[@iamai_iggs]

this movie was so much more nuance and beautiful than the rating given to it because the men who rated it simply did not understand the theme of navigating childhood trauma, grief, abandonment and girlhood

[@siva6272]

its a chick flick....🥴

[@nayaabshah1155]

@@siva6272 you don’t get it. Sad.

[@siva6272]

@@nayaabshah1155 i do get it . not sad

[@iamai_iggs]

@@siva6272 I literally listed out the themes in the movie for you to look for and you still don't get it. quite sad for you indeed.

[@thiskid990]

Was just thinking about this. You see it in every movie where the main character is a girl honestly. Even Tarantino films get this treatment lol. This movie is so overlooked

[@blossomx1804]

Ive always been impressed with Dakota Fannings actung skills. Especially as a child. So natural.

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

As I'm impressed with your spelling 😉

[@purplemist7]

​@@SERGIO-cr6uyWhy not correct them? Maybe English isn't their first language.

[@cherrysIushie]

Yes! That “You’re not gonna!” was so good hahaha 3:36

[@bugzpudding]

@@purplemist7even if it is its a shame people still come at others for simple spelling errors. like the call is coming from inside of the house if its a problem to you

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

As someone who lost their dad as a young kid, this movie portrays that grief so well. RIP Brittany 🤍

[@madelineanabella6400]

Does anyone know what happened to Brittney? I hear a different story everywhere I look.

[@MissAshley-jq9gl]

​@madelineanabella6400 I think she was sick with the flu and it went to her lungs and she accidentally overdosed. It's very odd because her husband died similarly

[@lisamcdonald1014]

She died of pneumonia which the coroner reported

[@VirtualLunacy]

Britney Murphy just oozed charisma. She was a special kind of person.

[@bellak46]

This movie will forever be a favorite. It feels so comforting watching it. As a child it felt magical and luxurious.

[@itiswhatitismydudes]

This movie is everything

[@user-kb8mt9uz4h]

What is the name of movie please

[@dgeneric7518]

I really think the saddest part of this movie WAS getting Ray almost excited to ride the teacups, and watching her take public transport, and mastering a bite of the hot dog; and then they get there and it's complete disappointment that the park is closed... That hurt me, and reminded me of my own childhood disappointments. Now as a mom, I warn my kids never to expect that things will go perfect. It's heartbreaking when your children are disappointed.

[@anacom4238]

Yep but I think they put that in there because that's what happens in reality sometimes and it's a time to teach them how to handle sadness in a healthy way

[@pip.pip.pooray]

same goes to when molly promised that ray's dad will last longer...molly shouldve not be so sure and make it clear it cant be for certain but theres a big chance. otherwise, i love molly and ray together. seems like they healed each other

[@Kc54976]

Now as an adult I see it differently. Not only that point that things don’t always work out. But also showing that Britney Murphys character is not acting like an adult who would maybe plan out going etc

[@sindel545]

The way that Ray acts in the beginning is a spitting image of her mother, because she wants her mothers approval, attention and validation. It's actually quite sad, especially the Fruit Punch scene -- you could totally see her judgemental and pretentious mom saying that to her, and Ray is just regurgitating that sentiment she was told to Molly.

[@bmr1010]

A through pleasing notion.

[@santanahibbler]

Brittany Murphy could have played Barbie for sure 😢

[@kyon-kyon-]

yes in this movie she reminded me of a barbie doll

Britney Murphy. What a star that had so much to give, and talent. She would have been a movie star I’m sure, she was funny and also did dramatic well. Love this movie x

[@jessicaavery751]

She..WAS..a movie star. She starred in this movie…??

[@velvetchiharu]

@@jessicaavery751 lol she was definitely a movie star… wonder if commenter just wasn’t around at the time. Brittany Murphy had already been in several big films (8-mile?? Girl interrupted??) alongside other talented actors and even dated Eminem and Ashton Kutcher during a time when tabloids were at their peak. She wasn’t the biggest, biggest star but she was easily a household name.

[@Inspired-one58]

She definitely WAS a movie star! She starred in some huge movies.

[@madelineanabella6400]

She was in 8 mile with Eminem… I think he was dating the actress that played his mother at the time… Kim Basinger , I think was her name but I could be wrong.

[@arontamas5639]

When Ray replied after Molly said she's employed by her mom: "Look around. You see her anywhere?" That was one of the saddest reply as a comeback.....

[@lisamcdonald1014]

Parental abandonment at its sadness

Believe me, those chemicals aren’t great, neither is excess fluoride from brushing double daily. I’d reccomend light use and if tummy upset then use Herbal toothpastes like Himalaya brand

Coconut oil can be used to do “oil pulling” which is naturally drawing out stains, just swish with coconut oil

Britney Murphy is gone, but Dakota Fanning's still around. These two were a perfect duo for the film.

[@laurenj6771]

I bet this was so fun for Dakota to film. It’s every kid’s dream to be able to act like this without getting in trouble for it at some point in their life

Such an underrated movie! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@costealucia5357]

Such a talented kid was Dakota, i don't see many mvoies with ehr anymore but clearly she is a good actrice.

[@RiversBeachNature]

She left acting to finish high school and graduate from college. She's a doctor or something now.

[@MsJubjubbird]

She was good but when she was no longer cute then she was like any other actress. I think her sister had more talent
