experience or marketable skills. She is hired to be Ray’s babysitter, and their close contact makes Molly reach maturity and Ray act like the 8-year-old she is. ??Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilAwards: 2 nominationsBudget: $20,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $44,617,342Soundtrack: Charmed Life (Written by Keith Brown and Steve Mandile)
