Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The name Scarlett Johansson is enough to raise at least some interest in most males. Pair that with what looks like it could be a funny romance and I'm in.I wish I could say it was funny. Unfortunately for me, I have a hard time with satire, especially the more extreme it is. At least I hope this is extreme. I really hate to think that there are real nannies with lives like this.This movie parodies some deeply sad issue with absentee parenting. I was pulled in by Nanny (Annie) and Grayer's plight. The movie gets a little preachy about it.Scarlett Johansson plays new graduate with no backbone at all. Because she is a total doormat, her employers totally wipe their feet on her and her feelings. This made it hard for me to watch.I thought the climax of the story was good and it really wasn't what I expected.There isn't a lot of romance in the movie.

This film was beautiful and stars was successful.Film's name is The Nany Diaries but in film, don't much mention nanny's love.Usually mentions rich families' communication with their children in film.It was a classical nanny film.But while I was watching film,I was boring. Film was comic and emotional.Perhaps, It's describing a lot of family's life. When parents neglected their children , they was doing business.It counsels a lot of family.Also It was mentioning , person's instability for selection job. Outwise Scarlett Jhonsson was great.I enjoy it.Generally,film was beautiful.I advice to watch the film. Especially parents should watch the film.

There's something very wrong with this film named "The Nanny Diaries" and that is lack of substance and lack of trying to make this more interesting, more compelling and less sentimentalist.What's the story? Scarlett Johansson plays a college graduate who after finishing his years of studying, and not having luck to find a job in the field she desired ends up working as a nanny to the spoiled and annoying kid (Nicholas Art) of a rich but heartless family, a couple played by Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti. Here begins lots of trouble to this young girl and the beginning of his higher learning of how people really are and how happiness is not measured in the same quantity of money you have as she discovers that this kid can't even have one moment with his family. To make things a little lighter to the nanny she has the company of a great and wise friend (Alicia Keys) and the Harvard Hottie Hayden (Chris Evans, who is amazing playing a Prince Charming kind of guy) a neighbor of the X family as she calls them during the movie.I have not read the book in which this film was based, and I'm not sure if I want it to, so this review won't be focused in telling if the film is faithful to the written work. When the creators of the fantastic and original "American Splendor" make a film such as "The Nanny Diaries" you think: what happened to them? This movie isn't worth of their direction and screenplay, it's not worth of having a good cast (and they're good in their roles) who is going to be put in a plot where its line of thought is repeating the same thing over and over again.This movie was great to made my personal thesis (about why people have children and make families) something to be debated. Once again we've seen a film that says that children only exists to be a status in a family, to be a mere object of bringing couples closer to each other when they start to be distant with their work affairs and lovers and other vicious; a kid in the family is also a sexual status to other people, I mean when you see more kids in a family you know that the couple had lots of sex (unless they're adopted but this specific case does not enter in my theory) and that's the way they show to society. Once again, a film said to us that rich people are heartless and mean persons who throw their kids to the nanny, instead of taking care of them because they need to make more money, go to shopping all day long, because in that way everybody gets happy. And once again a clichéd movie had to show the problematic of a only child situation (which is my case and I honestly hate the way they are portrayed in films because some psychological studies says that they are spoiled, ungrateful and things like that, almost diminishing their value). Yes, the kid is annoying for the most of the film but I loved the way he changed throughout the film, he become more loving, to the nanny of course, and he always begs for his parents attention, a very believable situation. And we have the nanny's theory that money doesn't make things easier and her Antropology views that are presented here. Well, I can't say more about Antropology and the way of societies conducing things but as for the money not making things easier I'll say this: The money makes things easier but you've gotta throw your heart and emotions in the garbage, just like the parents in this film and as many influential rich people around the world playing with other people's emotions believing that they're always sad and unhappy when actually they're not or they shouldn't be.The happy ending worked but not that much, it come too late to get my attention. As a comedy this movie fails big time, it doesn't have the guts to be funny and it doesn't tries to be a comedy because it's too much demanding in dramatic levels. This comments might seem cruel or angrier but I can't help having watched as previous film a shocking reality presented in "Ken Park" where less fortunate teenagers have awkward life experiences and most of the time their parents are there and even worse they are part of traumatic moments of their kids lives and that movie didn't make me get out of the chair despite its crude, its twisted and its bizarre moments while this other nanny film made me think on other things that has noting to do with it. It is so surrealistic that it become something realistic. I know "Ken Park" is not a ordinary film that everybody can watch just like "The Nanny Diaries" but at least it said something more to me and my life than this poor work; I felt sorry for the kids in "Ken Park" but for the little boy in "The Nanny Diaries" I just couldn't care at all. 5/10

Recent college grad Annie Braddock (Scarlett Johansson) is all set for a career in business when she quite literally falls into a position as nanny for the four-year-old son (Nicholas Art) of a snooty, self-absorbed Upper East Side socialite named Alexandra X, played by a sadly miscast Laura Linney (among many of the movie's wearisomely cutesy touches is not giving a surname to the family that hires her).Based on the novel by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, "The Nanny Diaries" is, unfortunately, every bit as predictable and trite as its simpleminded premise would lead one to expect. Beyond trafficking in just about every stereotype and cliché imaginable - the heartless, neurotic, slave-driving elitists; the sensitive knight-in-shining armor love interest (Chris Evans); the nagging, free-living best friend; the lecherous, nanny-chasing husband (Paul Giamatti) - the movie is woefully unsuccessful even at treading that fine line between cleverness and cuteness that can make or break a film of this type. There is an affectionate tribute to "Mary Poppins" that - early on at least - suggests that the movie might actually try to do something a little daring, a little different. But that air of fanciful creativity is quickly squelched in favor of formulaic storytelling and cookie cutter characterizations.Interestingly, the filmmakers, for all their championing of the women employed as nannies, seem to have almost as low an opinion of the profession itself as do the elite snobs who appear on screen.All told, Johansson is really the only decent thing about "The Nanny Diaries" (well, little Nicholas Art is pretty cool too), but even her staunchest admirers would be well advised to look the other way when it comes to this film.
