Pure schmaltz and it works
Added 10/30/2009
Brittany Murphy is the indulged orphan daughter of a 70s or 80s rock star who died in an accident with his wife. An accountant steals all her money and suddenly this unskilled party girl needs to get a job. She gets one at last as nanny to Dakota Fanning, a stern nine year old who behaves as if she were a ninety year old spinster. Brittany and Dakota go through the contest of wills stuff; Brittany falls for an up and coming rock 'n roller (actually more a balladeer); girl meets boy, girl loses boy, boy sleeps with girl's employer - you get the picture. Actually the movie holds together only because everyone knows everyone else from being the music business.
The movie is pure schmaltz. The storyline is weak. But even so, the director builds the story between Brittany and Dakota and it ends as a real coming of age and girl story. Not many dry eyes in the house at the end of this one. Not art - just fun.

POLOS OPUESTOS TERMINAN NECESITANDOSE
Added 1/31/2009
Es la verdad...tu nunca puedes saber de donde te aparecera esa persona que se convertira en tu mejor apoyo y tu amigo(a) mas fiel; es la moraleja que esta muy divertida pero audaz comedia nos deja, con una Brittany Murphy haciendo gala tanto de su sensualidad como de su hilarante sentido del humor, con un personaje atolondrado, infantil y loco, que al final aprende a madurar y a ser mas una mujer adulta; y una Dakota Fanning muy seria, intransigente y super estricta que aprende a ser una niña y a valorar su niñez...ideal pelicula para todo el que busca identificar la amistad verdadera.

Gagtown Movie
Added 10/25/2008
The problem with films like this is that the directors and writers don't trust the skills of their actors. They're calling Murphy the next Lucy but they force her into contrived situations that scream insincerity! Dakota is one of the most gifted and natural actors working today but here they spoon feed "precocious" lines into her that even she must have choked on for a paycheck. Watch any mature film of hers next to this one and you'll probably gag yourself.
Unless you thrive on insipid fluff and happy pap, I'd stay clear of this one for sure.

Sorry to all the haters out there, but this was a really funny movie. I'm not even a real fan of Ashton. I don't watch That 70's Show. But this IS a great movie. Well written, lots of laugh out loud moments, lots of insight into relationships, and a great ending that proves this guy can act. I think the first three reviews are BS. I think most couples would enjoy this movie. Relationships take work... it's not all smooth sailing... and that's what this movie shows, in a really funny and engaging way. Kudos to the cast and crew.

Every reason to not get married,followed by a reason to get married. I imagine this is what Ashton Kutcher's life is like with Bruce Willis being around.
