Summary: 5 Stars
Here you will find a nine year old Ray helping her 20 something nanny Molly find her way. Ray is a nine year older who has everything a little girl could have want and most anything money can buy. But, she has a mother who doesn't have time for her and a father who is deathly ill. Molly gives Ray that one thing she's looking for LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. She also teaches Ray to be a KID that she should be. Ray helps Molly come to grips with some issues she's been fighting since the death of her father who was a great musician. The two were an awesome pair and meant to cross paths.This movie will make you laugh, cry and more! Very refreshing movie and a must have.

I'm a fan of cute, sweet, happy ending movies, you know, the typical "chick flick." However,this one was TOTALLY lame!! The characters, plots, EVERYTHING and EVERYONE were extremely unbelieveable and so superficial. The whole movie was so far from any part of reality, it was almost painful to watch. Don't waste your time or your money.Movie Review: Entertaining but Somewhat Depressing Too....
Summary: 4 Stars
I have watched this DVD many times with my daughter who enjoys it. I enjoy it too, but even though the story of Molly Gunn, an heiress to her deceased parents fortune, is likeable, her character is also irritatingly unrealistic. She is like Edie Sedgwick minus the drugged out debauchery. How can someone have so much and have no clue to reality being in the world alone? Someone like this would be extra street smart having to make it with no guidance but then there would be no movie. If you can stand that much, we start on Mollys birthday leaving her pig Moo in her apartment on her carefree dizzy way to her own surprise birthday party. She there experiences love at first sight with the British Singer who entertains at the party and has to have him even though like Morrisey as they say, is happily celibate.
She also meets Rae (Dakota Fanning)a charmingly hateful and pre-wizened 8 year old with a Rock Manager Mogul mom, played by Heather Locklear. Molly thinks nothing of the little snob who puts her down very efficiently until escorted back to her table.
Molly soon finds herself with the rocker she so had to have, then rejects, then gets desperate when he rejects her back, and what is worse, she is in the dark, with no bills paid and NO money after her "parents guy Bob" embezzles the fortune and leaves her with nothing.
Faced with finding employment is a daunting task, especially for a ditzy irresponsible flower child in the wrong decade like Molly. But, she finds a job taking care of, guess who? RAE!
How does this all go for Molly and Rae, watch and see.
This movie is enjoyable and entertaining. You could definitely see it more than once, but somehow it is mired in a mood of melancholy for a movie that was meant to be mostly light and fun, or is it? I am not sure what the writers, director and producer were thinking. It is a mix of a tearjerker and comedy, which is hard to pull off, yet this does, and does it pretty well. Brittney Murphy is fairly likeable but somewhat irritating as mentioned before, and Dakota Fanning, well there is a softer side that Molly manages to uncover.
All in all, a nice family oriented movie, but not exactly a light hearted romp as you would expect. The fault here is many depressing moments leaving a cloud of depression over the entire film. Not a perfect movie, but infinitely watchable regardless.
