I read “The Nanny Diaries” way back in 2002 and salivated over the fact that the movie rights were snatched up right away. I was starting to wonder if this movie would ever come out!? I can remember seeing previews slating it to be in theatres April 2007, but eventually in Sept. 2007 my curiosity and excitement was appeased.
The Nanny Diaries is a fun yet heart wrenching look into the job of a Manhattan Nanny, Annie( Scarlett Johansson). Annie just graduated from college and doesn’t know what to do next. The path to Corporate America doesn’t seem appealing and she starts to second-guess her life. While wandering in the park she is propositioned by Mrs. X (Laura Linney) to be her new nanny. Mrs. X sucks Annie into her life by falsely portraying the job. Anne accepts the position and then proceeds to hide the fact from her mother. (She didn’t send her to college to be a Nanny). Anne finds herself becoming attached to young Grayer the little boy she is charge of. She also develops a romantic relationship with “Harvard Hottie” a young man living in the same building as the “X’s.” Mrs. X is quick to remind her that he is out of her league, but as we know from the beginning Annie is in a league of her own. Annie tries her best to do her job but finds a series of events including sexual harassment (Mr. X) forcing her to leave. This movie has some hilarious parts…. Nanny Cam…. need I say more.
This movie is a must in any chick-flick collection. Great stocking stuffer.
