A movie that has no special surprise or clue, but the movie itself isn't bad. it's a feel-good, heartwarming movie for a good afternoon. And Scarlett looks fantastic ;) 7/10

I remember watching this movie when I was younger and feeling very identified with Annie. A recently graduated girl who had no idea what to do with her life and ended up as a nanny for a rich kid in Manhattan because she needed money. That would be me, basically without the luxury penthouse, without the hot neighbor and in Spain of course. I really liked the relationship between Annie and Grayer. The kid starts out as an insufferable brat, but little by little you could see he was like that because his parents ignored him. Annie at first was only there for the job, but ends up genuinely caring for him. The weakest part was the [SPOILER] romance with the penthouse neighbor. Very formulaic, very predictable, no real chemistry. Every time he appeared I thought "okay, this is unnecessary". [/SPOILER] It's not a movie that changed my life, but I watched it at a time when I was also lost not knowing what to do, and something about that connected. Perfect for a Sunday on the couch with a blanket.

It's interesting to see Laura Linney playing against type as a self obsessed rich bitch

Based on the bestselling novel, _The Nanny Diaries_ is a witty and heartfelt comedy. The story follows a recent anthropology graduate who takes a job as a nanny for a rich Fifth Avenue family, but soon finds the culture shock a little hard to handle. Featuring an impressive cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney, Chris Evans, and Alicia Keys, the performances are pretty good. And the comedy is also rather impressive, and delivers some wry satire about the nanny culture and the effects that it has on the family. However, the character development is a little weak and the plot’s a bit contrived at times. Yet overall,_The Nanny Diaries_ is a fun and entertaining film with a poignant message.

A good decent entertaining film as it follows a young woman out of college who picks up a nanny gig while she figures out her future. The job ends up going array as the family she works for is a horribly self absorbed disfunctional wealthy group. But in the end the heart wrenching journey shows the film’s essence being that an unexpected opportunity at the right time can open one’s eyes to world’s hard truths and help one discover themselves. Many big time actors in this film and the plot ran smoothly and touched some emotions, but this is a pretty basic film.
