June 23, 2011Quite enjoyed this film! It's one that make you feel good and happy. A must see!
-
December 5, 2010I wouldn't say this completely blew me away or something, but it was enjoyable. Though "flying around with a red umbrella" was a bit weird and there were more cheesiness involved (which I don't feel like explaining and it was tolerable enough to forgive),... read more

August 3, 2010I loved the book, so I was open minded towards the adaptation. Without the dry wit and sarcasm though, it feels like another bad script.

December 8, 2008Good performances, sweet story with requisite cringe factor. Alicia Keys' speaking voice is simply delicious.
-
October 6, 2008Johansson doesn't have plenty to do here except to become a very frustrated nanny who teaches her charge how to enjoy life and break unreasonable rules, something every child would definitely want to do given the innate rebellious streak within, especially from a spoiled brat. Th... read more

September 27, 2008Not the best thing I ever saw, but considering my total loathing of the book, I was surprised to be able to sit through the thing and only did so because I rented it for free and decided to give Scarlett the benefit of the doubt. Well, it wasn't as horrid as it could have been, ... read more

August 18, 2008The first thing you will say when watching this is that "I didn't know Paul Giamatti is in this". An aspiring executive/anthropologist fresh out of NYU decides to take some time off and become a nanny, documenting the entire situation for research purposes, but begins to feel for... read more

May 11, 2008This was really cute. It has a great, unique storyline and a really satisfying ending. I liked it.

May 3, 2008Scarlett Johansson plays nanny to a horrible couple (the X'es) with a cute kid. Eventually she leaves, but not before explaining the error of Mrs. X's ways who reforms and lives happily ever after.
There is a bit of kitsch in this movie!

David Denby, New Yorker
The Nanny Diaries, despite many bright moments and a superior level of craftsmanship, is now a flabby urban fairy tale. Full Review
August 25, 2007
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
This is the sort of ho-hum production that will likely seem less disappointing on a smaller screen. Full Review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Whatever its faults are, The Nanny Diaries is hardly the disaster that the gossipmongers -- including, perhaps, even the studio that made it -- want us to believe. Full Review

Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal
A clever, satiric novel turned dull-witted movie. Full Review
August 24, 2007
Claudia Puig, USA Today
A film that is even more lightweight and clichéd than the fluff that was the best-selling book. Full Review

Susan Walker, Toronto Star
What puts The Nanny Diaries a cut above the run-of-the-mill romantic comedy is the acting. Full Review
August 24, 2007
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
A movie that is much better than a slick adaptation of a best-selling novel has any right to be. Full Review
August 24, 2007
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
There's a heart-sinking moment early in The Nanny Diaries when it becomes apparent that every literary gimmick that seemed arch and clever in the bestselling novel of 2002 is going to fall horribly fl... Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
There's something painful about watching Scarlett Johansson, who looks as if she never had an indecisive moment in her life, struggle to seem ineffectual. Full Review
