Summary: A modern fairytale starring Brittany Murphy as Molly Gunn, the spoilt daughter of a dead rock and roll star and Dakota Fanning as fussy eight year old, Ray. When she is swindled out of her inheritance, Molly finds the life of luxury she has grown to expect is no longer available. Needing to get a job, Molly is hired by a busy record executive (played by Heather Locklear) to work as a nanny for her daughter, Ray. Ray is hypochondriac child who acts like a little adult, telling the frivolous, spoilt Molly to 'Act Her Age'. Molly despite her new responsibilities tries to maintain her previous 'It Girl' lifestyle. Ray is distant from her busy mother and has had one nanny after another. Soon they learn from each other and form an unexpected friendship that will teach them to act their ages.

Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning star in this charming romp about a young woman and a young girl who are thrust together against the odds but ultimately teach each other something about life and love. Murphy is Molly Gunn, a rock and roll princess whose father was a famous music legend. She lives wildly off her inheritance--until the man in charge of her money run off with it. With bankruptcy staring her in the face, she is forced to do something she never dreamed of--get a job. So she becomes a nanny--for precocious Ray Schleine (Fanning), an eight-year-old who acts more mature than she does but doesn't have much fun in life.
Boaz Yakin's comedy is filmed throughout New York City and it takes advantage of that setting like few recent films. The streets of the city are another character as Molly and Ray slowly begin to develop a relationship that neither one ever dreamed would happen. The movie features support from Heather Locklear as Ray's very busy record executive mum, Donald Faison as Molly's party-loving music friend, and Jesse Spencer as Molly's musician boyfriend, who did all his own singing on the film and whose work appears on the soundtrack album.
